- Imamat of the 5th Imam coincided with the later days of the Banu Ummayah. 
- There were a group of people who believed in several things:
1.Faith and Action:
2.Saying that you publically beleive in Allah is sufficient
-these people were known as Murji'a (we have hope in Allah, deeds do not matter)
-5th Imam made statements shutting this point down. 
3.Belief & action are both important.
- this is the view supported by the Imams of Ahlul Bayt.
-------
- In Shia Islam, we cannot seperate Amaal from Amal (intention from actions). They are both equally important. 
- The Murjia were gaining popularity during their time. 
- When Yazid bin Abdul Malik was in power, 50 scholars came to him and they said, "The Khulafa in the year after don't have any accounts to be paid." Yazid killed thousands of Shias. He is known in their books as Muminul Kaamilul Imaan.
- In Saudi Arabia, there is a textbook that says "Yazeed: Amirul Mumineen"
- These are the people who abused the sahaba of the Prophet. But they will say that they had the right niyyat, the Murjia ideology. Today, this is seen as the Wahhabi Ideology. 
- Imam lived at a time where the Murjia ideology was important.
- "My grandfather Ameerul Mumineed was asked, 'Oh Imam, whoever says the Shahadat, is he a Mumin?' He responded and said, 'What duties do you have towards Allah (S.W.T)?'"
- Some of the wordings of the 5th Imam have been changed bc of the Murjia.
- "Islam is an issue of this Dunya, Iman is a mattter of the hereafter."
