Aga Syed Hassan also elaborated on various aspects of the life and character of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS), saying that the Imam made the ultimate sacrifice by relinquishing outward political authority in order to safeguard Islam and protect the Muslim community from a devastating internal conflict.
He said the Muslim Ummah at the time was deeply divided and had reached a situation where Muslims were prepared to shed one another’s blood. In such circumstances, Imam Hasan’s decision was guided by the larger interests of Islam, the preservation of the faith and the protection of Muslim unity.
Reflecting on the difficult phases of Imam Hasan’s life, Aga Syed Hassan said that the Imam remained steadfast on Islamic principles despite facing intense opposition and difficulties. He said Imam Hasan (AS) responded to the circumstances of his time with profound wisdom and foresight, while remaining firmly committed to the principles of Islam.
He emphasised that the peace agreement of Imam Hasan (AS) is not merely a historical episode but remains, for all time, a guiding principle for Muslim unity, fraternity, political wisdom and the preservation of the broader interests of the Islamic community.
