Celebration

Birth of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

Muhammad was born posthumously in 570 CE in Makkah to Amina after Abdullah's death, inheriting property like camels and sheep, proving prophets can bequeath to children—contrasting later seizure of Fadak from Fatima. Sent to desert nurse Halima for four years, he returned at five; mother died at six, grandfather Abdul Muttalib at eight, who entrusted him to uncle Abu Talib, new Banu Hashim leader. Abu Talib raised him lovingly; at twelve, Muhammad traveled to Syria, earning titles Al-Amin and Sadiq for trustworthiness. At twenty, he joined war without fighting and the League of the Virtuous against exploitation.

Celebration

Birth of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (as)

Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq, the sixth Shi’a Imam, born in 83 or 86 A.H., was renowned for his scholarship, piety, and founding Ja’fari jurisprudence. His Imamate (114-148 A.H.) spanned seven caliphs and the Umayyad-Abbasid transition, allowing him to train thousands of students, including Abu-Hanifah, in Islamic sciences. He demonstrated vast knowledge in debates and texts like Tawhid al-Mufaddal, supported Shi’a uprisings such as Zayd’s, confronted tyrants non-violently, and was martyred by poison at age 65 in 148 A.H.
