Wilayat E Ishq Imam Musa ar Reza AS

Gharib e Toos Film Series

His life was contemporary to the Abbasid reign and therefore, he suffered great difficulties made by the Abbasids.
1-The first ten years were contemporary to Haroon's caliphate.
2-The next five years were contemporary to Amin's caliphate.
3-The last five years were contemporary to Ma'moon's caliphate.
This period was peaceful for Imam and his followers.

However, Ma'moon killed his brother, Amin, and became the caliph. But the Alavi people were a threat to his government. They were successful in gaining people's support because they also had suffered great losses from the Abbasid Caliphate. Therefore, Ma'moon decided not to confront them and wanted to bring back peace and security to strengthen his government.

So, after consulting Fazl, he came up with a treacherous plan. He decided to offer the caliphate to Imam Reza (PBUH) and withdraw himself. Because whether the Imam accepted or not, it would still be a victory for Ma'moon. Thus Ma'moon decided to force the position of Caliph on Imam. It was then easier for him to eliminate Imam Reza (PBUH) and become the legal leader. Furthermore, the risings made against his government would lose their attraction and legitimacy.

On the other hand, he could make Imam settle near himself to control Imam and suppress his followers.
