The Political Style of Imam Sajjad (AS) and its Role in Preserving and Prospering Shiites

This is a reprint of the political style of Imam Sajjad and its role in preserving and promoting the Shi'a religion. This is a library, analytical-descriptive study using authoritative Islamic sources in the basis of the data of the Foundation. These sources of political life of Imam Sajjad were identified and the role of each of their areas of life was investigated. Imam Sajjad was the man of the field of science and practice who, using his special life style, tried to preserve Shi'ite blood and transfer high religious education to the people. Using important means, such as using the prayer form, sermon, neglecting tyrant rulers, trying to guide the scholars of the court, and solving the determinism, he was able to perform three important political and social tasks: to explain the characteristics of the imams, to preserve Shi'i blood and to express the general lines of religion. Imam Sajjad was the man of struggle for the purpose of God's creation and to establish the government, but because of the lack of readiness of society, he used the special political style of life to prepare people.
