Talk:Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik

[Untitled]
The chronological order mentioned here for the death of the 4th Shi'a Imam (Zayn-ul-Abidin, Ali ibn Al-Husayn) is incorrect. Imam Ali ibn Al-Husayn died in 95 A.H., and this is approximately equivalent 713 A.D. which is a time period under the reign of Al-Walid ibn Abd-Al-Malik (Walid I). Hisham then, who ruled until 743 A.D. would be responsible for the death of the 5th Imam, Muhammed Al-Baqir, son of Ali ibn Al-Husayn (d.733 A.D.). Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq, son of Imam Muhammed Al-Baqir, would then take the leadership of the Shiite believers upon the death of his father until the rise of the Abbasids and the fall of the Umayyads. This is the correct chronological order. Imam Jafar had more freedom than his father and grandfather in preaching and educating people since the two factions were indulged in a civil war and were too busy to focus on the matters of the Shiites and the Alawite (Alite). It is because of this, Shiites are sometimes known as "Jafarites" after Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq, since he worked on spreading the faith and teachings to wider circles of the population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonelytj (talk • contribs) 15:38, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
