Information about the life of Isma'il al-Mubarak, his connections and the movement carried out by his followers is extremely rare. Among the early works, only a few Twelver sources give some information about the subject. However, due to open rivalry between the Isma'ilis and the Twelvers, the information derived from the Twelver books always carri...
Isma'il ibn Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Mubarak's birth date is unknown, but apparently he was the second son of Ja'far al-Sadiq, born between 80 and 83/699–702. His mother, Fatima bint al-Husayn al-Athram ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, was the first wife of al-Sadiq.[a] Her mother was Asma, daughter of Aqil ibn Abi Talib. The Sunni theologian Muhammad al-Shahra...
Designation
According to the majority of the available sources, al-Sadiq had indeed designated al-Mubarak by nass (divine decree) as his successor in Imamate. This fact was accepted as the formal act of nass required by Shia theory and was therefore a designation by an infallible Imam of the new Imam who would inherit the full powers of the Imamate. Al-Mubarak was thus not only al-Sadiq's choice but was God's choice as well. This designation, in fact, forms the basis of Isma'ili claims and which should h...
Relations with radical Shias
Al-Mubarak evidently had contacts with the activist Shias in his father's following, including al-Mufaddal ibn Umar al-Ju'fi. According to the historian al-Maqrizi (d. 1442), al-Mufaddal regarded al-Sadiq as God, so the Imam repudiated him and publicly cursed him. Al-Mubarak, who was reportedly involved in certain anti-Abbasid plots, may also have collaborated with Abu al-Khattab al-Asadi, another activist Shia originally in the entourage of al-Sadiq. Abu al-Khattab had been active in the Shi...
The doctrine of bada
The Twelver Shia believe that al-Sadiq revoked his first nass in favour of al-Mubarak with radical Shias and made a second nass in favour of his son al-Kazim. This newly contrived theory took its early nourishment among the people who lacked the concept of the Imamate. The Twelver scholar Abdulaziz Abdulhussein Sachedina confirms the problems inherent in the doctrine of bada: "It implied God's change of mind (bada) because of a new consideration, caused by the death of Isma'il. However, such...
The exact date and the circumstances of al-Mubarak's death also remain unknown. According to the Isma'ili tradition, al-Mubarak died in 158/775, and was buried at the Maqam al-Imam (lit.'the shrine of the Imam') in Salamiyah, a city located in Syria. However, non-Isma'ili sources report that he died in Medina, and was buried in the Baqi cemetery th...
Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq (Arabic: جَعْفَر بْن مُحَمَّد ٱلصَّادِق, romanized: Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣādiq; c. 702 –765 CE) was a Shia Muslim scholar, jurist, and theologian, and the sixth imam of the Twelver and Isma'ili branches of Shia Islam.
Muhammad Ibn Talhah Shafi’i writes, “Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Sadiq was one of the noblemen of the Ahlul Bayt. He was so knowledgeable. He worshipped and remembered Allah very much. He was very pious and recited Holy Quran much. He pondered in Quranic meanings, found trivial facts, and discovered amazing results.
Isma'il bin Jafar (Arabic: إسماعيل بن جعفر, c. 721 C.E./103 AH - 755 C.E./138 AH) was the eldest son of the sixth Shi'a Imam, Ja'far al-Sadiq. Isma'il bin Ja'far is considered to be the seventh Ismaili Imam although, since he predeceased his father, he never actually functioned in the capacity of Imam.
The Sevener Isma'ilis consider either Isma'il ibn Ja'far or his son Muhammad ibn Isma'il to be their final Imam and occulted Mahdi. The Seveners propagated their faith from their bases in Syria through Da'iyyun.
Isma'il ibn Ja'far (Arabic: إسْماعِيل ٱبْن جَعْفَر ٱلْمُبَارَك, romanized: Ismāʿīl ibn Jaʿfar al-Mubārak) was the eldest son of Ja'far al-Sadiq and the sixth Imam in Isma'ilism. He carried the epithet of al-Mubarak, on the basis of which one of the earliest Isma'ili groups became designated as the Mubarakiyya.
