The choice of the name of "Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq (p) has not been a title for the university by chance or a fleeting desire. Rather, the choice of this blessed name came to draw the dimensions of the university’s identity and deepen its goals in the hearts of its employees and students, because everyone believes that Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (p) has an influential scientific role, and the leading cultural figure in Islamic life. The scholars of Islam also acknowledge his great influence on the emergence and development of the science of jurisprudence at the hands of imams of schools, as well as his great role in establishing other sciences.
