        1 - Theological foundations for the theory of guardianship of the jurist

        According to the theological arguments, guardianship and authority in its origin belongs to Allah SWT. He is the creator, the Lord, the Guardian of the whole existence. Therefor authority or guardianship of anyone else is illicit, unless the one that is permitted by Him. Having authority over others without His permission is regarded to be unacceptable, false, oppression and transgressing other people’s rights. This guardianship of Allah SWT is manifested as a divine Grace by sending of the prophets and is maintained by the infallible Imams. Since divine Grace is one of the attributes of Allah SWT and His attributes are not subject to alteration, this wise Grace is to be constant at the time of occultation as well. Here the necessity of the guardianship of the jurists as the closest people to the attributes of the infallible Imams and the most trustworthy one’s to handle the tempting position of leadership, in order to protect and continue the course of Imamate and guidance, is comprehended. This also seems to be a necessary Grace from Allah SWT. Manuscript profile

Shiite theologians generally theological issues related to the concept of the Imamate of Imam independently pay only the same definition by defining Sunnis have offered it.

        The Imamate of the Imam in society as the proof of God among the people and his presence until the end of the world, and that the earth is not a second without God's authority, is not a new issue in Islam, and especially in the Shite, it has been emphasized in the correct narratives of the infallibles (AS) in the famous books of hadith, such as the Osol Kafi and Vafi and Baharol’Anvar , and so on, and Islamic scholars have also written the valuable books in this regard. But the present paper examines this issue not through the narratives but according to the views of Allamah Tabataba’i in The interpretation of the great al-Mizan. Allameh (RA) considers the necessity of the existence of the infallible Imam and God's authority in the earth to the end of the world even until the hereafter as a necessity of the truth of Imamate from the viewpoint of the Quran. Allameh considers the eventual occurrence of such an event in the time of the infallible Imam Mahdi (AJ) and with the general government of monotheistic religion. Manuscript profile

        reverence of excessive ignorance means that a truth is hidden and a person remain in his/her ignorance or means that mentioning against truth. This sometimes is lawful and correct including mentioning something against truth and sometimes is illegal like as considering the miracle for false prophet which is impossible for God ; because this is considered as cruelty and breach. The rule of enormity of reverence of excessive ignorance is one of the most important ones. research and study in the domain of this rule will show that mentioned rule is used to prove issues like as incumbency of benefice to God , the necessity of duty for human , the necessity of sending prophet , the necessity of appointing Imam , certainty of chastity of prophet and imam , the indication of miracle on the honesty of prophet. This study has been carried out by library and report- analytic methods and has investigated the different uses of this rule in scholastic theology and has determined that this rule is used in important issues of theology. At the final section of the study , the most important reasons of enormity of reverence of excessive ignorance to God like as the rule of congruity of cause and effect , the rule of rational enormity and virtue and the impossibility of ignoring intention have been studied Manuscript profile

        6 - A Comparative Study of the Imamate Problem in Al-Manar's Commentary and Tasnim's Commentary

        Imamate and velayat are among the keywords of the Quran and one of the most fundamental theological discussions between Shiites and Sunnis. Shiite commentators and theologians believe that the verses of the Qur'an are proof of the Imamate of Ali (AS) and Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and according to the rational arguments and authentic narrations of the Prophet (PBUH), they believe that the Imamate is an appointed matter by the Almighty. And the earth will never be devoid of divine authority. The Sunni scholars have cast doubt on the Shia interpretation of these verses. Mohammed Abda and Rashid Reza (the owners of the commentary on al-Manar) have been influenced by Ibn Taymiyyah and the Wahhabi theology. Shi'ite commentators, including Ayatollah Javadi Amoli in Tasnim's commentary, have attempted to respond to these doubts and find strong evidence to prove the verses of the Imamate. Since the issue of Imamate is one of the most controversial among the Islamic doctrinal disputes, the aim of this study is to compare the views of theologians and the lesser commentators. The purpose of this study is to compare the two views and to express the disagreement between the two interpretations of Sunni and Shiite indexes. After quoting seven verses and quoting authentic narrations from the hadith assemblies of Farrqin, the views of al-Mannar (as an example of contemporary Sunni scholars) and the views of Tasnim (as an example of contemporary Shiite scholars) are outlined. This research is organized in a descriptive-analytical manner, relying on library data. Manuscript profile

        7 - Semantics of the word "caliph" in the Qur'an And its relevance to the topic of "Imamate" with emphasis on companions

