As Salam-o-alaikum,
7th ZilHijjah 1431 A.H. - Martyrdom anniversary of Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) - the 5th Holy Imam. He was martyred in the 114 A.H. through poisoning by Hashsham bin Abdul Malik.
On this occasion of mourning in the household of the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), I extend my condolences to the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw), his Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.) and to all Momineen and Mominaat.
You may call it a coincidence or a special arrangement from Allah(swt) that Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) is the fifth Holy Imam and the seventh Masoom (infallible) and his year of birth was 57 A.H. and his age was 57 years as well. Also he is the first Imam whose name was Mohammad(a.s.) - the same as that of his grand-father Prophet Mohammad(sawaw).
Please visit the site and read the article about the Imam(a.s.) to find out:
- why Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) is named as such?;
- What was the association of Abu Hanifa with the Imam(a.s.)?
- How Jabir ibn-e-Abdullah Ansari(r.a.) met the Imam(a.s.)?
- How was he conspired against and martyred?
In keeping with the normal practice among the followers of the Prophet
Mohammad(sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.), please offer nazrana and
special prayers on this occassion and recite the Ziarat of the 5th Imam which is located at "Madina/Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.)/Ziarat" page. Please also recite the Ziarat-e-Jamea which can be found under the 'Ziarat Summary' Section of the Main Page.

Imam Mohammad Baqir(a.s.) gave some very informative answers to some of the most difficult questions to his disciples and others. Some of them are reproduced here:
Question: Which was the Roza (fast) in which eating and drinking was permitted?
Answer: The Roza (fast) that Hazrat Mariam(a.s.) observed in which she abandoned talking only.
Question: What decreases and never increases with time?
Answer: Age
Question: What increases and never decreases?
Answer: Water of the ocean.
Question: What was raised in the sky only once?
Answer: The mountain of Toor which was raised above Bani-Israel only once and then put down.
Question: Who are the people whose true testimony was declared a lie?
Answer: These are the munafiqeen (hypocrites) whose testimony that "Prophet is the messenger of God" was not accepted and they were declared liars by Allah(swt).
Question: When was one third of the mankind killed?
Answer: Never – however one fourth of mankind was killed when Qabeel murdered Habeel. At that time, the whole mankind consisted of 4 persons only.
Question: You Muslims believe that the food and drinks of Jannah will not cause necessity to urinate and pass stool. Is there any example of this in this world?
Answer: Yes there is. The child inside the womb of the mother gets fed without the necessity to urinate or pass stool.
Question: Who are the two people who were born at the same time and died at the same time but one was 50 years and the other was 150 years old at the time of death?
Answer: These were brothers Uzair and Aziz. Allah(swt) gave temporary death to Uzair for 100 years and when he got back life, he died again at the same time as did Aziz so the difference in their ages was 100 years.
Note: 7th ZilHijjah is the 13th of November in most Thailand and Saudi Arabia where as it is the 14th of November in Pakistan and North America.
