Today, the 1st of the month of Zil-Hijjah is the auspicious anniversary of the blessed marriage of the noblest-ever pair. It is the day on which in the year 2 AH, Prophet Mohammad (Blessings of God upon him and his progeny) solemnized the nuptials of his Immaculate Daughter, Hazrat Fatema Zahra (Peace upon her) with his dear cousin, the Impeccable Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (PBUH).

The union of this Infallible Couple laid the foundations of the Fabulous Family, whose fruits were four immortal children – two peerless sons and two equally virtuous daughters – Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain, and Hazrat Zainab and Hazrat Omm Kolsoum (Peace upon them).
