He
s born in Medina on 10 th Rajab 195 A.H. At that time Ameen, son of Ha
n Rasheed,
s on the throne in the capital city of Baghdad.Rearing and Upbringing
It is a very heart-rending fact that at a very early age Hazrat Imam Muhammad Taqi (AS) had to prepare himself to face the hardships and sufferings of life. For a very short time, he could pass his days under the loving and inst
ctive shadow of his father. It
s in the fifth year of his age when his father, Hazrat Imam Reza (AS)
s forced to leave Medina for Khurasan. After separation from his father at that age, Imam Muhammad Taqi did not get the opportunity to meet him again in his lifetime.Mamun martyred Imam Reza (AS) The world must have been under the impression that there were now no means left for Imam Muhammad Taqi (AS) whereby to gain access to the heights of knowledge and accomplishments and, thereby, the seat or learning of Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS) would remain unoccupied from now on
rds.Nevertheless, the amazement of the people knew no bounds when after some time they witnessed this young child taking his seat by the side of Mamun, engaging himself in disputations with eminent scholars on jurisp
dence, traditions, exegesis, reasoning, and compelling them to accept his viewpoint. Their astonishment
s not to end until they were prepared to admit that against physical means there
s also a divine system to impart knowledge and training. Without such a realization, the puzzle could not and cannot be solved.المصدر
