Some of the Works of Imam Reza (AS) ❤️

I do not think that I will be able in this research to do justice in recording all the rich aspects of the intellectual life of Imam al-Reza (AS), but I will try my best to provide a quick and clear idea about the intellectual output presented by the Imam for mankind in various fields of knowledge.

Thus, we would be able from a distance to conduct a complete definition of the aspects of the portrait in which we can view the life style of Imam al-Reza (AS), having finished researching its historical side.

Ibn Khaldun Doubts Imams' Knowledge ❤️

Some historians doubted the scholarship of the Imams, let alone their scholarly superiority, basing their doubts on the claim that had they been truly scholars, their books would have been made available to the public as is the case with all other scholars.

Anyone who considers the revolution of Imam Husain (AS) against Yazid as a mistake committed by the Imam (AS) and a gross miscalculation cannot be expected to refrain from making such a statement which we cannot attribute to ignorance or lack of the ability to know, but it is nothing other than the cloud of sectarian prejudice which stood as a curtain between him and seeing the events, issues, and their reflections as they really were.

The "fair-minded" historian is asked to tell us about the books authored by the sahaba and their works from whom he derived the principles and precepts of the creed of the Prophet (p.b.u.h), or even the works of the tabi'in whom he regards as the second class that is knowledgeable of the issues of the shari'a, custodians of its structure.

He may seek his excuse by saying that the narratives of hadith and news of events narrated through them are suitable as a criterion for judging the extent of their knowledge.

This is actually how we, too, defend our Imams, for the legacy they have left us in various fields of knowledge and which is narrated about them is sufficient to acquaint us with the extent of their knowledge and even superiority over others.

Is it really possible that Ibn Khaldun did not review such legacy of ahadith which reached us through them and recorded by scholars and thinkers and upon which the structure of their school of thought, in which a large section of the nation believes, stood?

We doubt it; nay, we may even be positively sure about the unrealistic nature of such an odd question especially since Ibn Khaldun is one of the most knowledgeable, most highly intellectual, and most mature writers.

Imams and the Persecution of Rulers ❤️❤️

The Imams were tested during various periods of their lives by pressing crises due to the trespassing of oppressive rulers on their civil liberties.

They pursued their followers and sincere adherents, straitening on them in various aspects of their everyday life, so much so that the word rafidi came to represent in the eyes of the rulers the final indictment of anyone proven to be "guilty" of its context, a believer in its background.

Because of that, the chance was lost for many of those who sought knowledge to derive from that leading fountainhead, and the chance to find the scholarly solutions for the intellectual problems because of which they were disturbing their minds.

Despite all these pressures and violent trespassing, mankind is not intellectually deprived of a great deal of intellectual masterpieces which the Imams (AS) dictated to their students and disciples in various aspects of scholarship.

Some of those students used to give jailers whatever they demanded so that they might agree to carry written questions to the jailed Imam (AS) and bring them back his answers thereto, out of their desire to benefit from the presence of the Imam (AS), and due to their desire to be faithful to the trust of scholarship, and in order to protect it from the labyrinths of doubt. The biography of the jailed Imam Mousa ibn Ja'fer (AS) bears witness to that according to those who quoted him.

Historians and biographers of Imam al-Reza (AS) do in fact mention some books authored by the Imam (AS) besides his narration of hadith and issues which he dictated to those who asked him and to his close companions who used to frequently question him about the types of knowledge which they could not understand. To positively identify these books as authored by the Imam (AS) may require a convincing evidence which we may not sometimes have.

Al-Fiqh al-Radawi ❤️❤️

Among those books is Al-Fiqh al-Radawi which was for quite some time the subject of debate among scholars, for there are among them those who considered it to be authored by the Imam (AS), relied on it, and established their arguments on such a basis, such as the Majlisis, Sayyid Bahr al-Uloom, the author of Al-Hadaiq, Shaikh al-Nawari, and others.

