Birth of Imam Hassan (as)

The Joy of the Ahl al-Bayt

Imam Hassan (a.s.) was born on the 15th of Ramadan 3 AH. He was the first child of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Lady Fatima (s.a.). The Prophet (PBUH) personally named him 'Hassan' (the handsome/good), a name chosen by Allah. The Prophet deeply loved him and his brother Hussain, calling them the 'Leaders of the Youth of Paradise.'

His Character and Peace Treaty

Imam Hassan (a.s.) was known for his extraordinary generosity, patience, and resemblance to the Prophet. During his short caliphate, to prevent the mass slaughter of true believers and expose the hypocrisy of Muawiyah, he entered into a strategic peace treaty. This treaty laid the groundwork for Imam Hussain's (a.s.) revolution in Karbala. (Source: Sulh al-Hasan by Shaykh Radi Al-Yasin)
