AsSalam-o-Alaikum, Members of Shia Network Group


25th of Shawwal 1428 A.H. - Martyrdom of Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.) - the 6th Holy Imam.  Some other traditions state his date of martyrdom as 15th of Shawwal.

There is an almost consensus of opinion that the martyrdom of Imam Jafer Sadiq(a.s.) was caused through poisoning by Mansoor Duwaniqi on 25th of Shawwal in 148 A.H.  Imam(a.s.) was of 65 years of age – the longest among all masoomeen( a.s.) apart from Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.).  He was buried in the cemetery of Baqi.  An important quote of Imam(a.s.) just before his death was that "The shifaat of us - Ahl-e-Bati(a.s.) - can not reach those who consider Namaz as ordinary and light".

On this occasion of sorrow and grief in the household of the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), I wish to extend my condolences to the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all
Momineen and Mominaat.

To renew your allegiance to the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and his
Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), please offer nazrana and offer special prayers and duas.
