His mother was the grand daughter of Mohammad Ibn-e-Abu Bakr, who was
one of the friends of Ali (A.S.). Imam Ali (A.S.) repeatedly said about
him that, "Mohammad is my spiritual and moral son." Asma Bint-e-Amais
was the mother of Mohammad Bin Abu Bakr, and she was considered to be a
pious woman. She was continuously in the service of Hazrat Zahra (S.A.)
and took pride in it.

A Brief History of the Prophet's Life


LINEAGE
The oldest and noblest tribe in the whole of Arabia was Banu Hashim.
They were the descendants of Ibrahim through his son Isma'il. The Arabs
respected and loved them for their goodness, knowledge, and bravery.

'ABD AL-MUTTALIB
'Abd al-Muttalib was the chieftain of Banu Hashim and he was also the
Guardian of the Ka'bah. Among his ten sons, 'Abdullah was the father of
the Holy Prophet.

MUHAMMAD
In Mecca, a baby boy named Muhammad was born on 17th Rabi' al-Awwal,
570 AD. His father 'Abdullah, son of 'Abd al-Muttalib, died before he was
born and when he was six, he lost his loving mother Aminah bint Wahab.
His Grandfather, 'Abd al-Muttalib, took the responsibility of bringing
up the orphan. At the age of ten, he was berefted of his venerable
grandfather. On his deathbed, he appointed his son Abu Talib as the
guardian of Muhammad. As a gentle, soft spoken, tall and handsome boy,
Muhammad, accompanied the trading caravans of Abu Talib, across the deserts,
giving him deep insight into nature and man.

KHADIJAH (S.A)
The wealthy noble widowed lady Khadijah, in looking for a manager for
her rich merchantile caravans, selected Muhammad (SW) as her manager.
The able and fair dealing Muhammad (SW) was a tremendous success.
Khadijah already an admirer of Muhammad (SW), made him an offer of marriage.
Muhammad (SW) was twenty five and Khadijah forty. In spite of this
disparity in age, the marriage proved to be a very happy one.

THE PROPHET
Lover of nature and quite worrried about human sufferings, Muhammad
(SW) often retreated to Mount Hira' for meditation. One night - Laylat
al-Qadr (the Night of Majesty) - a voice addressing him, commanded "Recite
in the name of thy Lord." Deeply excited by the strange phenomena of
the Divine Visitation, Muhammad (SW) hurried home to his wife, Khadijah,
who listened to him attentively and said that "I bear witness that you
are the Apostle of God." After an interval, the voice from heaven spoke
again "O thou shrouded in thy mantle, arise, and warn, and magnify thy
Lord." This was a signal for him to start preaching the gospel of truth
of One God. In the beginning Muhammad (SW) invited only those near him,
to accept the new Faith. The first to embrace Islam among women was
Khadijah and among men Ali (AS). Soon after, Zayd ibn al-Harithah became a
convert to the new Faith. For three long years, he laboured quietly to
wean his people from the worship of idols and drew only
thirty followers. Muhammad (SW) then decided to appeal publicly to the
Quraysh to give up idol worship and embrace Islam. The new Faith, is
simple without complications, practical, and useful for everyday life. It
commands to believe and do good, to keep up prayer and to pay the poor
tax (alms). Almost ten years of hard work and preaching, in spite of
all persecution, produced over a hundred followers, physical cruelties
and social boycott made life unbearable in Mecca. The Holy Prophet of
Islam advised his followers, to seek refuge in the to seek refuge in the
neighbouring country of Ethiopia. Eighty eight men and eighteen women
sailed to the hospitable shores of the Negus, under the leadership of
Ja'far at-Tayyar (brother of 'Ali) and the cousin of the Holy Prophet.
several times the chieftains came to Abu Talib saying, "We respect your
age and rank, but we have no further patience with your nephew. Stop him
or we shall fight you." Abu Talib asked Muhammad for his
decision. With tears in his eyes, the Apostle firmly replied, "O my
uncle! If they place the sun on my right hand and the moon on my left, to
force me to renounce my mission, I will not desist until God manifests
His cause or I perish in the attempt."

