Existence's
sun of eight shining star from Imamat cradle , Hazrat Ali , the son of Moses (p.b.u.h.)
who is famous to Reza became radiant from province horizon , on Friday ,
eleventh Dhu'l-adoh in 148 Hegira-lunar in Medina.
Imam Reza (p.b.u.h.)
had high knowledge and degrees in addition to human and moral exalted
excellences , like his own great father and his dear ancestor , Hazrat
Mohammad.
Eighth Imam
was contemporary with four Abasi caliphs in his blessed life time that Mamon
was the last one of them.
Mamon's time
was the time of mental motion and scientific development , because of his
interest in knowledge.
Great
scientists from different nations moved to caliphate center , because their
country was under the Islam influence and domination and caliph honored their
arrival and respect them so much.
Because of
scientist's encouragement , little by little , all people get interested in
knowledge and so many scientific arguments meetings were held by the
government and honor person ( Imam Reza (p.b.u.h.)) was in the head of these
meetings.
In one of
these meetings , caliph invited thirty-three thousand people of different
religions scientists from across the Islamic countries.
Omran Sabi ,
one of the people who debated with Imam that was the boss of the Sabaism
religion. One of the Omran's question from Imam was : God is in creation or the
creation is in God ?
( Is God in
our around objects and people or our around objects and people are the signs
of God ? )
Imam (p.b.u.h.)
said :" Omran ! the God is more greater to speak about him like this ; neither
God is creation nor creation is in him. I ask a question which includes your
answer. Have you ever seen the mirror ? Are you in mirror or mirror is in you
?
In fact ,
none of you are in each other. Omran ! How do you see yourself in mirror ?"
Omran said : by the light and ray which are between me and mirror.
Imam (p.b.u.h.)
asked :" Is the light of what you see in the mirror more than object's reality
in outside."
Omran said :
yes. Imam (p.b.u.h.) said :" well ! show us where that extra light is !" Omran
got amazed and fell down his head and couldn't answer. Imam Reza (p.b.u.h.)
said :" you didn't answer but I'll tell you the fact. The light moves without
being in you and in mirror and it guides you to mirror and guides mirror to
you and also guides both ( you and mirror ) to itself."
In mentioned
version , Imam (p.b.u.h.) pronounce the argument about God's manifestation on
creatures and imagines the world as God manifestation's mirror on creatures
and says :" exalted God is sheer light that has led all creatures to himself
while he is not in anything and nothing is in him either even the fact of all
creatures appear by him and they become meaningful."
Imam's great
responsibility was to answer all scientific problems which were not analyzed
in debates and argumentations.
in fact ,
proved his own scientific power and showed Imamat position to people in the
world by means of science.
In the time
of Imam Reza scientific problems and questions were pronounced based on
medicine , natural science , mathematics , astrology , divine philosophy ,
unification and speech because of lack of people's information in that time ,
so answering to people was so difficult and sensitive.
But Imam
stated convincing and efficient answers about all problems by his own unique
and divine scientific power as the greatest scientist at that time confess
that Imam Reza (p.b.u.h.) is the most greatest scientific champion in the
world and no human is able to have a scientific competition with him.
It's hoped to
be hardworking in knowledge and act to science in order to flourish human
purposes.
