Imam Jawad (peace be upon him), the ninth Imam of the Shia, was born on the 10th of Rajab in the year 195 AH in Medina. His father was Imam Reza (peace be upon him), and his mother was a virtuous woman named Sabikah. Despite his young age, he was renowned for his vast knowledge and wisdom, and for this reason he became known as Jawad al-A’immah (the Most Generous of the Imams).
