The very same year, in the month of Sha‘bān, Ḥaḍrat Fāṭimah(ra) was blessed with a second child, who was named Ḥusain by the Holy Prophet(sa). Ḥusain(ra) was just as dear to the Holy Prophet(sa) as was his brother Ḥasan(ra). At times, the Holy Prophet(sa) would refer to them as his two flowers.1 This is the same Imām Ḥusain (may Allāh be please with him) who met his Beloved Creator, after being cruelly martyred on the 10th of Muḥarram in 61 A.H., in the era of Yazīd bin Mu‘āwiyyah bin Abī Sufyān.2 To this day, in remembrance of his martyrdom, Shī‘ah people mourn and practice the custom of Ta‘ziyyah.3
