"Abdication of Imam Hasan (a.s.)", Lecture 1/2
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi

March 18, 2024
#Imam_Hasan

Immediately after the assasination and martyrdom of Imam Ali (a.s.) in Ramadan 40AH (Jan. 661AD) his son and the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.) Imam Hasan (a.s.) was chosen by the people of Kufa and with the support of the people of Hijaz (Mecca and Medina), Yemen and Basra as the next Caliph of the Islamic world. Only opposition came from Muawiya son of Abu Sufyan the archenemy of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.) who was in control of Syria and Egypt.

Imam Hasan's reign was brief and ended in Aug. 661AD with his abdication in favor of Muawiya in accordance with their peace treaty.

His abdication is one of the most important events in the history of early Islam with important theological implications for both shia and sunni. As the well known sunni Egyptian scholar Jalaluddin Suyuti has put it Hasan (a.s ) was the last of the rightly guided caliphs and after him with Muawiya and Umayyads the caliphate changed to kingship.

In the first lecture of these two lecture series we looked briefly to the political and social conditions at the time Imam Hasan was chosen as the caliph and the events after that which lead him to accept the peace proposal by Muawiya, including the details of two of the letters which was exchanged between the them.

"Abdication of Imam Hasan (a.s.)", Lecture 2/2
speaker: Dr. Farhad Ghoddoussi

March 25, 2024
#Imam_Hasan

In the second lecture of these two lecture series we discussed in more details the events which during Imam Hasan's military march and campaign against Muawiya led him to the decision to accept Muawiya's peace proposal and abdicating himself. Among these events were mutiny by his army, plundering his tent, tearing his clothes from his shoulder and later failed assassination attempt by a Kharijite which injured Imam and defections from the 12000 man vanguard of Imam's army to the Muawiya's side.

In continuation we also discussed in more details the articles of the peace treaty between Imam Hassan and Muawiyah and tried to clarify some confusions regarding the contents of the peace treaty.
Lectures presented during this year month of Ramadan at MIT, dedicated to Imam Hasan al-Mojtaba, peace be upon him.👆
