He is the best of my offspring. So, if you remain (living) after me, then be a witness of that for him (in the presence of) my Shia, the people (pledging) allegiance to me, and those asking about (who) my successor is.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2 &#8211; The Imam in Khorasan<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Imam Musa al-Kadhim was martyred and people learned that Harun al-Rashid had been the culprit, the corrupt ruler eased the pressure on the Shia for the remainder of his reign so as not further to incite a rebellion. So, at least for a while, Imam al-Kadhim\u2019s successor was free to teach and speak publicly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conflict within the Abbasid government and a host of historical events led Ma\u2019mun, (the son of Harun), into power, and the eighth Imam was then catapulted into mounting political pressure. Ma\u2019mun thought up a plan to neutralize the growing threat of a Shia rebellion and kept tabs on the Shia leadership. To gain legitimacy, Ma\u2019mun forced Imam al-Rida (p) to reside at his palace in Marv, the capital of Khorasan (in modern-day Turkmenistan).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imam al-Rida, realizing Ma&#8217;mun intentions, initially rejected the invitation. But after Ma&#8217;mun insistence and threats, the Imam was escorted to Ma&#8217;mun palace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Ma&#8217;mun\u2019s headquarters, the remainder of the corrupt ruler\u2019s plot unfolded. Ma\u2019mun offered to step down from his political role and accept the leadership of Imam al-Rida. Imam al-Rida turned down the offer because he knew Ma\u2019mun was insincere. Ma\u2019mun then suggested that the Imam accept the position of Wilayat al- \u2018Ahd (being successor or crown prince), as if Abbasid rule had been legitimate to begin with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imam al-Rida refused to accept. But Ma\u2019mun could not accept the Imam\u2019s rejection. He threatened to kill him. Even then, the Holy Imam only accepted the title which Ma\u2019mun proposed, after making it clear that he would effectively have no role in Ma&#8217;mun\u2019s corrupt government.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Imam attempted to utilize the opportunity at hand to serve and advance the cause of the Shia community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3 &#8211; The Imam\u2019s Debates with Other Faith Leaders<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ma\u2019mun called upon scholars of various ideologies, both within Islam and beyond, in an attempt to stump Imam al-Rida intellectually. The eighth Imam, however, stood before the winds of doubt like an unshakeable mountain of certainty. Imam al-Rida was like a light that shone in every dialogue and debate as an unsurpassed source of guidance.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With every discussion, with every scholar, and with every opposing idea, the Imam\u2019s wise and refined thoughts made him even more revered and loved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one of the debates with Christian scholars, the Imam reached a point where he said, \u201cBy God, we believe in the Jesus who believed in Muhammad, and we don\u2019t blame your Jesus except for his weakness and the lack of his fasting and prayer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Christian scholar Jathliq responded, \u201cBy God, you have corrupted your knowledge and weakened your issue; and I thought that you were the most knowledgeable among the people of Islam!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Imam said, \u201cAnd how is that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jathliq replied, \u201cYou said that Jesus was weak, lacking in his fasting, and lacking in his prayer, when Jesus did not break his fast on any day at all, nor did he sleep at night at all, but rather he fasted throughout (his) time and stayed up in worship at night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Imam replied, implicitly clarifying his initial statement, \u201cSo (if you say Jesus is God, then) whom did he fast for and pray to?\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4 &#8211; The Imam\u2019s Martyrdom &amp; Legacy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Imam (p) made every attempt to continue to preach the message of his forefathers, in spite of the circumstances of living under the watchful eye of the Abbasid authorities. His leadership, gentleness, and knowledge made him popular across the Muslim world, leading to Ma\u2019mun\u2019s fear that his strategy would backfire. What magnified Ma&#8217;mun\u2019s worries was the revolt of some Abbasids back in the traditional capital \u2013 Baghdad \u2013 against him. These factors led Ma\u2019mun to a decision to rid himself of his worry. Thus, the Abbasid ruler Ma\u2019mun decided to have the holy eighth Imam poisoned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imam \u2018Ali al-Rida was buried in Tus, present-day Mashhad, Iran. The Imam\u2019s legacy is in the heart of those who love, adore, and visit his mausoleum to which millions of devotees flock every year. In addition, his ethical and spiritual traditions, along with his jurisprudential wisdom, are present in the textbooks and classical hadith works of the Shia community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Kafi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Alkulayni, vol. 2, page 55.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuhaf al-Uqool<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ibn Shaba al-Harrani, pg 445.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuhaf al-Uqool<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ibn Shaba al-Harrani, pg 443.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuhaf al-Uqoo<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">l, Ibn Shaba al-Harrani, pg 446.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Uyun Akhbar al-Ridha<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Sh.
