His Parents & Birth
===================
He was the only son of the eighth Imam Ali Riza (a.s.) The Prophet
(sawaw) had said:
"My father be sacrificed on the mother of the 9th Imam who will be a
pure and pious Nubian."
Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) had told one of his companions that his
daughter-in-law (Sabika) would be one of the most pious of women and
to give her his salaams. She came from the same tribe as the
Prophet's(sawaw) wife - Maria Kubtiya who bore the Prophet his son
Ibrahim (who died in infancy).
Imam Muhammad Taqi (a.s.) was born when his father was 45 years old.
Till then Imam Ali Riza (a.s.) had constantly been taunted that he had
no children. When the 9th Imam was born, a brother of Imam Ali
Riza(a.s.) was angry because he would lose out in inheriting the
Imam's property and in his jealousy spread a rumour that Imam Ali
Riza(a.s.) was not the father. He was eventually proved wrong by a
person who could tell parentage.
Childhood
=========
The 9th Imam was 5 years old when his father was called to Baghdad by
Mamun Rashid to be his 'heir apparent'. When Imam Ali Riza (a.s.) was
leaving he saw his son putting sand in his hair. He asked why and the
young Imam replied that this was what an orphan did. Imam Riza(a.s.)
was fully aware of the treacherous character of the ruling king and
was sure that he would not return to Medina. So before his departure
from Medina he declared his son Muhammad al-Jawad(a.s.) as his
successor , and imparted to him all his stores of Divine knowledge and
spiritual genius.
Imamate
=======
Imam Ali Riza(a.s.) was poisoned on 17th Safar 203 AH and with effect
from the same date Imam Muhammad al-Jawad(a.s.) was commissioned by
Allah to hold the responsibility of Imamate . At the tender age of
eight there was no apself chance or means of the young Imam reaching
great heights of knowledge and practical achievements . But after a
few days he is known not only to have debated with his contemporary
scholars on subjects pertaining to fiqh ( Islamic jurisprudence ) ,
hadith ( tradition ) , tafsir ( Qur'anic exegesis ) , ect . and
outwitted them , but also to exhort their admiration and
acknowledgment of his learning and superiority . Right from then the
world realized that he possessed Divine knowledge and that the
knowledge commanded by the Holy Imam was not acquired , but granted by
Allah.
Imam Mohammad Taqi al-Jawwad(a.s.) was entrusted with the
responsibilities of Imamate in an apparently tender age of 8 years. He
is the Imam with the smallest age i.e. only 25 years before he was
martyred at the hands of Moatasim Abbasi in the year 220 A.H. Imam
Jawwad(a.s.) showed immense knowledge and maturity during his short
imamat time of 17 years so much so that at some sessions he answered
more than 30 thousand questions within 3 days time.
Once the most learned scholar of the court of Mamoon named Yahya bin
Aksam was prepared for a debate with Imam Jawwad(a.s.) to show that he
is still in his infancy and does not have divine knowledge.
Imam(a.s.) went to the court to take up the debate.
Yahya took up one of the most difficult matters in Islamic Shariah and
asked Imam(a.s.) "What will be the Kaffara for a person who hunts
while in the state of Ahraam?". Imam(a.s.) before replying said
"Your question is incomplete. First you should complete your question.
There could be 22 different situations:
(1) Hunting was done within or outside the limits of Haram?
(2) The hunter was aware of this shariah issue or not?
(3) Hunting was done intentionally or occurred un-intentionally?
(4) Hunter was a free person or a slave?
(5) He was a mature (baligh) or immature (nabaligh) person?
(6) He hunted for the first time or had been doing earlier as well?
(7) The hunt was a bird or other animal?
(8) The hunt was a small or a big animal?
(9) Hunter was ashamed of his act or insisted on its correctness?
(10) Hunting was done in the night or day time?
(11) Ahraam was for Hajj or Umra?
"Which of these situations are in question? Since the teaching of
shariat depends on them."
Hearing this, Yahya bin Aksam was speechless and accepted his
ignorance and requested the Imam(a.s.) to answer in the light of each
situation. Imam(a.s.) replied as follows:
(1) If the animal was hunted while wearing Ahraam outside the limits
of Haram and the animal was a bird and of big size then the kaffara is
a goat.
(2) If the same has been hunted inside the limits of Haram then the
kaffara is 2 goats.
(3) If the animal was small and hunted outside the Haram then the
kaffara is one lamb that has completed its feeding from its mother.
(4) If this was done inside the haram then the kaffara is the cost of
the bird and one lamb.
(5) If the hunted was a four-legged animal then if it was a wild
donkey then the kaffara is a Cow and if was is an Ostrich then the
kaffara is one Camel and if it was a Deer then one goat.
(6) If the same is done inside the haram then the kaffara is double.
(7) If the ahraam is for Umra then the kaffarat have to be brought to
the Khana-e-Kaaba and the sacrifice will be done in Makkah. However if
the Ahraam if of Hajj then the sacrifice will be done in Mina.
(8) It does not matter is the hunter is aware of the shariat issue or
not – the kaffara will be the same in both cases.
(9) If the hunting is done intentionally then there is additional sin
committed, but if it was done un-intentionally then there is no sin.
(10) If the hunter is a free person then the kaffara will be the
liability of that person and if the hunter is a slave then the
kaffara is the liability of his owner.
(11) Kaffara will be mandatory on a baligh (mature) person and is not
mandatory on a na-baligh (immature) person.
(12) If the hunter repents his act then there is no punishment on the
day of judgment but if the hunter insists on it being correct then
will have to face punishment on the day of judgment as well.
