Hazrat Abbas ibn Ali (a.s.)

The short life

History of Hazrat Abbas (A.S.)

Hazrat Abbas was born at Medina on 4th Shabaan 26 A.H.(645 A.D.). When the news of his birth reached Hazrat Ali, he prostrated himself on the ground as a token of his humble thanks to God. Imam Hussain took the baby in his arms and recited the Azan and Eqamat (Calls for Prayers) in his right and left ears respectively. Then the new born baby opened his eyes to see the beloved face of Imam Hussain. On the seventh day of his birth the ceremony of Aqeeqa (which is one of the emphasised Sunnats) was performed and Hazrat Ali named the child 'Abbas'.

A similar incident took place at the time of the birth of Hazrat Ali. He only opened his eyes when the Holy Prophet took him in his arms. Name: al-Abbas (a.s.) Title: Alamdar-e-lashkar-e-Hussain (as.), Qamar bani Hashim Agnomen: Abul Fazl Father: Imam Ali Amir al-Muminin (a.s.) Mother: Fatima bint-e-Huzzam ibn-e-Khalid (a.s.) Birth: 4th Shabaan 26 AH. Death: Martyred in Karbala (Iraq) at the age of 36, on Friday, 10th Muharram 61 AH and buried there.

Wise Sayings of Hazrat Ali

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others.

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

No relationship is stronger than the relationship that exists between man and God

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

A little that is earned because of honest labor is better than a larger amount gained through dishonest means.

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

That knowledge is superficial which is merely on the tongue. That knowledge is real which demonstrates itself in your practice.

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

Patience is to faith, what head is to the body. When patience goes, faith goes, when head goes, the body goes.

Hazrat Ali(A.S.)

Knowledge and practice are twins, and both go together. There is no knowledge without practice, and no practice without knowledge.