TRAGEDIES
In a period of troubles, trials and tribulations two major tragedies
afflicted Muhammad. First the venerable guardian uncle Abu Talib died and
shortly afterwards his noble wife Khadijah died, leaving behind her
daughter Fatimah (peace be on her) - the only child she had from the Holy
Prophet - the daughter who looked after her father so much so that the
prophet called her Umm Abiha (the mother of her father).

MUSLIM ERA
With the death of the old patriarch Abu Talib, the Meccans planned to
assassinate the prophet. Under Divine guidance, he asked 'Ali to sleep
in his bed and Muhammad put his green garment on 'Ali. While the
murderes mistook 'Ali for muhammad, the Holy Prophet of Islam escaped to
Medina. The Muslim era of Hijrah (Emigration) is named after this incident
and dated from 17th Rabi' al-Awwwal, 622 AD. From the time he came to
Medina, he was the grandest figure upon whom the light of history has
ever shone. We shall now see him as the King of men, the ruler of human
hearts, chief law-giver and supreme judge.The Preacher who went without
bread, was mightier than the mightiest sovereigns of the earth. No
emperor with his tiaras was obeyed, as this man in a cloak of his own
clothing. He laid the foundation of the Muslim commonwealth and drew up a
charter which has been acknowledged as the work of highest statemanship, a
master-mind not only of his age, but of all ages. Unlike the
Arabs, the Prophet, had never wielded a weapon, but now he was forced
to defend Islam by force of arms. Commencing from the battle of Badr, a
series of eighty battles had to be fought, which the infant commmunity
defended successfully.

UHUD
Next year, Abu Sufyan, the famous long-lived enemy of Islam, again
attacked the Muslims at Uhud. Hamzah, the first flag-bearer of Islam and
uncle of the Prophet, was killed in action. In spite of strict
instructions from the Prophet, a few Muslim soldiers deserted their post, when
victory was in sight. This changed the course of the battle. Khalid ibn
al-Walid attacked the Prophet and the grave situation was saved by the
timely arrival of 'Ali. The enemies ran away and the issue was decided.
Muhammad was deeply grieved at the death of Hamzah.

HUDAYBIYYAH
The Muslims had been in self exile for six years and began to feel a
keen yearning for their homeland, Mecca. The Prophet desired to perform a
pilgrimage to Ka'bah. When he forsook his home town he was weak, but
when
he wanted to return, he was strong. He did not use his strength to
force an entry into the sacred city. Finding the Quraysh hostile, Muhammad
entered into a treaty Known as the Peace of Hudaybiyyah, appearing not
very advantageous to the Muslims, but which revealed the Islamic
character of moderation and magnanimity. For the strong to excercise
restraint and toleration is true courage. Having reached upto the door of their
birth place with hearts over-flowing with impatient longing to enter
it, the Muslims retraced their steps peacefully to Medina, under the
terms of the treaty, which allowed them to perform the pilgrimage next
year.

MECCA
In The 8th year AH, the idolators violated the peace of Hudaybiyyah by
attacking the Muslims. The enemies were defeated and Mecca was
conquered. The Prophet who fled from Mecca as a fugitive, now returned home as
a mighty conqueror. The Rahmatun lil 'Alamin (mercy unto all beings,
i.e., the Prophet) entered the city with his head bowed low in
thankfulness to the Almighty (Allah) and ordered a general amnesty, instead of
the mass massacre of those who persecuted him and his followers.

WIVES
A great number of Muslim soldiers were killed in battles at Badr, Uhud,
Khaybar, Hunayn and other places, leaving behind young wives and
children. The serious problem of taking care of the widows and orphans,
threatened to break up the moral fabric of the Muslim Society. Muhammad
decided to marry these widows and set an example for his followers to do
likewise.

LAST PILGRIMAGE
Under the Divine intuition of his approaching end, Muhammad prepared to
make the farewell pilgrimage to Mecca. Before completing all the
ceremonies of Hajj, he addressed a huge multitude from the top of mount
'Arafat on 8th Dhi al-hijjah, 11 AH, in words which shall ever ring and live
in the atmosphere. After finishing the hajj the Holy Prophet started
for Medina. On his way, at Ghadir Khumm the Voice from Heaven cried: "O
Apostle! deliver what has been revealed to you from your Lord; and if
you do it not, then you have not delivered His message and Allah will
protect you from the people, surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving
people. (5:67) Muhammad immediately ordered Bilal to recall the Muslims,
who had gone ahead, who were behind and who were proceeding to their
homes at the junction, to assemble. The famous Sunni mutakallim and
commentator, Fakhr ad-Din ar-Razi in his At-Tafsir al-Kabir, vol. 12, pp.
49-50, writes that the Prophet took 'Ali by the hand and said:
"Whoever whose mawla (master) I am, 'Ali is his master. O Allah! Love
him who loves 'Ali, and be the enemy of the enemy of 'Ali; help him who
helps 'Ali, and forsake him who forsakes 'Ali."

