When a
Muslim knows little about Allah (SWT) and has no idea about his
relationship with his Lord, he ends up confused, troubled and uncertain
about his belief. This is easily expressed through laziness, lack of
desire in worship

IMAM AL-KADHIM (A.S.) & THE HOLY QURAN-
(SECTION 2)
IMAM (AS)’S
RELATION WITH QURAN
Imam Musa ibn Ja’ffar al-Kadhim (as) was
extremely attached to the Holy Quran throughout his entire life.

‘Imam Musa al-Kadhim (as) was the most
knowledgeable person in Quran during his days. He (as) was its

IMAM AL-KADHIM (A.S.) & THE HOLY QURAN-
(SECTION 1)
One of the qualities, which Islam desires to see
in every Muslim, is that of
Hamalatul-Quran ‘Bearer of Quran’.
Simply put, a Muslim must strive to always think Quran, talk Quran,
act according to Quran and his entire life should be based upon
Quran.
The Holy Prophet (saww) has said,
“The most distinguished
people of my nation are those who are bearers of Quran and keep up
the night prayer”. (Meezan al-Hikmah)

The earth,
as a whole, was created, in the eyes of the Imam to be a worshipping
place, a concept first presented by the Apostle of Allah (s.a.w.). This
life was created so that people could serve and glorify Allah, the Most
High. It is merely a trip towards Allah, and an attempt to know Him
better. The Imam wouldn't feel a change in time or place. All the
times and places for him were the same. One the contrary, the more he
was persecuted, the closer he got to Allah (swt) by means of patience
and prayer. He made his prison a mosque, and his loneliness and the
dreariness of the jail a pleasant place filled with the remembrance of
Allah, the Most High. He fasted during the day, and prayed and recited
supplication in the night, staying up until daybreak.One of those
charged with keeping a watchful eye on the Imam in the prison of Isa bin
Ja'far related that he had heard the Imam praying, "O Allah, You know
that i had been asking You to free me from any obligation except
worshipping You. Now You have done that. So, praise be to You."
