She married him 15 years before Bi'tha (595 CE) and was the first woman to convert to Islam, dedicating her wealth to its expansion.

Commemoration

Death of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi (ra)

The article defends Mukhtar al-Thaqafi's character against controversies, portraying him as a loyal Shi'a revolutionary who avenged Imam Husayn's killers, uplifted the underprivileged, and promoted social equality in seventh-century Iraq. Accusations of heresy, founding sects like the Kaysaniyyah, and falsely naming Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah as Mahdi are dismissed as Umayyad propaganda. Mukhtar's bravery, honor, and generosity are highlighted, emphasizing his focus on justice over doctrinal innovation.

Celebration

Birth Imam al-Hassan (as)

Fatima az-Zahra gave birth to Imam Hasan on Ramadhan 15, 3 A.H., with Asma Bint Umais present. Despite the Prophet's instruction against wrapping the baby in yellow cloth, it happened unintentionally. Upon return, the Prophet removed it, wrapped him in white, and named him Al-Hasan following divine revelation via Gabriel, adapting Haroun's son's name Shubbar to Arabic. He performed Adhan and Iqamah, and on the seventh day sacrificed rams, shaved the head, gave charity, and rejected the blood custom.

Battle of Badr

In early 624, Muhammad led 313 Muslims to intercept a Quraysh caravan at Badr, but faced a 1000-strong army instead. After consultations affirming support from Muhajirs and Ansar, they secured water sources strategically. The battle began with duels where Ali and Hamza killed key Makkan champions, including Walid and Utbah. Muslims held firm against charges, counterattacked, slaying Abu Jahl and routing the enemy. Islam's first victory, with Ali killing 22, secured its survival; 50 prisoners were ransomed or freed after teaching literacy.

Commemoration

Wounding of Imam Ali (as)

Imam Ali foresaw his assassination by Abd Al-Rahman ibn Muljim, interacting with him multiple times and warning of treachery. Ibn Muljim, influenced by Qatam whose family Ali had killed, agreed to kill him for marriage, recruiting Shabib and Wirdan. On the 19th of Ramadan, Ali spent the night in prayer and shared prophetic dreams with his family. During dawn prayer at the mosque, Ibn Muljim struck him with a poisoned sword. Ali instructed kind treatment of his assassin, emphasizing mercy.

Commemoration

Martyrdom of Imam Ali (as)

A group of Khawarij plotted to assassinate Imam Ali during Hajj in Makkah, blaming him for Muslim bloodshed alongside Mu’awiyah and Amr ibn Al-As; Abd Al-Rahman ibn Muljim targeted Ali on the 19th of Ramadan at dawn prayer. Evidence suggests Umayyad involvement through funding, incitement, and spies like Al-Ash’ath. Ali foresaw his death, advised Ibn Muljim, and spent the night in worship. Struck by Ibn Muljim’s poisoned sword during prostration, Ali issued last wills emphasizing piety, justice, and mercy, appointing Al-Hasan successor before dying on the 21st night.
