Cultural Activities of Imam Hassan (AS)An Attempt to Neutralize Mu'awiyah’s Actions

The Prophet’s mission in the Arabian Peninsula was itself the largest scientific movement that continued in the era of Shiite Imams according to the circumstances. Imam Hassan (AS) took over Imamate when Mu'awiyah, with the support of the aristocratic system, had wide possibilities and decided to destroy Islamic principles and values. According to the circumstances, the Imam (AS) pursued the policy of stabilization and control of the situation in terms of accepting peace. Concluding the peace treaty with Imam Hassan (AS), Mu'awiyah launched attacks to destroy this movement; he tried to eliminate the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), encourage forgers of hadith, and kill the followers of the Imams (AS). Regarding the scientific movement, the Imam (AS) undertook some actions such as concluding a peace treaty with Mu'awiyah, relying on the Holy Qur’an and gaining knowledge, introducing the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the Hajj, and using this opportunity to express hatred and disgust with the Umayyad ruling. This study seeks to answer the question that what Imam Hassan (AS) did against Mu'awiyah’s anti-religious policies? To answer this question, it should be bear in mind that the Imam’s peace treaty with Mu'awiyah and its cultural dimensions, planning according to the circumstances, the value of the tradition from the Imam’s point of view, the Imam’s practical life, relying on the Holy Qur’an, and using the Hajj tradition are among Imam Hassan’s cultural activities against Mu'awiyah’s actions.
