A Brief Biography Of Imam Hasan

Imam Hasan (a.s.) is our second Imam. He is the first-born of the family of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Bibi Fatima (s.a.). He is also known by such other names as “MUJTABA” and “SHABBAR”.
He was born on 15th Ramadhan 3 AH (March 1st 625 AD) in Medina. What happiness his birth must he have brought not only to his parents but also to the Prophet himself. When the Prophet’s last living son, Tahir, died, two polytheists (“KUFFAR”) of Mecca Amr B. Aas and Hakam B. Aas started to bug the Prophet, calling him “ABTAR”. This was because the Prophet did not have any son and the “Kuffar” thought that with the Prophet’s death his name and work would end. The behavior of “Kuffar” made the Prophet sad. Therefore Allah revealed “Surat-ul-Kawthar” (Chapter 107) promising the Prophet that he will not remain “Abtar” (or without issues or children) but will have Abundance (“Kawthar”). The birth of Imam Hasan (a.s.) from the Prophet’s daughter Bibi Fatima (s.a.) was the first step towards Allah’s fulfillment of His promise.
