'''Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr''' ({{lang-ar|محمد باقر الصدر|translit=Muḥammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr}}; 1 March 1935 – 9 April 1980), also known as '''al-Shahid al-Khamis''' ({{lang-ar|الشهيد الخامس|translit=al-Shahīd al-Khāmis|lit=the fifth martyr}}), was an Iraqi Islamic scholar, philosopher, and the ideological founder of the [[Islamic Dawa Party]], born in [[Kadhimiya|al-Kadhimiya]], [[Iraq]]. He was father-in-law to [[Muqtada al-Sadr]], a cousin of [[Muhammad Sadeq al-Sadr]] and Imam [[Musa as-Sadr]]. His father [[Haydar al-Sadr]] was a well-respected high-ranking Shi'a cleric. His lineage can be traced back to [[Muhammad]] through the seventh Shia Imam [[Musa al-Kadhim|Musa al-Kazim]]. Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was executed in 1980 by the regime of [[Saddam Hussein]] along with his sister, [[Amina Sadr bint al-Huda]].


==Biography==
'''Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr''' ([[March 1]], [[1935]]? - [[April 9]], [[1980]]) was an [[Iraq]]i [[Shia]] cleric. He was a distant uncle of [[Muqtada al-Sadr]], and second cousin of [[Mohammad Sadeq al-Sadr]].
===Early life and education===
Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was born in [[Kadhimiya|al-Kazimiya]], [[Iraq]] to the prominent [[Sadr (name)|Sadr]] family, which originated from [[Jabal Amel]] in Lebanon. His father died in 1937, leaving the family destitute. In 1945, the family moved to the holy city of [[Najaf]], where al-Sadr would spend the rest of his life. He was a [[child prodigy]] who, at 10, was delivering lectures on [[Islamic history]]. At eleven, he was a student of [[logic]]. He wrote a book criticizing materialist [[philosophy]] when he was 24.<ref>Baqir Al-Sadr, ''Our Philosophy'', [[Taylor and Francis]], 1987, [https://books.google.com/books?id=vikOAAAAQAAJ&dq=Musa+al+Sadr%2Bphilosophy&pg=PR13 p. xiii]</ref>{{Self-published source|date=April 2022}}{{primary source inline|date=April 2022}} Al-Sadr completed his religious studies at religious seminaries under [[al-Khoei]] and [[Muhsin al-Hakim]], and began teaching at the age of 25.


===Struggle against Saddam Hussein===
According to his followers he was born in [[Kazimain]] in March 1935. Part of the prominent al-Sadr family of theologians, he was the son of Ayatollah [[Haydar al-Sadr]]. However his father died in 1937, leaving the family penniless. In 1945 the family moved to the holy city of [[Najaf]], where al-Sadr would spend the rest of his life. Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr completed his religious teachings at religious seminaries at the age of 25 and began teaching.
Al-Sadr's works attracted the ire of the [[Baath Party]], leading to repeated imprisonment where he was often tortured. Despite this, he continued his work after being released.<ref name= 'A1'>{{cite news |last1=Al Asaad |first1=Sondoss |title=38 Years After Saddam's Heinous Execution of the Phenomenal Philosopher Ayatollah Al-Sadr and his Sister |url=https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2018/04/09/38-years-after-saddams-heinous-execution-of-the-phenomenal-philosopher-ayatollah-al-sadr-and-his-sister/ |access-date=March 9, 2019 |agency=Modern Diplomacy |publisher=moderndiplomacy.eu |date=April 9, 2018}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=April 2022}} When the Ba'athists arrested Al-Sadr in 1977, his sister [[Amina Sadr bint al-Huda]] made a speech in the Imam Ali mosque in Najaf inviting the people to demonstrate. Many demonstrations were held, forcing the Ba'athists to release Al-Sadr who was placed under house arrest.


