Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja'far (Arabic: أبي جعفر محمد بن علي الهادي بن محمد بن علي بن موسى بن جعفر) was the son of Ali al-Hadi and the brother of Hasan al-Askari, the 10th and 11th Twelver Shia Imams, respectively. His Tomb was constructed between Samarra and Kazmeen that is situated about 93 kilometers north of Baghdad in Balad.[1] Syed Muhammad Gaisu Daraaz was his grandson in 7th generation born in 1320/21 AD.[2]

The section of the Shia believed that the Awaited Imam Mahdi was Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hadi, who was put into occultation (Ghaybah) by the rule of Allah as the Abbasids wanted him killed in intent to remove the Imamat from existence, he reappeared a few times for short period of times and went back in to the large occultation (Ghaybah al-Kubrā).

Attack on Shrine[]

On July 7, 2016, at least 40 people were killed and over 74 injured after a group of attackers stormed the Mausoleum. The attackers included suicide car bombers, suicide bombers on foot, and several gunmen. They attacked Shi'ite pilgrims celebrating Eid al-Fitr.[3][4]

In the past, there was bombing and sectarian bloodshed in Samarra, where Imam Ali al-Hadi and eleventh Imam of Twelver Hassan al-Askari, the father and brother of Muhammad bin Ali al-Hadi are buried.[5]
