Imam Redha

Who did Imam Ridha plead divine mercy for?

There is a demand for knowledge everywhere. There is a demand for benevolent words and clear knowledge everywhere. Imam Ali ibn Musa ar-Ridha (a.s.) told one of his companions, "May God bestow His grace on those who revive our command." The man asked, "How can your command be revived?" He answered, "By learning our knowledge and teaching it to people." Then he said, "If people know the virtues of our words, they will obey us."

It is not at all necessary for you to work too hard in order to further the teachings of the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) household. There is no need to become angry and complain about this and that. It is enough to learn the teachings of the Holy Prophet's (s.w.a.) household appropriately and transfer them to other people. These monotheistic teachings, these teachings about the nature of man, these teachings that encompass different issues of human life are by themselves attractive. They attract hearts and make them follow the path of the Imams. There is a great opportunity for you here. You have gathered here from different countries. Here each of you has the opportunity to become familiar with your Muslim brothers and their indigenous culture.
