Muhammad al-Jawad (Person) AKA Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jawad, محمد بن علي الجواد
Muhammad al-Jawad
811 AD - 835 AD
AKA Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jawad, محمد بن علي الجواد
- 9th Imam of Twelver Shi'ite Islam
Accepting al-Jawad became an issue of controversy, by both Shia who had not experienced a minor Imam; and by Abbasids who objected his marriage to al-Ma'mun's daughter. Abbasids' opposition was mostly steamed from the fact that they were worried from Ma'mun's pro-Alid policies. Thus they convinced Yahya ibn Aktham, the chief judge of Abbassids, to humiliate al-Jawad by asking questions he might not be able to answer. To their surprise, however, al-Jawad was able to answer all questions. The same thing happened with prominent Shia who came together from all over the Islamic world, to see the young Imam, and, according to Shia, they were so impressed by him that their doubts were dispelled.
