RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Mahmoud Madani offered his condolences on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq and said, “The activities of Imam al-Sadiq, such as being the driving force behind the political movements against the tyrants of his time, have often been overlooked.”
The rector of Qom’s al-Zahra University added, “Imam al-Sadiq didn’t have the conditions to uprising and according to the conditions of that time if he had risen, the uprisings would not have reached the desired final result like other uprisings. On the other hand, if the Islamic society was silent in the face of the tyrants, their violations of the rights of the people and the breaking of laws and oppression would spread.”
He stated that Imam al-Sadiq used a special method to promote religious knowledge and said, “Due to the interests of the Islamic ummah, the Imam didn’t enter the field of jihad and struggle directly, but he supported all the uprisings.”
Hujjat al-Islam Madani stated, “It’s narrated that Imam al-Sadiq declared that he will take responsibility for the family and children of anyone killed in jihad against the oppression of his era. He supported the Alid revolts and sometimes some of them paid little attention and gave little love to Imam al-Sadiq.”
His Eminence stated that Imam al-Sadiq stood against the deviant currents from the pulpit and said, “Imam al-Sadiq countered the doubts that threatened Islamic thought. A movement called atheism had spread and was so daring that a friendly gathering of atheists formed inside the Masjid al-Haram [Grand Mosque of Makkah] during the Hajj and the government didn’t deal with them.”
He added, “Imam al-Sadiq’s debates and discussions with the atheists are detailed, which shows that Imam was strong in his confrontations with the anti-religious, anti-God and anti-religion movements, and in my opinion, he was the driving force of the movement of Islamic thought. Imam al-Sadiq was a refuge for the society of that time who benefited from the love, kindness, kindness and care of Imam among Shi’ahs and non-Shi’ahs and even non-Muslims.”
Hujjat al-Islam Madani said, “It’s well-known that Imam al-Sadiq placed bread and food next to a group of sleeping people who were sleeping under a canopy on a rainy night and said, “Addressing the Imam, several companions said that these people don’t accept your Imamate. Imam al-Sadiq said that if these people were from our wilayah (guardianship), we would have a higher duty toward them.”