In 1979–1980, [[1979–80 Shia uprising in Iraq|anti-Ba'ath riots]] arose in [[Shia Islam in Iraq|Iraq's Shia areas]] by groups who were working toward an Islamic revolution in their country.<ref name=efraimkarsh>{{cite book|title=The Iran–Iraq War: 1980–1988|pages=1–8, 12–16, 19–82|author=Karsh, Efraim |publisher=Osprey Publishing |date=April 25, 2002 |isbn=978-1841763712}}</ref> Hussein and his deputies believed that the riots had been inspired by the [[Iranian Revolution]] and instigated by Iran's government.<ref name="Farrokh 03">{{cite book|last=Farrokh|first=Kaveh|title=Iran at War: 1500–1988|date=December 20, 2011|publisher=Osprey Publishing|location=Oxford|isbn=978-1-78096-221-4}}</ref>{{page number|date=April 2022}} In the aftermath of Iran's revolution, Iraq's Shia community called on Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr to be their "Iraqi [[Ayatollah Khomeini]]", leading a revolt against the Ba'ath regime.<ref name=brookings>{{Cite web | url=https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2019/03/11/iraqs-failed-uprising-after-the-1979-iranian-revolution/ | title=Iraq's failed uprising after the 1979 Iranian revolution| date=March 11, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Cockburn |first1=Patrick |title=Muqtada Al-Sadr and the Battle for the Future of Iraq |date=2008 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |isbn=978-1-4391-4119-9 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sbBH47BJfMsC&q=baqir+sadr+Iraq+Khomeini+revolution&pg=PA27 |access-date=March 24, 2020 |language=en}}</ref> Community leaders, tribal heads, and hundreds of ordinary members of the public paid their allegiance to al-Sadr.<ref name=brookings/> Protests then erupted in [[Baghdad]] and the predominantly Shia provinces of the south in May 1979.<ref name=brookings/> For nine days, protests against the regime unfolded, but were suppressed by the regime.<ref name=brookings/> The cleric's imprisonment led to another wave of protests in June after a seminal, powerful appeal from al-Sadr's sister, Bint al-Huda.

While teaching he became a prominent member of the Iraqi Shia community, and was noted for his many writings. His first works were detailed critics of [[Marxism]] that presented early ideas of an alternative Islamic form of government. Perhaps his most important work was ''Iqtisaduna'', one of the most important works on [[Islamic economics]]. This work was a critique of both socialism and capitalism. He was subsequently commissioned by the government of [[Kuwait]] to assess how that countries oil wealth could be managed in keeping with Islamic principles. This led to a major work on [[Islamic banking]] that still forms the basis for modern Islamic banks.


===Execution===
He also worked with [[Sayed Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim]] in forming an [[Islamist]] movement in Iraq. This attracted the attention of the [[Baath Party]] and resulted in numerous imprisonments for Ayatollah al-Sadr. He was often subjugated to torture during his imprisonments, but continued his work after being released. One of the founders of modern Islamist thought he is credited with first developing the notion, later put in operation in Iran, of having western style democratic elections, but with a body of Muslim scholars to ensure all laws corresponded with Islamic teachings. He was a close ally and supporter of [[Ayatollah Khomeni]], but maintained a more moderate view than him.
Baqir al-Sadr was arrested on April 5, 1980, with his sister, Sayyidah bint al-Huda.<ref name= 'A2'>{{cite news |last1=Al Asaad |first1=Sondoss |title=The ninth of April, the martyrdom of the Sadrs |url=https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/422510/The-ninth-of-April-the-martyrdom-of-the-Sadrs |access-date=March 9, 2019 |agency=Tehran Times|publisher=tehrantimes.com |date=April 10, 2018}}</ref> They had formed a powerful militant movement in opposition to [[Saddam Hussein]]'s regime.<ref name ='A3'/>

In [[1977]], he was sentenced to life in prison following uprisings in Najaf, but was released two years later due to his immense popularity. Upon his release however, he was put under house arrest. In [[1980]], after writing in the defense of Khomeni and the [[Islamic Revolution]], Sadr was once again imprisoned, tortured, and executed by the regime of [[Saddam Hussein]]. His sister, [[Amina Sadr bint al-Huda]], was also imprisoned, tortured, and executed.

