AAMAL OF THE MONTH OF RABI AL SAANI & JAMADI AL ULA

Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned a supplicatory prayer that is exclusively said at the beginning of these three months.

10th RABI AL SAANI

Shaykh al-Mufid has mentioned that on the tenth of Rabi’ al Saani, AH 232, Imam al-Hasan al-’Askari(a.s.) was born. It is thus a holy day on which it is recommended to observe fasting as thanks to Almighty Allah for this splendid favor.

13TH, 14TH, AND 15TH OF JUMADI AL ULA

It is proper to visit Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’(a.s.) and to hold consolation ceremonies on these three days, for it has been narrated that she lived after her father only seventy-five days. Accordingly, she must have departed life on one of these three days because the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) departed life on the twenty-eighth of Safar.

On the fifteenth of Jumadi al Ula, AH 36, Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen(a.s.) conquered the city of al-Basrah. Also, Imam Zayn al-’Abidin(a.s.) was born on this day; therefore, it is proper to visit both the Imams (a.s.) on this day.
