The Challenge of Truth

The event of Mubahala is a landmark in Islamic history, occurring on the 24th of Dhul Hijjah 10 AH. The Christians of Najran disputed with the Prophet (PBUH) regarding the divinity of Prophet Isa (Jesus). Following divine instruction (Quran 3:61), the Prophet challenged them to a 'Mubahala' (mutual invoking of a curse on the liars).

The Purest Household

Instead of bringing a large crowd, the Prophet (PBUH) brought only the purest souls: himself, Imam Ali (a.s.) as his 'self', Lady Fatima (s.a.) as his 'women', and Imam Hassan and Hussain (a.s.) as his 'sons'. Seeing the illuminated faces of the Ahl al-Bayt, the Christian bishop recognized their truthfulness and backed down from the challenge, agreeing to pay the Jizyah. (Source: Tafsir al-Kashshaf)

Aamal for Eid al-Mubahala

This day highlights the unparalleled status of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.). It is highly recommended to perform Ghusl, fast, recite the Ziyarat of Imam Ali (a.s.), and recite the specific Dua of Mubahala, celebrating the clear victory of truth and the supreme virtue of the Prophet's household.
