Eid Mubarak!
Eid az-Zahra is so called because it is noted in the traditions as a happy day for the daughter of the Holy Prophet, Bibi Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her), for it would mark an end to the period of mourning over her son Hussain and his companions after the tragedy of Karbala. On this date, Umar ibn Sa’ad, who commanded the army against Imam Hussain in Karbala, was executed for his crimes by the order of Mukhtar. It is said that it is the first date after enduring the tragedy of Karbala that Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him) smiled, and that it was a tradition of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) to mark this day as a great Eid.
This date is important for another reason as well; it is the date that begins the Imamate of our Living Imam, Imam Muhammad ibn Hasan al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance). We mourn the passing of his father on the previous date, which marks an end to the period of mourning often collectively called “Muharram”, even though it includes dates spreading through the lunar months of Muharram, Safar, and Rabi al-Awwal. Eid az-Zahra marks an end of mourning and a beginning of happiness for the coming of our Imam, who will bring justice where it had been denied to his ancestors.
