Rawalpindi / Islamabad – March 4, 2026
The Leader of Shia Muslims in Pakistan, Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi, stated that the personality of the grandson of the Holy Prophet and the Master of the Youth of Paradise, Hasan ibn Ali (peace be upon him), clearly reflects the knowledge, patience, dignity, and generosity of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
He said that throughout his life, Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba established unparalleled traditions of peace, brotherhood, reconciliation, and love, which mirror the noble character of the Holy Prophet.
He added that the saying of Imam Hasan (AS), “Whoever becomes excessively attached to the world loses the fear of the Hereafter from his heart,” provides profound guidance for humanity.
He further noted that on the occasion of the blessed birth anniversary of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (15th of Ramadan), it is important to remember that he was the first son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) and Fatimah al‑Zahra (peace be upon her), and his birth brought immense joy to the Holy Prophet, his household, and their followers.
Imam Hasan is known by many titles, including: al-Sibt al-Akbar, al-Tayyib, al-Qaim, al-Hujjah, al-Taqi, al-Zaki, al-Mujtaba, and al-Zahid. The most famous among them is al-Mujtaba, and he is also widely known as Kareem Ahl al-Bayt (the Generous of the Prophet’s Household).
The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“Hasan and Husayn are Imams whether they stand or sit.”
He emphasized that the peace treaty of Imam Hasan holds great significance in Islamic history and provides lessons for Muslims to avoid division, conflict, and bloodshed. In extremely difficult circumstances, Imam Hasan chose reconciliation to protect the unity of the Muslim Ummah and preserve Islam, which remains a remarkable aspect of his character and leadership.
He concluded by stressing that in today’s challenging era—when Muslims face sectarianism, extremism, and moral crises—it is essential to promote reconciliation, tolerance, and unity. By setting aside secondary differences and gathering around common values, Muslims can strengthen Islam and achieve true unity.
