Muhammad al-Bāqir Zitate

Abū Dschaʿfar Muhammad ibn ʿAlī Zain al-ʿĀbidīn, genannt al-Bāqir , war Sohn von Ali Zain al-Abidin und Vater von Dschaʿfar as-Sādiq. Er ist der fünfte Imam der Imamiten und der vierte der Ismailiten.

Nach dem Tod von Ali Zain al-Abidin entbrannte zwischen Muhammad und seinem jüngeren Bruder Zaid ein Streit um die Nachfolge als Imam. Einige Anhänger Muhammad al-Bāqirs vertraten extrem-schiitische Lehren und gründeten später eigene gnostische Sekten. Zu ihnen gehörten al-Mughīra ibn Saʿīd, der Muhammad al-Bāqir übermenschliche Eigenschaften beilegte und selbst für sich später das Prophetentum in Anspruch nahm, sowie Abū Mansūr al-ʿIdschlī, der Muhammad al-Bāqir als Propheten verehrte und nach dessen Tod behauptete, dass er das Prophetentum von ihm geerbt habe.

Beigesetzt ist Muhammad auf dem al-Baqi'-Friedhof in Medina, Saudi-Arabien. Seine Grabanlage wurde 1926 nach der saudischen Eroberung des Königreichs Hedschas von den Ichwān, fanatischen Anhängern der Wahhabiten, zerstört. Sein Sohn Soltan Ali ebn-e-Mohammad wurde im persischen Dorf Maschhad-e-Ardehal begraben, zu dessen Ehren einmal jährlich die Zeremonie Qalischuyan stattfindet. Wikipedia

Muhammad al-Bāqir: Zitate auf Englisch

“I admonish you regarding five things:”

1) If you are wronged, do not commit wrong doing to others;
2) If you are betrayed, do not betray anyone;
3) If you are called a liar, do not be furious;
4) If you are praised, do not be jubilant;
5) If you are criticised, do not fret and think of what is said in criticism - if you find in yourself what is criticised about you, then you are falling down in the eyes of God; when you are furious about the truth, it is a much greater calamity then your falling down in the eyes of the people. And if you are opposite of what is said (in criticism) about you, then it is a merit you acquired without having to tire yourself in obtaining it.