But the large number of scholars of verification conceded that it could not have been said for sure that it was authored by Imam al-Reza (AS) because of the lack of sufficient evidence in addition to their doubt, or the lack of conviction, of the arguments brought forth by those who considered it one of the Imam's works.

The fact that it was not at all common knowledge that that book was authored by the Imam (AS) prior to the late time of the Majlisis, in addition to the lack of knowledge of scholars before their time of any information about such an authorship, all of that negates the belief that it was attributed to or personally authored by the Imam (AS).

There was no reason why that book would not have been famous during the life-time of the Imam (AS) especially since the knowledge of the Imam (AS) was very well known to everyone, so much so that when he narrated hadith to the scholars of Nishapur, more than twenty thousand scribes wrote it down there and then, besides others, as scholars of hadith tell us.

How the Book Appeared ❤️❤️

The story how this book appeared says that a group of the residents of Qum brought a copy with them to Mecca where the ruler-judge (qadi-amir) Sayyid Husain al-Isfahani saw it and testified to its being authored by al-Reza (AS) and made a copy of it for himself which he brought to Isfahan.

There he showed it to the first (senior) Majlisi who likewise was sure it was authored by the Imam (AS) and so was his son the second (junior) Majlisi, and he quoted the ahadith it contained in the volumes of his book Bihar al-Anwar, making the book one of his own book's references, and this is how its fame spread.

In his Introduction to Bihar al-Anwar, al-Majlisi writes, "I was told about the book Fiqh al-Reza by the virtuous traditionist the ruler-judge Husayn, may God be Gracious unto his soul, after coming to Isfahan.

He said to me, `It happened that during the time when I was neighbouring the House of God, a group of the residents of Qum visited me while performing their hajj and they had with them an old book the date of its writing agreed with the date during which al-Reza (AS) was alive.'"

Then al-Majlisi continues to say, "I heard my father saying that it was in the handwriting of al-Reza (AS), and a large number of dignitaries testified to the same."

Sayyid Husayn al-Isfahani said: "Through those evidences, I came to know that it was indeed authored by the Imam (AS); therefore, I too the book and made a copy of it and corrected my copy by comparing it with the original, then my father took my copy and made yet another copy of it and compared the copy with the original, and most of its statements agree with what is mentioned by al-Saduq Abu Ja'fer ibn Babawayh in his book Man la Yahdaruhu al Faqih without giving credit to the book, and in agreement with what his father states in his letter to him. A large number of ahkam which our fellows have mentioned and whose source is unknown are mentioned in it."

Doubting the Accuracy of Rendering it to the Imam ❤️❤️

What makes us doubt the attribution is that Shaikh al-Saduq, who took pains in documenting all the legacies of Imam al-Reza (AS) and who researched him in his book 'Uyoon Akhbar al-Reza, and in others, did not mention that he had authored such a book.

Also, other scholars who came after him, be it residents of Qum or others, did not mention anything about it, and Sayyid al-Isfahani did not say anything about those pilgrims from Qum who showed him the book as to how they acquired the book, and who the person who was telling its story was.

It is also unusual that the book should remain obscure for such a long period of time in the hands of some residents of Qum without any of the city's scholars or traditionists getting to have a look at it, although those scholars were known not to leave anything small or big without writing it down in order to safeguard it against loss.

There are three possibilities regarding the book: ❤️❤️

1. That it is authored by the Imam (AS) on the account of evidences in it which give that impression such as his statement at its beginning, "Abdullah Ali ibn Mousa al-Reza says...," and "... one of our own customs, we people of the Ahl al-Bayt." In its chapter on zakat, it states, "It is narrated about my father the scholar..."

In its chapter on usury, it states, "My father ordered me and I obeyed." In the chapter on hajj, it states: "My father said that Asma daughter of Amees..." It also says, "... my father from my grandfather from his father said: `I saw Ali ibn al-Husayn walking without running.'"