DEATH
On Muhammad's return to Medina, he got busy settling the organization
of the provinces and the tribes which had adopted Islam. His strength
rapidly failed and the poison (administered at Khaybar by a Jewess) took
its deadly toll. So ended the life dedicated to the service of God and
humanity from first to last, on 28th Safar, 11 AH. The humble Preacher
had risen to be the ruler of Arabia. The Prophet of Islam not only
inspired reverence, but love owing to his humility, nobility, purity,
austerity, refinement and devotion to duty. The Master inspired all who came
into contact with him. He shared his scanty food; he began his meals in
the Name of Allah and finished them uttering thanks; he loved the poor
and respected them; he would visit the sick and comfort the heart
broken; he treated his bitterest enemies with clemency and forbearance, but
the offenders against society were administered justice; his
intellectual mind was remarkably progressive and he said that man could
not exist without contant efforts. There is no god but One God and
Muhammad is the Apostle of God, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him
and his descendants

HAZRAT IMAM JAFAR-AS-SADIQ(A.S)
HZ



Name: Ja'far
Title: As-Sadiq
Designation: 6th Imam
Kunyat: Abu Abdullah, Abu Musa
Father: Muhammad Ibne Ali
Mother: Umm-e-Farwa Binte-Qasim
Born: 17th of Rabi'a 1 83AH(702AD)
Died: 25th Shawwal 148AH (765AD)
Martyred: Poisoned by Mansur
Buried: Cemetery of Jannatul Baqi
Lived: 65 years

