About Hasan al-Askari

Hasan al-Askari was a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the eleventh of the Twelve Imams, and father of Muhammad al-Mahdi. He was born in Medina in 844 and brought with his father, Ali al-Hadi, to the garrison town of Samarra in 848, where the Abbasid caliphs held them under close surveillance until their deaths, even though neither were politically active. After the death of al-Hadi in 868, the majority of his followers acknowledged his son, al-Askari, as the next Imam. Al-Askari's contact with Shia Muslims was restricted by the Abbasid caliphs, and he communicated with his followers through the network of representatives (Wokala). He died in Samarra in 873 at the age of about twenty-eight and was buried in the family home next to his father, which later developed into the Al-Askari Shrine, a holy site in Shia Islam.