It also contains: "I heard the scholar. I heard him say..." "Scholar" is the title of Imam al-Kazim (AS), up to the end of such statements which give the impression that the book was his, that he was its author, and they may be the evidences which encouraged many scholars to be positively sure that the book was written by the Imam (AS), and to act accordingly.

2. That it was authored by the man's father, whose name happens to be Ali ibn Mousa. He authored it for his son al-Saduq, and it is a compilation of narratives which came through Imam al-Reza (AS). This view was tolerated by some scholars, but the word "al-Reza (AS)" in the title of the book negates the possibility of its being authored by him except this may be the fault of those who made copies of the book and of the scribes since the complete name of the Imam (AS) comes to mind.

3. That it was compiled by Ibn Babawayh, or someone else, which he compiled on behalf of the Imam (AS) and in which he recorded the traditions which were narrated about Imam al-Reza (AS) and classified them in a way which gives the impression that he was an author for the Imam (AS) since the traditions about him are actually his own with only one difference: references of those traditions were eliminated. This may be the best possibility since other possibilities do not say anything about why the book's subject-matters were classified the way they are.

Dubai, UAE: From an initial target to provide one million children with access to quality education, philanthropic organisation Dubai Cares has come a long way as it has now touched 16 million young lives in 45 countries in just a decade. As Dubai Cares marked its 10th birthday on Wednesday, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; Reem Ebrahim Al Hashemi, Minister of State for International Cooperation and Dubai Cares Chairperson; and Dubai Cares CEO Tariq Al Gurg celebrated its achievements over the past decade and honoured key donors and supporters who have helped make a difference in the lives of these children and their communities. Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, was also present, along with other senior officials. Addressing Dubai Cares’ donors and supporters during the ceremony, Shaikh Mohammad said: “You have been with us since the beginning in our journey aimed at supporting children in developing countries in their quest for quality education. “The children whom we have provided primary education are now in need of completing their education and we are committed to addressing their education needs, with a particular focus on quality of education to transform communities in developing countries,” he added. The organisation’s focus for its first 10 years has been on supporting primary school-age children, as a key component of the UN Millennium Development Goals. “We are now reaching more than 16 million children in 45 developing countries. This is the number of children whose lives we have together impacted. This is the legacy of everyone who has contributed to Dubai Cares. Let me repeat that — 16 million lives have been transformed — thanks to all of you,” Al Gurg said. But besides the obvious aid such as building and renovating classrooms and schools, Dubai Cares has taken the lead in tackling lesser-known obstacles to education such as lack of gender-specific latrines and handwashing facilities and adequate student nutrition or health. “As a result, we have managed to increase the level of enrolment in schools, reduce dropout rates, improve the quality of education, ensure gender equality across all programmes, provide training for teachers and contribute to the global body of evidence-based best practices,” Al Gurg said. As it continues its programme in the years to come, Al Gurg said the organisation will now extend its reach to address the systemic factors and causes behind the large number of out-of-school children and youth globally. Dubai Cares will also increase its focus on funding interventions in areas where governments are unable to provide services, such as ‘education in emergencies’ programmes, aimed at supporting the most vulnerable children and young people. Key partners from different aid agencies across the globe also thanked Dubai Cares for their support. “The work of Dubai Cares is about more than numbers. It’s about commitment to evidence, to innovation, to reaching children across lines of race, religion, and region,” David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, said. Pierre Krähenbühl, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said: “We are very proud of this partnership with Dubai Cares which began the very year Dubai Cares was founded. The first contribution to our work was in the Nahr Al Bared camp in Lebanon, providing schooling and other forms of support in response to an emergency.” During the ceremony, a memorial containing all names of government, private sector and individual sponsors who have contributed to Dubai Cares was unveiled. Among those honoured as exemplary donors are pupils from the Kindergarten Starters, who have rallied financial support to Dubai Cares for the past five years. “We feel bad that we are getting education and other children elsewhere in the world are not. Everyone should have access to education that’s why we are doing what we can to collect funds to help them,” Mahek Irfan Mohammad, one of the pupils, said.
