Jaʿfar (a)''' (Arabic: {{ia|موسی بن جعفر}}) titled as '''al-Kāẓim''' ({{ia|الکاظم}}) and '''Bāb al-Ḥawāʾij''' ({{ia|باب الحوائج}}) was the seventh [[Imamate|Imam]] of [[Shi'a]], born in [[128]]/745 in the village of [[Abwa']] (between [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]]). After his father [[Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a)]] was [[martyrdom|martyred]] he (a) became the Imam of Shi'a. The thirty five years of his [[imamate]] coincided with the [[caliphate]] of [[al-Mansur al-'Abbasi|al-Mansur]], [[al-Hadi al-'Abbasi|al-Hadi]], [[al-Mahdi al-'Abbasi|al-Mahdi]], and [[Harun al-Rashid]]. He was repeatedly imprisoned by al-Mahdi and Harun, and was finally martyred in [[183]]/799 in [[al-Sindi b. Shahik]]'s prison. After his martyrdom, he was succeeded by his son, [['Ali b. Musa (a)]], as the next Imam. | ||
Imam al-Kazim's (a) life coincided with the peak of the Abbasid caliphate. He practiced [[taqiyya]] (dissimulation) with regard to the government and recommended the Shi'as to do the same. Thus, there is no report of him taking explicit positions against the Abbasid caliphs or with regard to [[Alids]] uprisings, such as the [[Uprising of Fakhkh]]. However, in his debates and dialogues with Abbasid caliphs and others, he tried to question the legitimacy of the Abbasid caliphate. | Imam al-Kazim's (a) life coincided with the peak of the Abbasid caliphate.
