Qasim (RA) was the eldest son of the Prophet ﷺ, born before Prophethood. This is why the Prophet ﷺ was also called Abu’l-Qasim. Abdullah and Ibrahim were born later.

The Prophet ﷺ had three sons: Qasim, Abdullah (Tayyib/Tahir), and Ibrahim. All passed away in childhood. Some mistakenly add Hasan and Husayn, but they were his grandsons.

Hasan (RA) is buried in Jannat-ul-Baqi‘ cemetery in Madinah, along with many members of the Prophet’s family. Karbala is the site of Husayn’s (RA) martyrdom and burial. The others are unrelated.

Hasan (RA), elder grandson of the Prophet ﷺ, was given the name Shabbar in Hebrew tradition, meaning “handsome.” Husayn was called Shabbir. These names echoed the lineage of Harun’s sons.