Birth
The sun of the existence of Imam Sadiq (A.S.) arose from the lap of
his mother Ome-Farwah on the 17th of Rabiul Awal, 83rd year Hijrah, in
the city of Madina. His father Imam Mohammad Baqir (A.S.) was much happy
and pleased by the birth of his son.
His mother was the grand daughter of Mohammad Ibn-e-Abu Bakr, who was
one of the friends of Ali (A.S.). Imam Ali (A.S.) repeatedly said about
him that, "Mohammad is my spiritual and moral son." Asma Bint-e-Amais
was the mother of Mohammad Bin Abu Bakr, and she was considered to be a
pious woman. She was continuously in the service of Hazrat Zahra (S.A.)
and took pride in it.
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said about her mother, "My mother was one of the
pious, faithful and devoted women." Imam Sadiq (A.S.) was 15 years of age
when his grandfather Imam Sajjad (A.S.) was martyred and 34 years old
when his father Imam Baqir (A.S.) was martyred. Consequent upon the
martyrdom of Imam Hussain (A.S.) the government of Bani Omaiyd was shaken
which turned the people into their enemy and pessimist about them. This
opened the avenue for the formation of Bani Abbasade government. The
gap in between these two powers opened the way for the propagation of
Shia ideology and school of thought. Imam Jaffer-e-Sadiq (A.S.) could,
through a learning movement, propagate the learning's of Islam in such a
way to extend and make it reach all the people in the World.
The Characteristic distinctions of Imam
We all know that the conduct of men is the reflection of their inner
character and everyone can be recognized by his conduct.
There are only a very few people who do not spill out their conduct
and whatever they have in their interior and do not exhibit it. Whatever
they have in their hearts kindles the exterior of the electric lamp
like an electric switch.
Whole of the life of Imam Sadiq (A.S.), like the other Imams (A.S.),
was the enlightened lesson of the real and right Islam. He himself was
considered to be the example and specimen of the Islamic ethic, moral
and conduct. You cannot find a father and a son among all the people, of
all the tribes who may resemble each other from all the angles of
ideas, thoughts, character and conduct. But the family of the Prophet of
Islam (P.B.U.H.) and his successors all were on the same line and
performed their heavenly duty with one aim, one ideology, and did not have any
kind of difference in speech, character and ethical conduct. About the
ethical value and virtue of Imam Sadiq (A.S.) it is sufficient that out
of four thousands of his students even a single one did not object or
criticize upon the moral character and conduct of Imam (A.S.), and did
not find a weak point in it.
He was a practical example and specimen for the Muslims with respect
to eating, relaxing and resting, walking, speaking, and conducts with
others.
He had the same social conduct with his friends as he had with his
children.
The Piety and Devotedness of Imam (A.S.)
The piety and abstemiousness is the standard of the man's value.
Qur'an, considers all the people as equal, except for those who are
decorated with the ornament of piety.
Malik bin Ans says, "Imam Sadiq (A.S.) was always busy praying to God
and considered to be one of the great ascetic and devoted ones."
Abdul Ala says: On a hot day of summer I saw Imam Sadiq (A.S.) on one
of the roads of Madina while he was going for a job. I said, "May I lay
my life for you, why have you put yourself into inconvenience in such a
hot weather, with all the faith upon God and association with the
Prophet (P.B.U.H.)?"
He said, "I have come out for the job and to earn my livelihood, so
that I must not remain needy towards others."
Another one says, "I saw Imam Sadiq (A.S.) wearing rough dress and he
was working in a garden like an ordinary labor and perspiring all
over." I said to him "Oh, the son of Prophet (P.B.U.H.) allow me to work for
you."
He said, "I love working for my livelihood and to taste the hardship
of the burning heat of the sun like others."
When Imam went out of the house he used to put on new, clean,
valuable and costly dress and climb up a horse.
A group of ignorant people thought this act negated the piety and
asceticism.
Therefore, they would come and object and when they heard the
response they would be ashamed.
The Imam's (A.S.) talk with a deceitful pious looking man
One day a pious looking forgoer named Sufian stopped Imam Sadiq
(A.S.) and said, "You are from the family of Prophet (P.B.U.H.) how is it
that you put on such a precious dress?"
Imam said, "Oh Sufian, look there is a rough shirt underneath this
dress and I have put on this shirt over it so that those whose minds are
in their eyes do not think that I am a poor needy and distressed one
but you have put on a soft dress underneath this rough dress, so that you
may deceive others that you are a devoted ascetic. Oh Sufian! Do not be
so narrow minded."
The next day, Sufian saw that Imam was working in an agricultural
field besides the labors and was sweating. He went ahead and said, "I am
surprised about you. Why are you so greedy about the world and
perspiring in this old age and working?"
Imam (A.S.) said, "How happy I would be if I meet the God (die) in
this condition that I am working hard and getting the expenditure of life
by putting myself in inconvenience and I do not get myself loaded upon
others."
What a miserable people are those who feed themselves upon the income
of others and reach the seat of power through them and instead of
service and love think all are indebted to them and are always demanding
from others. Their outer form is obviously decorated and deceiving, like