Using his knowledge of the [[Quran]] and a subject-based approach to [[Quranic exegesis]], Al-Sadr extracted two concepts from the Holy text in relation to governance:
*''khilafat al-insan'' (Man as heir or trustee of God) and
* ''shahadat al-anbiya'' (Prophets as witnesses).
Al-Sadr explained that throughout history there have been "...two lines. Man's line and the Prophet's line. The line of Man is the ''khalifa'' (trustee) who inherits the earth from God; the line of the Prophet is the ''shahid'' (witness)".<ref name="Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr 1979, p.132">Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr, ''Al-Islam yaqud al-hayat'', Qum, 1979, p.132</ref>

Al-Sadr demonstrated that ''[[khilafa]]'' (governance) is "a right given to the whole of humanity" and defined it as an obligation given from God to the human race to "tend the globe and administer human affairs". This was a major advancement of [[Political aspects of Islam|Islamic political theory]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Walberg |first1=Eric |title=From Postmodernism to Postsecularism: Re-emerging Islamic Civilization |date=2013 |publisher=SCB Distributors |isbn=978-0-9860362-4-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jYpXDwAAQBAJ |access-date=March 22, 2020 |language=en}}</ref>

While Al-Sadr identified ''khilafa'' as the obligation and right of the people, he used a broad-based explanation of Quranic verse 5:44<ref>[[Quran 5:44]]</ref> to identify who held the responsibility of ''shahada'' in an Islamic state. First were the Prophets (anbiya'). Second were the Imams who are considered a divine (''rabbani'') continuation of the Prophets in this line. The last were the ''marja'iyya'' (''see [[Marja'|Marja]]'').<ref>Baqir Al-Sadr, ''Al-Islam yaqud al-hayat'', Qum, 1979, p.24</ref>

While the two functions of ''khilafa'' and ''shahada'' (supervision and witness ) were united during the times of the Prophets, they diverged during [[The Occultation|the occultation]] so that ''khilafa'' returned to the people (''umma'') and ''shahada'' to the scholars.<ref>Faleh A Jabar, The Shi'ite Movement in Iraq, London: Saqi Books, 2003, p.286</ref>

Al-Sadr 's practical application of how
''khilafa'', would be returned to the [Muslim] people in the absence of the twelfth Imam was with the establishment of a democratic system, whereby the people regularly elect their representatives in government:
<blockquote>Islamic theory rejects monarchy as well as the various forms of dictatorial government; it also rejects the aristocratic regimes and proposes a form of government, which contains all the positive aspects of the democratic system.<ref>Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr, Lamha fiqhiya, p.20</ref></blockquote>
He continued to champion this point until his final days:

<blockquote>Lastly, I demand, in the name of all of you and in the name of the values you uphold, to allow the people the opportunity truly to exercise their right in running the affairs of the country by holding elections in which a council representing the ummah (people) could truly emerge.' ''<ref>Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr, Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence, London: ICAS, 2003, p.15</ref></blockquote>

Al-Sadr was executed by [[Saddam Hussein]] in 1980 before he was able to provide any details of the mechanism for the practical application of the ''shahada'' concept in an Islamic state. A few elaborations of ''shahada'' can be found in Al-Sadr's works. In his text ''Role of the Shiah Imams in the Reconstruction of Islamic Society'', Al-Sadr illustrates the scope and limitations of ''shahada'' by using the example of the third Shi'i Imam, [[Hussein ibn Ali]] (the grandson of Muhammad), who defied [[Yazid I|Yazid]], the ruler at the time. Al-Sadr explained that Yazid was not simply acting counter to Islamic teachings, as many rulers before and after him had done, but he was distorting the teachings and traditions of Islam and presenting his deviant ideas as representative of Islam itself. This, therefore, is what led Imam Hussein to intervene challenging Yazid in order to restore the true teachings of Islam, and consequently laying down his own life. In Al-Sadr's own words, the ''shahid's'' (witness – person performing ''shahada'' or supervision) duties are "to protect the correct doctrines and to see that deviations do not grow to the extent of threatening the ideology itself".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hadad |first1=Sama |title=The Development of Shi'ite Islamic Political Theory |journal=Dissent and Reform in the Arab World |date=2008 |pages=32–40 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep03025.7 |access-date=March 22, 2020 |publisher=American Enterprise Institute}}</ref>

Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr (Arabic: محمد باقر الصدر, romanized: Muḥammad Bāqir al-Ṣadr; 1 March 1935 – 9 April 1980), also known as al-Shahid al-Khamis (Arabic: الشهيد الخامس, romanized: al-Shahīd al-Khāmis, lit. 'the fifth martyr'), was an Iraqi Islamic scholar, philosopher, and the ideological founder of the Islamic Dawa Party, born in al-Kadhimiya, Iraq. He was father-in-law to Muqtada al-Sadr, a cousin of Muhammad Sadeq al-Sadr and Imam Musa as-Sadr. His father Haydar al-Sadr was a well-respected high-ranking Shi'a cleric. His lineage can be traced back to Muhammad through the seventh Shia Imam Musa al-Kazim. Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was executed in 1980 by the regime of Saddam Hussein along with his sister, Amina Sadr bint al-Huda.

Biography

Early life and education

Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was born in al-Kazimiya, Iraq to the prominent Sadr family, which originated from Jabal Amel in Lebanon. His father died in 1937, leaving the family destitute. In 1945, the family moved to the holy city of Najaf, where al-Sadr would spend the rest of his life. He was a child prodigy who, at 10, was delivering lectures on Islamic history. At eleven, he was a student of logic. He wrote a book criticizing materialist philosophy when he was 24.[1][self-published source][non-primary source needed] Al-Sadr completed his religious studies at religious seminaries under al-Khoei and Muhsin al-Hakim, and began teaching at the age of 25.

Struggle against Saddam Hussein

Al-Sadr's works attracted the ire of the Baath Party, leading to repeated imprisonment where he was often tortured. Despite this, he continued his work after being released.[2][failed verification] When the Ba'athists arrested Al-Sadr in 1977, his sister Amina Sadr bint al-Huda made a speech in the Imam Ali mosque in Najaf inviting the people to demonstrate. Many demonstrations were held, forcing the Ba'athists to release Al-Sadr who was placed under house arrest.

In 1979–1980, anti-Ba'ath riots arose in Iraq's Shia areas by groups who were working toward an Islamic revolution in their country.[3] Hussein and his deputies believed that the riots had been inspired by the Iranian Revolution and instigated by Iran's government.[4][page needed] In the aftermath of Iran's revolution, Iraq's Shia community called on Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr to be their "Iraqi Ayatollah Khomeini", leading a revolt against the Ba'ath regime.[5][6] Community leaders, tribal heads, and hundreds of ordinary members of the public paid their allegiance to al-Sadr.[5] Protests then erupted in Baghdad and the predominantly Shia provinces of the south in May 1979.[5] For nine days, protests against the regime unfolded, but were suppressed by the regime.[5] The cleric's imprisonment led to another wave of protests in June after a seminal, powerful appeal from al-Sadr's sister, Bint al-Huda. Further clashes unfolded between the security forces and protestors. Najaf was put under siege and thousands were tortured and executed.[5] Al-Sadr issued a fatwa prohibiting membership in the ruling Ba'ath party. Called upon by the government to retract it he refused.[7]

Execution

Baqir al-Sadr was arrested on April 5, 1980, with his sister, Sayyidah bint al-Huda.[8] They had formed a powerful militant movement in opposition to Saddam Hussein's regime.[9]

On April 9, 1980, Al-Sadr and his sister were killed after being severely tortured by their captors.[2] Signs of torture could be seen on the bodies.[9][10][11]

An iron nail was hammered into Al-Sadr's head and he was then set on fire in Najaf.[2][8] It has been reported that Saddam Hussein himself killed them.[9] The Baathists delivered the bodies of Baqir al-Sadr and Bint al-Huda to their cousin Sayyid Mohammad al-Sadr.[9]

They were buried in the Wadi-us-Salaam graveyard in the holy city of Najaf the same night.[8] His execution raised no criticism from Western countries because Al-Sadr had openly supported Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran.[10]

Scholarship and ideas

The works by Baqir al-Sadr contains traditional Shia thoughts, while they also suggest ways Shia could "accommodate modernity".

