Designation of divine representatives does not follow human laws, and the age of these leaders does not play a role in their mission.

If before Imam al-Jawad (PBUH), only a few number of Shias believed in the divine appointment as the main factor for designation of an Imam and didn’t assign much weight to the age, his Imamate showed most Shias that God, with His infinite knowledge, bestows the merits of this position, upon His designated and chosen servants. 

Sometimes, by the will and wisdom of God, He bestows the divine knowledge upon a child and appoints him as a prophet or the Imam of the ummah.

Condolences to our awaited Imam (a.s.) and the followers of Ahlulbayt (PBUT) on the martyrdom of Imam Mohammad al-Jawad (a.s.)
