A comparative study of the views of the Imams and Zaydis on the reasons for the superiority of the Shiite Imams over the previous prophets. The present study is a descriptive-analytical research that is effective in determining the research design of how data is collected, analyzed and reported. The method of data collection in leading research is the method of reviewing documents; For this purpose, the documents in the present study have been examined.
The issue of the superiority of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) over the prophets before the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is derived from the two discussions of prophethood and special Imamate in theology. According to the Zaydi school, the discussion of Imamate is based on several axes; 1- There is no difference between the position of the caliph and the Imam 2- The Imam has a political identity and nothing else 3- The worldview of this school is based on the fact that in the first place the angels, in the second place the prophets, in the third place the guardians and in the last and fourth place the Imams They are pure. 4- All the prophets in general are always superior to the Imams. Imamate and its critique by referring to the works of Shiite scholars on the superiority of the Imams (AS) is focused on three reasons:
The first reason is the superiority of the position of Imamate over the position of prophethood and mission. The second reason is the continuous hadith of Saqaleen, which considers the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) to be just and equal to the Qur'an. The third reason is the verse of Mubahila. Conclusion: Therefore, as a result of criticizing the Zaydi principles regarding the superiority of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) compared to the previous prophets, this statement has been proven according to the Imami principles.
