                                                             Spiritual Journey  247
                     Hussein     was     born    on     10    October     CE
                  625. However, Shia Hadith state that He was born AH
                  3. Hussein  and  his  brother  Hasan  were  the  last

                  descendants of Mohamed living during his lifetime and
                  remaining after his death. There are many accounts of
                  his love for them which refer to them together.
                     Is  reported  to  have  said  that "Who  loves  me  and
                  loves these two, their father and their mother, will be
                  with me at my place on the Day of Resurrection. And
                  that "Hussein is of me and I am of him.
                     Allah  loves  those  who  love  Hussain.  Hussein  is  a
                  grandson among grandsons. A narration declares them
                  the "Masters of the Youth of Paradise"; this has been
                  particularly important for the Shia who have used it in
                  support  of  the  right  of  Muhammad's  descendants  to
                  succeed him.
                     We will get closer to recognize the honorable family
                  of  Imam  Hussein  may  Allah  be  pleased  with  him
                  (Master of youth of the people of Paradise), who is his
                  father,  his  mother,  his  brother,  his  wives  and  his
                  children?
                     Imam Ali bin Abi Talib:
                     He was born to parents ,Abu Talib and Fatimah bint
                  Asad, Ali  is  the  only  person  to  be  born  in  the  sacred
                  sanctuary  of  the Kaaba  in Mecca,  the  holiest  place
                  in Islam, according to many classical Islamic sources,
                  especially Shia ones.
                     Ali  was  the  first  male  who  accepted Islam, and
                  according       to     some       authors      the     first
                  Muslim. After migrating  to  Medina,  he  married
                  Muhammad's daughter Fatimah.
