Imam Sajjad (A.S) began making Gnostic supplications to safeguard the culture of
Ashura. This shows his deep insight and good understanding of the time. His
supplications have been collected in such valuable books as Sahifeh Sajjadiyeh,
Khamsah Ashar Supplications, Abu Hamzeh Thamali Supplications, daily
supplications, etc.
Imam Sajjad (A.S) used supplications to express his views at a time the society
was full of deviants and the rulers were politically, ethically and socially
corrupt. There was no political freedom, but Imam Sajjad (A.S) could create a
public move toward true worshipping of God and gaining Islamic wisdom. Although
his supplications were religious in nature, people could
read in between the lines and understand about his political views as well.
