Celebrating the Birth of Imam Husayn (a.s.) 4 A.H. The blessed month of Shabaan is filled with happiness for the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). It is in this month that we commemorate the birth of four towering personalities (three of whom are Imams), the first being the grandson of the Prophet (or as the Quran refers to him, the son of the Prophet) – Imam Hussein ibne Ali (peace be upon him).Born on the 3rd of Shabaan in the forth year after the migration to Madina, Shaykh Abbas al-Qummi narrates that he was only 10 months and twenty days younger than his brother, Imam Hasan ibne Ali (peace be upon him)! These two Imams would later be known as the Chiefs of the Youths of Paradise, a title bestowed upon them by the Messenger of Allah and accepted by all Muslims.