that of Sufian, but inwardly they are stinking and wicked.
Imam (A.S.) and the problem of Justified Profit
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) gave one thousand dinnars to one of his friends
"Musadif" so that he may do some business for him and achieve some profit
and that be a help and assistance for his life.
'Musadif' bought some material by that money and moved towards Egypt
along with some traders. They happened to come across a caravan, which
was returning from there, in the vicinity of the city.
He enquired about the materials, which he possessed for trade, so
that he may get informed about the condition of it. The business item was
one of those required by the people. There was a scarcity of it in the
city. They explained to him that due to its scarcity many buyers and
purchaser would be available. Therefore, he could sell his item for a
high price.
The businessman became very happy and he settled it with his
companions that the item be sold at double the price and they must not sell it
lesser than that. After they arrived into the city they did the sine.
As a result that man made a profit of one thousand dinnars.
He returned to Madina and very happily and merrily moved towards the
house of the Imam (A.S.). When he reached before the Imam he put two
sacks of two thousand Dinnars before him and said, "One sack is your
money and the other one is the profit of the deal. Imam said, "How did you
get such a plenty of profit?" The businessman described all the matter
before him. Suddenly, the face of Imam reflected anger and he said, "I
take refuge of God you people agree upon the loss of a group of Muslims
so that you may sell your items for double the amount of cost?"
Imam picked up the money, which he had given and returned the other
sack to that man saying, "I do not need the profit which is obtained by
injustice. Oh man! Be aware that it is very difficult to achieve money
from Halal, (right and just means).
Imam (A.S.) forbearance and fortitude
The incidents and difficulties, which come into human life can,
measure and find out the extent of his energy and faith. The difficulties,
which cropped up in the life of Imam Sadiq (A.S.) and the patience and
forbearance, which, he showed towards them, illuminated his personality
and worth. Howsoever they (enemies) abused and teased him he showed
patience and forbearance and admonished them. He never cursed or used foul
language about them.
The Friendship, which Terminated
A man would always accompany Imam Sadiq (A.S.) and he loved him very
much and always cherished his memory. One day, they went together to
the bazaar of cobblers. That man had a black slave who was moving behind
him. The slave was busy watching the shops and got away from his
master. The friend of Imam was continuously looking at his back and he did
not find the slave. He got very annoyed and enraged. Suddenly he saw the
slave and said, "your mother so and do, where were you?"
As soon as he uttered this sentence Imam Sadiq (A.S.) raised his hand
with surprise and struck it hard upon his forehead and said, "you abuse
his mother?" I thought you were a pious man and I was a friend of yours
for a long time and I talked about you in the assembly of friends and
companions. It is good that I came to know that you are not a good
friend. Hurry, get away from me.
Learning the style of Propaganda from Imam (A.S.)
Shakrani was a young man who performed bad deeds stealthily. Since
his grandfather was a slave freed by the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), therefore,
people thought him to be associated to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). One day
he learnt that "Mansur" was distributing the wealth of Bait-ul-mal. He
went there to seek some help. Since, he did not know anyone there he
could not get a thing. During this span of time he happened to sight Imam
Sadiq (A.S.). He went rushing towards him and requested him to become a
medium for him and get him a share from the caliph. Imam (A.S.)
accepted his request, and went to get his share and brought it. When Imam
(A.S.) gave him the money he said to him "A good deed is good from everyone
but it is better to occur from you, who is associated to us. And a bad
act is bad from every one, but it is worse from you who is associated
with us."
Imam (A.S.) said it and went. Shakrani getting hold of the money
started pondering deep and knew that Imam (A.S.) had come to know about his
bad acts and by these words he meant to stop him from it. The wicked
man got very ashamed by this conduct of Imam (A.S.) and decided to
abandon his misdeeds and so he did.
Imam attends the Oppressed and Distressed
1. One of the friends of Imam named Moally Bin Khunais says, "On a
rainy and dark night I saw that Imam Sadiq (A.S.) was carrying a heavy
sack on his back in the streets of Madina. I followed him to find out as
to where he was heading. He threw a quantity of bread on earth and I
collected it and went towards Imam (A.S.) and saluted him and gave that
to him. Imam (A.S.) took that kept it in the sack, and continued walking
on. Not very long after that, he reached a point where a group of
oppressed men were sleeping. He put two breads underneath the head of each
one and turned back I asked the Imam (A.S.) "were they your shias?" He
said, "No, if they were our shias I would have attended them better than
that."
2. Hisham Bin Salem another friend of Imam says, "The Imam had a
peculiar manner of action that he picked up food in the dark nights and
carried it to the doors of the houses of the oppressed ones, delivered it
to them and did not let himself be recognized.
