His honorable name is Mohammad , his family name is Abi Jafar and he was well known as Bagher , Shaker , and Hadi.

The most famous title of that great man was "Bagher-ol Oloum" meaning : splitter of knowledge , because he was revealing knowledge and secrets by searching much. He was revealing knowledge by removing curtains and making it appear.

During the life of Hazrat Imam Mohammad Bagher (p.b.u.h.) government of Omavian was descending after rebel of Imam Hossein (p.b.u.h.) and Abbasian commenced their activities. This was a suitable opportunity for his divine Imam , so that he could express the realities of Islam and remove the curtains of negligence and superstitious ideas of the people. He taught the exact and real principles of this divine religion correctly and proved them.

From among the sciences Imam Mohammad Bagher (p.b.u.h.) was instructing , were Islamic jurisprudence principles , medicine , math , astronomy , ethics , chemistry , and too many people were educated in the same school.

Imam had more than 494 friends , each of whom were the important scientific characters , who had written jurisprudential works and books and all became the origin of jurisprudence and Islamic sciences and techniques for the future. Scientific , educational school of Imam Bagher (p.b.u.h.). The scientific and educational school of Imam Bagher (p.b.u.h.) was piety and charity. During his time , some doors of all types of knowledge were opened for the first time in the history of Islam.

A man entered the meeting with Imam (p.b.u.h.) and asked : "Whom do you worship?" Imam Bagher (p.b.u.h.) prescribed : we worship Allah. He asked : "you have seen him?" Imam stated : "yes , but not with the eyes on our heads , but with eyes of our hearts and reality of heart. Because the hearts will comprehend God through the reality of faith and see that God will not be known by comparison. It means that God can not be compared with any other creature. God will not be comprehended by our senses. It means that he can not be felt by senses. It means that only God will be able to describe himself and to prove himself by his own proofs. The man left the meeting while he was uttering : "God knows better whom he should commission."²

It has been narrated that Imam Mohammad Bagher (p.b.u.h.) prescribed to Jaber Jaafi : "Do you think that it would suffice if you say : I love Ali and his mission , while you do not follow him? Will the kindness be enough for you? So you should fear God and should know that the dearest person with God is one who avoids the prohibited acts and observes the imperative acts. I take oath to God stating that approach of God shall be only through observing his instructions. Who ever will observe instructions of God will be our friend and whoever commits sin , will be our enemy and our prophecy can not be obtained only through piety and charity.³

We hope , under the light of birth of this sacred child , our hearts are lighted with faith and we will take strong steps in this path.