The two major works by him are Iqtisaduna on Islamic economics, and Falsafatuna (Our Philosophy).[12] They were detailed critiques of Marxism that presented his early ideas on an alternative Islamic form of government. They were critiques of both socialism and capitalism. He was subsequently commissioned by the government of Kuwait to assess how that country's oil wealth could be managed in keeping with Islamic principles. This led to a major work on Islamic banking, which still forms the basis for modern Islamic banks.[13]

Using his knowledge of the Quran and a subject-based approach to Quranic exegesis, Al-Sadr extracted two concepts from the Holy text in relation to governance:

  • khilafat al-insan (Man as heir or trustee of God) and
  • shahadat al-anbiya (Prophets as witnesses).

Al-Sadr explained that throughout history there have been "...two lines. Man's line and the Prophet's line. The line of Man is the khalifa (trustee) who inherits the earth from God; the line of the Prophet is the shahid (witness)".[14]

Al-Sadr demonstrated that khilafa (governance) is "a right given to the whole of humanity" and defined it as an obligation given from God to the human race to "tend the globe and administer human affairs". This was a major advancement of Islamic political theory.[15]

While Al-Sadr identified khilafa as the obligation and right of the people, he used a broad-based explanation of Quranic verse 5:44[16] to identify who held the responsibility of shahada in an Islamic state. First were the Prophets (anbiya'). Second were the Imams who are considered a divine (rabbani) continuation of the Prophets in this line. The last were the marja'iyya (see Marja).[17]

While the two functions of khilafa and shahada (supervision and witness ) were united during the times of the Prophets, they diverged during the occultation so that khilafa returned to the people (umma) and shahada to the scholars.[18]

Al-Sadr 's practical application of how khilafa, would be returned to the [Muslim] people in the absence of the twelfth Imam was with the establishment of a democratic system, whereby the people regularly elect their representatives in government:

Islamic theory rejects monarchy as well as the various forms of dictatorial government; it also rejects the aristocratic regimes and proposes a form of government, which contains all the positive aspects of the democratic system.[19]

He continued to champion this point until his final days:

Lastly, I demand, in the name of all of you and in the name of the values you uphold, to allow the people the opportunity truly to exercise their right in running the affairs of the country by holding elections in which a council representing the ummah (people) could truly emerge.' [20]

Al-Sadr was executed by Saddam Hussein in 1980 before he was able to provide any details of the mechanism for the practical application of the shahada concept in an Islamic state. A few elaborations of shahada can be found in Al-Sadr's works. In his text Role of the Shiah Imams in the Reconstruction of Islamic Society, Al-Sadr illustrates the scope and limitations of shahada by using the example of the third Shi'i Imam, Hussein ibn Ali (the grandson of Muhammad), who defied Yazid, the ruler at the time. Al-Sadr explained that Yazid was not simply acting counter to Islamic teachings, as many rulers before and after him had done, but he was distorting the teachings and traditions of Islam and presenting his deviant ideas as representative of Islam itself. This, therefore, is what led Imam Hussein to intervene challenging Yazid in order to restore the true teachings of Islam, and consequently laying down his own life. In Al-Sadr's own words, the shahid's (witness – person performing shahada or supervision) duties are "to protect the correct doctrines and to see that deviations do not grow to the extent of threatening the ideology itself".[21]

The Logical Foundations of Induction

Main article: The Logical Foundations of Induction

One notable book that is considered by scholars to be a great achievement of al-Sadr is his book entitled The Logical Foundations of Induction.[22][23][24] This book represents the core of al-Sadr's attempt to give a rational logical foundation for growing knowledge by inductive means, and ultimately establish a new inductive logic termed by al-Sadr as the "Subjectivist Logic" (Arabic: المنطق الذاتي), that sets the logical rules for this type of knowledge growth.[25]

List of works
