Imam Jafar-e-Sadeq He was ahead of the world by a thousand years in his scientific revelations

I come in the line of his progeny. This great and angelic personality is my ancestor. A personality who was the son of Imam Mohammad Baqar son of Imam Zainulabedeen son of Imam Hussain son of Hazrat Ali Alaihes Salam son of Abu Talib. His grandfather named him Jafar. His mother's name was Umme Farwa. He was the 6th Imam and founder of the Ja'fari School of Jurisprudence according to Twelver and Isma'ili Shi'ites. Al-Sadiq was born in 702 AD. He earned the title of `Sadiq' during his lifetime on account of his sublime knowledge of everything scientific and logical. He started a school in Madina at the tender age of fifteen. He was always acquiring knowledge about the mysteries of the universe. His school became famous all over Arabia. His pupils include Jaffar bin Hayyan, Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Nu'maa and Hisham ibn al-Hakam. The first pearls of wisdom on medical science saw the light of day through Imam Jafar Alaihes Salam. As a Shi’a Imam, al-Sadiq stayed out of the political conflicts that embroiled the region, evading the many requests for support that he received from rebels. He was the first person who proved that the elements found in the soil of this earth are all present in the human body. He quoted twenty important elements - among them hydrogen, iron, calcium, zinc, sulphur and fluorine. He also mentioned that eating meat of animals reduced the life span of people. He warned against extravagance in eating and drinking. He also said that drinking milk with seafood may lead to leukoderma and break in pigmentation of skin. He was way ahead of his years when he talked abot the contagiousness of viruses that spread from people's breath when they are ill. After doing research, this was proved right almost eleven hundred years after his death. He warned that meddling with nature and spreading carbon waste in the atmosphere will create all kinds of respiratory diseases. He has recommended that mothers should keep their infants close to their hearts when they put them to sleep as the infants are used to the rhythm of the heartbeats of their mothers when they are in the womb. Imam Jafar also said that water can create fire if you take the single element of oxygen away from it, leaving the two elements of hydrogen to be flammable. He talked about the hills on the moon and people laughed at him. When the telescope was invented, people were shocked to know about his truth. He told people not to underestimate the size of the tiny stars they saw up in the celestial bodies; he said even though they look tiny but some of them would even be larger than the sun we are used to see. What I am trying to say here is that he spoke about such mysteries of the universe to ignorant and ungrateful Arabs and it took more than a thousand years for European scientists to prove him right. He even taught his people the science of mathematics and Al-Jabr (Algebra). His teachings and traditions were carried down in generations of time by some four hundred pupils of his who documented his teachings.
