Religious Islamic Muslim Husayn Black Flag

Husayn ibn Ali

Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (10 January AD 626 – 10 October 680) was a grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib (the fourth caliph of Sunni Muslims and the first imam of Shia Muslims) and Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah. He is an important figure in Islam as he was a member of the Household of Muhammad (Ahl al-Bayt) and the People of the Cloak (Ahl al-Kisā’), as well as the third Shia Imam.Husayn and his brother Hasan were reportedly the last male descendants of Muhammad living during his lifetime and remaining after his death.He said “Every mother’s children are associated with their father except for the children of Fatimah for I am their father and lineage.” Thus, the descendants of Fatimah are the descendants of Muhammad, and are part of his family.
