Résumé
-
En
In Iran, religious posters are commonly displayed in homes, workplaces and religious buildings. This poster shows a portrait of Imam Hassan, the Prophet Muhammad's eldest grandson. The majority of Iran's population are Shi'ia Muslims. Shi'ites believe that after the Prophet died in 632AD, his male descendents were the rightful leaders of the Muslim people, known as Imams. In this poster, Imam Hassan's lineage is asserted through such symbols as his green clothes; green is the colour of the Prophet's family.
