28th of lunar month of Safar reminds us passing away anniversary of the Holy Prophet of Islam Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa and Martyrdom of his grandson Imam Hassan al Mujtaba (peace be upon them).
Imam Khomeini, the contemporary leader of the contemporary Muslim world highlighted the pious character of Imam Hassan in great detail and frequently paid tributes to the elder grandson of prophet of Islam.
Imam Khomeini, the spiritual and religious leader of the Muslim world, invited the whole Islamic community to follow footsteps of the honorable prophet of Islam Hadrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) and his infallible successors.
The founder of the Islamic Republic used to issue special condolences messages on this occasion.
Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) elder grandson and 2ndinfallible heir, Imam Hassan al Mujtaba (PBUH), was martyred at the age of 47, as a result of a fatal dose of poison, given on the orders of the corrupt rulers of the times.
Imam Hassan was hailed along with his younger brother, Imam Hossein (peace be upon them), as "Leaders of the youth of paradise".
Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, used to urge all believers and faithful people to adopt as a role model the conduct of honorable prophet of Islam Hadrat Mohammad (peace be upon him) and his pure progeny.
The founder of the Islamic Republic underscored the role of Imam Hassan (PBUH) for the cause of Islam and efforts which were made by him for the unity of masses at that time.
On the same pattern, Imam Khomeini also followed footsteps of the holy prophet and coordinated the struggles of the Iranian people against the Shah’s despotic regime to advance the goals of Islam.
