The Immaculate 14, Imam Jafar As-Sadiq (‘A)

Over 1000 years ago, in the city of Medina, an immaculate man was born. He was the 8th in the line of 14 divine leaders entrusted by God to support and guide humanity. Throughout his life, he brought knowledge to every aspect of society. He collected the laws of Shīʿah practice, and illuminated the laws of the scientific world. His name was Jaʿfar aṣ-Ṣādiq (ʿa).

In this book, we will follow Imām aṣ-Ṣādiq (ʿa) from his birth to his martyrdom, learning about his most inspiring achievements and hearing stories from everyday people who had the great blessing to meet him. We’ll see examples of his immaculate character, including his patience, compassion, and wisdom.

Let’s travel back to a time when Allah’s divine leaders were not living in occultation and discover the wisdom that they have to share.
