Imam Reza (AS) is the eighth infallible Shiite Imam and successor of the final holy Prophet (PBUH). His name is Ali, and among all his other names and titles the most famous honorary one is “Reza”, which means ‘satisfaction’. But why was he called this name?
According to his son, Imam Jawad (AS), “The Almighty Allah named him Reza because He was pleased with him in the heavens and the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) and the Imams of guidance (AS) were pleased with him on earth” [1]. In fact, Imam Reza (AS)’s moral qualities and virtues were so great that even his enemies were attracted to and admired him. You might wonder what these traits are!
