Event

Uprising of al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi to Avenge Imam al-Hussain (as)

The chapter examines Shi’ism's origins in political caliphal struggles, involving oligarchic timocracy and marginalized resistance, intertwined with religion unlike Western church-state separation. It details early divisions after Imams ‘Ali, Hasan, and Husayn, focusing on Mukhtar al-Thaqafi's 685-686 Kufah insurrection as enlightened messianic activist, avenging Husayn's death on behalf of Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafiyyah as Mahdi. Shi’ism is a metaphysical restoration of Prophethood through Imams' wilayah, not mere politics or founded by figures like Ibn Saba’.

Celebration

Birth of Zainab (as)

Lady Zainab (as) was the third child of Lady Fatima az-Zahra (sa), born in 5 A.H. after Imam Husayn (as), refuting claims she followed a miscarriage of Mohsin, which historians like Bint Ash-Shati use to downplay the attack on Fatima's house. Named "Zainab" by the Prophet (S), meaning "embellishment of her father," or via Gabriel. Her life involved noble traits amid tragedies: deaths of grandfather and mother, father's confinement, his martyrdom, battles, Hasan's poisoning, Karbala massacre, captivity to Syria, return to Medina, and exile to Egypt, where her tomb is visited (though most believe it's in Syria).

Event

Battle of the Camel

The Battle of Basra, or Battle of the Camel, marked the Second Civil War in Islam after Uthman's assassination and Ali's accession as caliph. Ayesha, Talha, and Zubayr, using vengeance for Uthman as pretext for their ambitions, raised a 3000-strong army in Mecca, captured Basra, killed 600 Muslims, and seized the treasury. Ali, after failed peace efforts and mustering 700 volunteers plus Kufan reinforcements, confronted them. Negotiations failed; Zubayr deserted and was killed, Talha died in battle, and Ayesha's camel became the focal point until slain, leading to rebel defeat. Ali showed mercy, pardoned leaders including Ayesha, and reunited the umma.
