The last day of the month of Dhul Qa\u2019dah marks the martyrdom anniversary of Imam al-Jawad (peace be upon him). The holy grave of that Imam, next to that of his revered grandfather Imam al-Kazim (peace be upon him) in Kazimiyya, is the destination of pilgrimage for millions of the loyalists of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The martyrdom of Imam al-Jawad (peace be upon him) was carried out on the last day of the month of Dhul-Qa’dah in the year 220 AH in Baghdad on the order of Mo’tasim al-Abbasi, who was worried about the impact of the Imam on the people, by his wife Umm al-Fazl with the connivance of Ja’far son of Ma’mun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is mentioned in the hadith that the story of Imam al-Jawad with Umm al-Fazl, or Imam al-Hassan al-Mujtaba with Jo\u2019dah, and even the Holy Prophet with some of his wives, were a Divine destiny and a Divine decree, as a part of the trial for the Ummah, said Grand Ayatollah Shirazi on the reason why some of the Ma\u2019sumeen, peace be upon them, were afflicted with unworthy wives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to the famous narration of Imam al-Reza (peace be upon him) on the birth of Imam al-Jawad (peace be upon him), “This is a child no other child has been born more blessed than him for our Shiites”, Grand Ayatullah Shirazi explained: During the time of all the Imams, peace be upon them, there were differences, the most severe of these differences, which caused a number of Shiites to go astray, was the story of Waqifiyyah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His Eminence went on to say: The deviation of Waqifiyyah began with the martyrdom of Imam al-Kazem and the Imamate of Imam al-Reza. During this period, many Shiites chose to believe that Imam al-Kazem had not passed away, and therefore, Imam al-Reza is not an Imam. A large number of Shiites gravitated towards this belief because some of the great Shiite scholars at the time, such as Ali bin Abi Hamza al-Bata\u2019ini and Ziyad bin Marwan Qandi, joined the league of Waqifiyyah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the victory of Imam al-Jawad over this group, Grand Ayatollah Shirazi said: Imam al-Jawad was able to defeat the Waqifiyyah, and in the context of Shiism, Imam al-Jawad, peace be upon him, was the most blessed among the Imams, peace be upon him, because he was able to remove this grave deviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Supreme Marja also pointed to the difficult test of the Shiites in this period and said: It was a great Divine test that Imam al-Jawad assumed the position of Imamate at the age of seven or eight, and this was a hard test for the Shiites, and like the story of Ghadir, with all its clarity and fame, some people chose to oppose it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
