Congratulation on the Birth of Imam Reza (pbuh)

Birth OF Imam Reza (A.S.)

Imam Reza (A.S), the Eighth Imam of the Shiite Muslims, was born there in Medina historians are not sure about. His birth day, month and year or they may know it completely but they don’t acknowledge-History has never been a good trustee-and His birth was declared in the years 148,151,153 and the daysx30x30x30x on Friday in Ramadan 19th (the ninth month of Arabic lunar year), in the half of Ramadan month, on Friday in Rajab 10 th (the seventh month of Arabic lunar year) and Zilgha’deh 11th (twelfth month of Arabic lunar year).But the very year 148 namely Imam Ja’far-e- Sadegh’s (AS) Martyrdom year is more certain than the above-mentioned years. This is certainly the year that the distinguished scholars such as Mofid, Kalimi, Kafa’mi, Shahid Sani-e-Tabarsi, Sadough, Ebn-e-Zohreh, Mas’oudi, Abo’l-Fada, Ebn-e-Athir, Ebn-e-Hojar, Ebn-e-Jouzi and the other scholars have approved as the Imam Reza’s (AS) birth year. But His Holy titles and nicknames have been remained in history’s mind-maze such shining words. His nickname is Abo’l-Hasan and His titles are Saber, Zakki, Vali, Fazel, Vafi, Seddigh, Razi, Serajo’llah, Nouro’l-Hoda, Ghorrato’l-Eino’l-Mo’menin, Kelidato’l-Mohedin, Kafo’l-Malek, Kafia’l-Khalgh, Rabbo’ssarir, and Ra’abo’l-Tadbir. And Reza (AS) is the most well-known title that we have known Imam by this during the history. Perhaps you want to know the reason of this title: “He was called ‘Reza’ because He was pleasant in the heavens and prophets and God and the Imams after Him were pleased with Him, upon the Earth. Also, it is said that: because all persons who agreed or disagreed with Him, both groups were pleased with Him and finally they have called Him “Reza” because Ma’moun became pleased with Him,too.” When you read His mother’s names, titles and sobriquets, you feel something inside them just like whatever is in Imam Reza’s (AS) titles: Ommo’l-Banin, Najmeh, Sakan, Toktam, Kheizaran, Tahereh, Shaghra’. Although according to a narration, 5 boys and one girl has been mentioned for Imam Reza (AS), but as Allameh Majlesi has told: Javad was regarded as the only Imam Reza’s child- a familiar name for us-…the only subject that has remained is Imam Reza’s martyrdom year that again history can’t help us about it properly and the possibilities are the years 202, 203 and 206 Anno Hejira. But most of scholars have considered the year 203 as His martyrdom year. Hence the age of Imam Reza (AS) was 55 years old at the time of martyrdom. He has spent 25 years of His lifetime with His father and He undertook the Shiite’s leadership for 20 years. The beginning of Imam Reza’s (AS) leadership is coincided with the final period of Harouno-e-Abbassi’s caliphate for 10 years.Five years later, His leadership is also coincided with Amin’s caliphate and finally a period of Ma’moun’s caliphate for 5 years as well as his dominance on Islamic territory of that period. …Ma’moun the very person, who martyred Imam with poison conspiratorially and Imam’s followers, buried His holy body in Tous (in Harouni’s Gheble-ye-Ghobbeh)x30x30x30x the dome of Hamid-ebne-Ghahtabe-ye-Taei and today His sepulcher's dust is the vitriol of the enamored people’s eyes.
