A brief look at the life of Imam Hasan-e-Mujtaba (AS

Shiite News: It is the requirement of nature that a person loves things related to himself and his loved ones more and sometimes even exceeds the limit, especially when a person’s self has not been trained.

Every action seems good, even if it is against the rules and laws. Therefore, the support, confirmation and encouragement of a common person like us is not very important for anyone, because we are often influenced by our feelings and emotions, but there have been such people in history, who have never said anything according to emotions, not on the basis of feelings and emotions, when They expresses love for someone and shows excessive desire, they does not say anything on their own behalf, their love and enmity always for God.

If we look at the history, it is found that a person who is description of

مَایَنطَقُ عَنِ الھَوَا اِن ھُوَ اَلاَّ وَحیٍ یُّوحَی

When he ((PBUH) expresses so much love to a person, he is definitely doing this action away from human emotions and feelings, which has expressed in many of his sayings, in which HE has always expressed love for his Off Springs somewhat out of the norm, sometimes appeared to be a ride for Hasnain AS, and sometimes got down from the pulpit while giving a sermon and adopted them, sometimes tell the people of the world about their importance and personality through sayings.

The Qur’an testifies to the purity and importance of these persons, but despite this, the Muslim Ummah did not respect the sanctity of these persons immediately after departure of Prophet (PBUH), they did not refrain from slandering and inflicting torture.

Birth of Imam Hasan Mujtaba (AS):

According to the late Shaykh Mufid in al-Arshad, his surname is Abu Muhammad and he was born in the city of Madinah on the 15th of Ramadan, 3rd Hijri.

His mother, the daughter of the Prophet, Fatima Zahra, peace and blessings be upon him, wrapped him in a heavenly cloth (which Gabriel brought from heaven for the Messenger of God) and brought him to his father and the Holy Prophet named him Hasan.

(1) While according to some other hadith books, when he was born, Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) said to Ali (AS) to name this child. But Ali AS said that he cant take preference from Prophet PBUH in giving a name.

When the Messenger of Allah came, he recited the Adhan (call to prayer) in the right ear and Iqamah in the left ear and asked Ali (AS) what name was given to this child.

He said, O Messenger of Allah, I will not take precedence over you in giving the name. At that time, the Holy Prophet said, I will not take precedence over my Lord. The relationship between you and Ali is like that of Moses and Aaron (Ali has the same relationship with you as Aaron had with Moses), so name this child the son of Aaron, you asked what was his name? Gabriel said, Shabbar said, My language is Arabic, what should I keep? He said Hassan, thus the Holy Prophet named him Hassan. (2)

Imam Hasan in the eyes of the Qur’an

According to all Shia scholars and some Sunni scholars, Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) is one of the examples of Ayyat Tatheer, which indeed is the testimony of Quran on the nobleness, purification of Prophet’s family.
“Verily, verily Allah intends but to keep off from you (every kind of) uncleanness, O you the people of the House, and purify you (with) a thorough purification.”

Verses 5 to 10 of Surah Dhar were revealed in honor of his family. The late Allama Amini has mentioned the glory of this verse in Al-Ghadir as being revealed to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) from 34 books of Ahl al-Sunnah and the late Qazi Noorullah Shushtri has copied it from 36 of his books. (6)

Imam Hasan AS, according to Holy Prophet (PBUH):

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has remembered his grandchildren through such attributes that it can be inferred that his status was so hight in the eyes of the Holy Prophet.
Only the Hadith of Saqlain is sufficient for grace of Imam Hasan AS, in which the Ahl al-Bayt was declared equal to the Qur’an and inseparable from the Qur’an until the Day of Resurrection.

Bara’ bin Azib says,
I heard the Messenger of God saying
“رایت النبی صلی اللہ والحسن علی عاتقہ یقول اللھم انی احبہ فاحبہ۔۔”

O Allah, I love him, so love him.” Who loves him” (7) The Prophet of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said about Imam Hasan, peace be upon him: “O God! Even if I love him, love him and his friends too.”
The hadith of the Messenger of Allah, which is known about Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), is also found with the same article about Imam Hasan, ” The Holy Prophet said, “Hassan is from me and I am from Hasan. God loves the one who loves Hasan.”

Imam Hasan AS and remembrance of God:

Whenever Imam Hasan went to the mosque, he turn his head towards the sky and say to God, O God, your guest has come to your door, O Lord of goodness, a sinner has come to your court, O Lord! Please forgive my sins for the sake of your beautiful grace and dignity. Whenever you ready for worship, your color would change and your body would tremble. (12)

Stages of Imam’s Life:

The life of an Imam is divided into two phases, the life before Imamat and the life after Imamat. The life before the Imamate itself, i.e. the life before the martyrdom of Ali (peace be upon him) is divided into three parts.

1. His childhood: That is, he spent 7 years with his grandfather, the Messenger of God. In this short period, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spared no time in describing his excellence and importance on various occasions. Whenever there was an opportunity, these two personalities were introduced and they were declared as the chiefs of the youths of heaven.

2. Period of the Three Caliphs: During these periods also he spent time in the service of Islam
Urwa narrates one day Abu Bakr was giving a sermon. Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) came and said in a loud voice, get down from the pulpit of my father, Abu Bakr said, by God, he said correctly, this pulpit belongs to your father, not to my father. (13)

The period of Imamate:

This period consists of two parts, from the allegiance of the people to the peace agreement and from it to the martyrdom, although outwardly, the allegiance of Imam Hasan also conformed to all the requirements like the allegiance of the rest of the Caliphs.

He gave a meaningful sermon after the martyrdom of his father! “O people, the Qur’an was revealed in this night and Jesus son of Maryam was raised to heaven and Joshua son of Nun was killed and my father was also martyred in that night. By God, any of the prophets before and after my father, anyone will not go to heaven before him. Whenever the Messenger of God sent him (Ali AS) to fight with warriors, Gabriel would fight on the right and Michael on the left. He did not leave any wealth or wealth.” (15)

After that, Ubaidullah bin Abbas got up and persuaded the Muslims to pledge allegiance and said: O people, these are the sons of your Prophet and the successors of your Imam. So pledge allegiance to him. The people pledged allegiance to him and said from all your polite. (16) But Muawiya violated all these rules and refused to obey government of Imam Hassan AS and war was imposed.

Enemies attack on Imam’s personality:

These imams were oppressed even today. No effort has been spared to tarnish the personality of these great personalities through false history and fake riwayat.

The whole machinery of Bani Umayyah created various Riwayat against Ali AS and his family to spoil their personality, and especially by ignorant friends and aware enemies, especially Mansoor Abbasi, in spoiling the personality of Imam Hasan. Bani Abbas gained power through slogans revenge for the blood of Hussain (peace be upon him).