Long times passed and Imam passed away. Since his help was
discontinued, the poor and afflicted ones got to know that the unknown man who
came in the night and helped them was Imam Sadiq (A.S.) for this reason
they became very sad and miserable.
Imam Struggles against hoarding
One of the years, a shortage of wheat took place in Madina. A
bewilderment and anxiety overtook the people. Anyone who had not stored wheat
for a years use would try hard to provide and stock it.
At the same time, the poor have-nots were forced to buy there every
day-needed wheat from the market.
One day Imam Sadiq (A.S.) asked his servant "Motab," "Do we have
wheat in the house this year? Motab replied, "Yes we have got wheat to meet
the requirement of a few months."
Imam said, "Take that to the market and surrender it to the people
and sell it."
Motab said, "Oh my Lord! Wheat is scarce in Madina, if I sell it
purchasing wheat after that will be difficult and we will face hardship and
will be forced to buy it on a higher cost."
Imam said, "Do what I have said, hereafter do purchase the bread of
the house like the have-nots of Madina, do each day. Because the bread
of my house should not have any difference with that of the masses
although you may buy it on a higher rate."
The greedy afflicted and the thankful poor
One of the friends of Imam says, we were busy taking grapes in Mina
along with the Imam (A.S.). An afflicted one come and asked for help.
Imam gave him a bunch of grapes. The man did not take that and demanded
money. Imam said, "God may provide you that." The afflicted man walked a
few steps and turned back and requested the Imam (A.S.) to give him the
grapes. He said, "may God provide you that" and the man went back.
At the same time another poor man came and asked the Imam for help.
He gave him a few grape stones. The man took them and thanked God. Imam
gave him a handful of grapes. The man took that and again thanked God,
for his boon. For the third time, Imam (A.S.) gave him twenty dirhams
and the fourth time, gave him his shirt. The man took all and went back
praying for Imam (A.S.).
I said to myself had this man continued on, Imam (A.S.) would have
given him all that he had.
Laying foundation of the Islamic University
Imam (A.S.) decided to lay the foundation of Islamic University in
Madina, so as to train students in different fields and branches of
knowledge. The gushing knowledge spring of Imam (A.S.) was so evident that
it attracted the researcher of knowledge from all the directions of the
world. Hundreds of knowledge thirsty youth from all over the world came
to Madina to join the teaching classes of Imam (A.S.). Imam (A.S.)
trained famous and well-known men in various fields of knowledge the names
of some of them are as follows:
1. Zurara and Mohammad Bin Muslim in jurisprudence.
2. Hisham and Momin ut Taq in beliefs and kalam (discourse).
3. Muffazil and Safwan in Gnosticism and Islamic learning.
4. Jabbir Bin Hayyan in mathematics and sciences.
Many other glorious men each of whom became the founder of various
Islamic Learning's and arts so that for many years their books had been
translated and taught in Europe. Evidently, such a chance for the
propagation of Islamic learning's was not available in the age of Imam Ali
(A.S.). Because, the enemy continuously engaged him in internal battles
so that a constraint be put upon the propagation and dissemination of
Islamic knowledge and learning's and this situation prevailed till the
age of Imam Sajjad (A.S.).
From the age of Imam Mohammad Baqir (A.S.) the schools of Islamic
learning were founded and those reached the climax of their expansion in
the age of Imam Sadiq (A.S.). So far so, that in the university of Imam
Sadiq (A.S.) four thousand students were trained in various branches of
Islamic knowledge and learning's and they spread all over the world and
taught and trained the people.
Why Shiaism is named Jafri religion
For the sake of the propagation of the Shiite constitution in the
shadow of the knowledge, political sacrifices, and devotion, the Shiite
school was attributed to him and this religion was named as the Jafri
religion. We belong to the Jafri religion and take pride in this name. The
message of the true Islam of Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) can be sought in the
blood of Hussain (A.S.) and its explanation and description in the
teachings of Imam Sadiq (A.S.).
Jafri Islam is the same one, on the way of which Imam Ali (A.S.)
fought holy war (Jehad) and Imam Hassan (A.S.) made truce and Imam Hussain
(A.S.) gave his blood (life). Imam Sajjad (A.S.) put on the dress of
prisoner ship and Zainab (S.A.) became the messenger of the blood of
martyrs. The Prophet's daughter Zahra (S.A.) raised her voice in the mosque
of her father over the cruelties and tyranny, which were committed on
her.
If Islam be the one in which the rulers seated themselves upon
snatched usurped chairs and enrage and unpleased Zahra (S.A.) and made Imam
Ali (A.S.) sit at home, we admit that we will not submit to such Islam.
From the logical point of view of the informed, faithful and scholars
devoted to the family of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), the Islam wherein the
family of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) be suspended will be the same Islam
whose custodians were the rulers like Muawiyah, Yazeed and Muttawakils.
The red history of Shiaism of Imam Ali (A.S.) proved that whosoever
accepted the Islam minus the family of Imam Ali (A.S.) and struggled on
its way did reach no where and was finally rendered despicable and
helpless and at last turned into the tool of the hands of imperialists of
the history.
