Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad (745-799 AD) is the seventh Imam of the Shia Muslims and is known as Kadhim (AS).
Who are the best of people according to Imam Musa Al-Kadhim (AS)?
It is narrated from the seventh Shia Imam, Musa Al-Kadhim (AS) who said: The people are in four groups.
- The ignorant one who is drowned in his/her inordinate desires and is near to destruction.
- The (fake) worshipper who pretends to be pious and the more he/she worships, only their arrogance is increased.
- The scholar who only wants people to move behind him, and likes others to praise him.
- And the seeker of the truth who likes to establish the truth; but is either unable or is under domination of the others. Such a person is the best example of the time and the wisest of the people [1].
