Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Musa Bin Ja'far Al-kazim Chapter Vii The Collapse of the Umayyad Government Imam Musa, peace be on him, was in an early age during the violent revolution against the Umayyad government. His holy age, as the narrators say, was over four years. This period of time allows its owner to carry into his inner self many of the views and pictures that pass by him, especially when they are of the heavy events.

For they, without doubt, affect his inner self and react with it and leave in it many impressions, just as the psychologists say. In his early age, Imam Musa saw or heard the violent revolution against the Umayyad government that included all the Islamic regions.

Many terrible events accompanied that revolution; for example, there were mountains of the corpses of the victims, and sees of blood were generously given to get rid of that black government standing on injustice, exploitation, and turning away from human's rights. We are not busy with writing a research on the foundation of the Umayyad government and explaining the reasons for establishing it, for that is something hurts one's feelings and leaves the flames of sadness in hearts.

Surely this government was established to isolate , peace be on them, and remove them from leading the community, according to the results concluded from the Consultative Council designed for this purpose. Throughout its stages, this government was accompanied by many social problems that had an effect on the Islamic general life and losing the original objectives Islam seeks under its rule such as spreading justice, equality, welfare, and ease among men.

All Islamic, constructive concepts were completely freezed; the expectations of Islam in finding a society free from ignorance, dullness, miserly, and poverty were lost. The noble life for which Islam strove was changed into a dark life prevailed by pre-Islamic tendencies, dominated by oppression, tyranny, and deviation from humanitarian values. It is necessary for us to pause to look for the reasons that folded that black government and removed its detested existence from the Islamic world.

Surely the speech of that has a close relationship, as we think, with the research on the Life of Imam Musa.
