Muhammad ibn ʿAli ibn al-Husayn ibn ʿAli ibn Abi Talib (b. 57/677 – d. 114/733) known as Imam al-Baqir (AS) and Baqir al-‘Ulum, was the fifth Shia Imam, whose period of Imamate lasted nineteen years.
Imam al-Baqir (AS) made a great scientific movement which reached its peak at the time of his son Imam al-Sadiq (AS).
During his imamate, a great step was taken towards organization of Shia thought in different fields including ethics, jurisprudence, theology, exegesis, etc. According to historical sources he was present at Battle of Karbala as a child.
