Hawzah News Agency – Like other infallible Imams, Imam Jawad (as) is a role model, leader and an example to follow. The short life of this meritorious servant of God was spent on fighting against the unfaithful and rebellion.

In his adolescence, he was appointed the Leader of the Islamic nation; and, in a few years, he went through a compact struggle against God’s enemy--such that he became unbearable for the enemies of God; hence, they poisoned him, leading him to martyrdom. Just as our other Imams (as) recorded a golden page in history, through their endeavor for the sake of God, this noble Imam (as) also fulfilled an important part of Islam’s comprehensive struggle, through his activism, and he taught us a great lesson.

That great lesson is that when faced with hypocritical and duplicitous powers, we should make an attempt to awaken people’s awareness for fighting these powers.

If the enemy displaces hostility, openly and bluntly, and does not practice duplicity, it will be an easier task. But, when the enemy is like Ma’moon Abbassi, who disguises as sacred and an advocate of Islam, it would be difficult for the people to recognize him. In our time and in all eras of history, those in power have always tried to resort to duplicity and hypocrisy once they fail in openly standing against the people.
