Imam Sadegh (AS) was born in Medina
on the seventeenth day of the month of Rabi al-Awal in the year eighty-three AH, and passed away at the age of sixty-six in the middle of the month of Rajab or Shawwal in the year one hundred and forty-eight. Imam Sadegh (AS) lived for twelve years during the life of his grandfather, and he was with his father for nineteen years, and for thirty-four years after the death of his noble father, he became the Imamate. His Imamate coincided with the days of the caliphate of Hisham ibn Abd al-Mulk and Walid ibn Yazid ibn Abd al-Mulk and Yazid ibn Walid ibn Abd al-Mulk known as Naqis and Ibrahim ibn Walid and Marwan ibn Muhammad Hamar.
His most famous title is "Sadegh". According to a narration, the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) gave him this title to distinguish him from Ja'far al-Kadhab, but some have said that Imam Sadegh (AS) was called Sadegh in order to avoid participating in the uprisings of his time; Because at that time, anyone who gathered people around him and incited an uprising against the government was called a liar. At the same time, the Imams used this title for Imam Sadegh (AS).
One of the greatest moral virtues that is not easy to achieve is the spirit of forgiving others and ignoring their mistakes. Continuation of social life is based on forgiveness. If all people want to be strict in asserting their rights and not ignore the slightest slip, life will be very bitter and the spirit of purity and intimacy will disappear from society altogether.
mam Sadegh (AS), like his ancestors, is a model of piety and morality and belongs to a family whose method is forgiveness. If someone made a mistake or hurt them, he would kindly forgive his mistake and ignore his mistake.
Imam Sadegh (AS) not only invited others to work and effort, but also worked on the farm during the hot summer days. There is a narration from Abi Amr Sheibani who says that he saw Imam Sadegh (AS) who was shoveling in his farm and he was sweating a lot as his shirt was wet. Seeing this scene, I told him if you allow me to do this. I do it so you can rest. The Imam said, "I would like a man to be bothered by the sun in search of his sustenance."
During his 34 years of long Imamate, Imam (AS) opened the doors of knowledge to Islamic students and scholars and became the religious and scientific authority of the Shiites. Imam Sadegh (AS), considering the appropriate political opportunity that had arisen and considering the extreme needs of society and the preparation of the social field, followed the scientific and cultural movement of his father Imam Mohammad Baqir (AS) and a large scientific field and a large university were established. Brought and in the various fields of intellectual and narrative sciences of that day, great and prominent students such as Hisham Ibn Hakam, Muhammad Ibn Muslim
God in the Holy Qur'an, the ultimate goal of creation is worship and servitude; That is, they have introduced the same worship of God
In expressing the devotional character of Imam Sadegh (AS), it is enough that Malik Ibn Anas says that Imam Sadegh was not out of three states, either fasting, standing in worship or mentioning and he is one of the greatest servants and great ascetics, those who Their Lord was afraid. In fact, they are a clear example of this Qur'anic verse which says: "Those who can never be arrogant in worshiping God in the position of nearness, and glorify Him and prostrate to Him.
