Celebrations also held through online events where Shia Islamic scholars highlighted numerous aspects of the sacred life of Imam Hassan (AS).

Poets and eulogists also presented poetry regarding Imam Hassan (AS).

Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) was the son of Bibi Fatima Zahra (AS) and Amir al Maumineen Imam Ali (AS). He was grandson of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH), prophet of Islam and Humanity and brother of Imam Hussain (AS).

The last apostle of God and Prophet of Islam and Humanity Hazrat Mohammad (SAWW) had declared (Imam) Hassan and (Imam) Hussain (PBUT) leaders of youth in paradise.

Similarly, he declared Bibi Fatima (PBUH) the leader of women in heavens.

Likewise, Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) declared Hazrat Ali (PBUH) the Maula (master or guardian) like himself for his followers.

Due to these Godly declarations, Muslims revere these figures as sacred members of Ahl-e-Bait (or House of Prophethood).

Those who declared their allegiance to Maula Ali as their first leader (Imam) after Hazrat Mohammad (BUH)’s passing away were called Shia Muslims.

However, majority among the non-Shia Muslims revere Maula Ali, Bibi Fatima and Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (PBUT) as Ahle-Bayt (AS).

They also recognize Hazrat Ali (AS) and Imam Hassan (AS) as caliphs (Islamic rulers).

Hence, Ahle Bayt remains the source of unity of almost all Muslims, excluding takfiris and nasbis.

Meanwhile, Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi and Allama Raja Nasir Abbas Jafari have issued statements on the birth anniversary.

They said that the sacred life of Imam Hassan (AS) mirrored the holy life of Hazrat Mohammad (BUH).
