Events: Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (Fifteenth of Ramadhan, 3 AH - Seventh or Twenty-eighth of Safar, 50 AH) was the grandson of Muhammad, son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (final Rashidun Caliph and first ShiAh Imam) and Fatimah Zahra (daughter of Muhammad). He is an important figure in Islam as he is a member of the Ahlul Bayt (the household of Muhammad) and Ahlul Kisa, as well as being a ShiAh Imam, and one of The Fourteen Infallibles of Twelvers.As a growing youth, Hasan saw the active role of his father, Ali ibn Abi Talib, in the battlefield defending Islam, as a preacher to a vast congregation of believers on the occasion of Hajj, and as a missionary of Islam to Yemen. After the death of his grandfather, Muhammad, he saw his father having retreated to a passive role in the matters of the state during the period of the first three caliphs. However, whenever he saw it necessary, Ali ibn Abi Talib never refrained from giving his opinion to the caliph of the time on matters of the practice of faith. He had also seen that the caliphs, in turn, respected Ali ibn Abi Talib for his overall knowledge, and consulted him on many occasions as the need arose. When the third caliph was murdered by a mob of agitated demonstrators in his palace in Madmah, and Ali ibn Abi Talib was elected to lead the Muslim nation, Hasan ibn Ali took active part in assisting his father in many ways. He went to Kufa and successfully raised the first army of believers against the dissenting Muslims. He participated actively in the battlefields of Basra, Siffin, and Nahrawan alongside his father, and demonstrated his skills as a soldier and as a leader. Before he died, Ali ibn Abi Talib appointed Hasan to lead the nation of believers and to be their Imam after him. The people also chose him to be their Caliph. Hasan played positive role in Khilafa