        The semantic approach and attention to conceptual relationships by providing systematic solutions discover new semantic levels in Qur'anic research and provide the context for understanding the meaning of vocabulary without any presupposition.The term "caliph" is one of the important Qur'anic concepts related to the "Imamate", which deals with issues in the Qur'anic reading of this term in Islamic theology. Therefore, the exact explanation of this term and the discovery of how it is related to the position of Imamate is necessary. Therefore, the present article uses a descriptive analytical method to understand the meaningful elements of the "caliph" and its adaptation to the position of "Imamate". The analysis of the verses including the term "caliph" and its derivatives based on the conjunctions and the combinations of the term in the text of the verses and the discovery of its semantic components led to the discovery of the meaning of the term "caliph" and the adaptation of the position of "prophecy" and " Imamate "has been named" califah Allah ".The Caliphate among the people is followed by chase, afterlife and time delay, but in the succession of man by God, it has a qualitative delay and contains the highest sacred and spiritual authority. Considering the semantic components of the "caliph" in the Qur'an and considering the companions of this term, all divine forgeries in the affairs of theatrical and the developmental are to the divine will, and the existence of traits such as faith, good deed and science is necessary for the position of the substitute. Therefore, the concept of the word caliph corresponds to the subject of Imamate in the Shiite epistemic system. Manuscript profile

        The premise of this research is to presuppose the infallibility and virtues of Hazrat Zahra S, which is expressed in the sources of the sects, as well as the transformation of her Imamatelessness based on the acceptable hadith of the sects, "who is dead ..."The proof of Imamate and Caliphate has been presented by relying on his positive and negative sayings and actions in the form of two logical analogical and exceptional analogies. Citing protests against Imamate texts, his outspoken defense of Imam Ali's leadership in the Fadakiyah sermon and his conversations with women visiting him, and his belief in Imam Ali's Imamate, citing specific behaviors such as night insinuations, uprising for debate and sermons. ProvedBy not believing in the caliphate, the claimants of the caliphate also cited negative statements such as expressing anger, expressing anger, threatening to curse and negative behaviors such as "non-violent speech", "practical obstruction of forced allegiance" and "will to bury the grave". The groundwork for proving the Imamate of Imam Ali (as) has been laid. Manuscript profile

By Historical analysis of these differences and conflicts, which sometimes led to internal divisions, we clearly notice that all of them were based on the Imamate and its affairs and examples. In this paper, based on ancient historical and narrative sources, the author seeks to explain the differences that the companions of the Imams had about the examples and determination of the nobles of Imamate. It is clear that the discussion of the views of the early Shiites on the role and characteristics as well as the causes of sectarian. Manuscript profile

        One of the fundamental issues in Shiite beliefs is the relationship between Imamate and Khatamiyya; according to the Shiite view, not only is there no incompatibility between Imamate and Khatamiyya, but there is also a connection. The position of Imamate is alongside the position of prophethood, and the purpose of Khatamiyya will not be fulfilled except by Imamate. However, some Sunni scholars and religious intellectuals have criticized this connection. In this study, based on reliable and scholarly documents and with the help of the principle of Khatamiyya, we try to examine, evaluate and criticize the most important doubts raised about the affairs of the Infallible Imam in Shiite theology; including the Imam's relationship with the unseen world, legislative guardianship, the authority of the word and the religious authority of the Imams. The criterion of prophecy is "receiving direct revelation from God" and "independent authority"; this is while the Shiites, on the one hand, consider their Imams to have authority based on the Prophet and through him, and on the other hand, they believe the acquisition of truths by the Imam indirectly through the legacy of the Prophet. By explaining the ambiguities and answering them, it becomes clear that the Shiite approach in interpreting the principle of Khatamiyya, which is reflected in the holy Qur'an, the Prophetic tradition and common sense, is the only approach that justifies Khatamiyya and causes the continuation of the divine mission and guardianship.

        11 - A Study of the Scholastic and Theological Concepts of Gnosticism in Isma'ilism (Imamate and the interpretive and esoteric realm of the Holy Word)

        Gnosticism was a combination of the manifestation of divine light in man and his coming out of the dark world of matter. In Gnosticism, knowledge is a divine and intuitive thing that does not appear except in the light of a single truth. The influence of Gnostic wisdom throughout history has been profound and far-reaching. For example, one of the most important teachings that entered the Shiite currents from Gnosticism is dualism or duplicity, according to which existence is the arena of constant struggle between good and evil. In addition, the humiliation of the body as the place of matter and evil is another major theme of Gnosticism that emerged among the Shiite mystical sects, especially the Isma'ilism and the Gholat. Gnostics believe that knowledge is not a rational thing, but more than anything else is empirical and based on mystical revelations and is obtains by knowing the soul and its nature and destiny. In Gnostic theology, man has a very prominent place. He, created from body, soul and spirit, has a dual origin: one is material and the other is spiritual. According to some Gnostic texts, the Creator created the human body and his soul originated from the Almighty. Accordingly, in most of the early Shiite currents, we see the emergence of major concepts of Gnosticism such as duality, the deity of man in the position of the Infallible Imam (AS) and the interpretive and symbolic aspect of the holy books. The Isma'ilism were one of the most important Shiite sects that received the most influence from Gnostic wisdom. The influence of Gnosticism in the Isma'ilism was mainly representing in the field of Imamate and interpretation of the Holy Word. In fact, the constant existence of the Imam as a direct manifestation of divine grace, mercy, and knowledge is one of the direct effects of Gnosticism in the Ismaili religion. In Gnosticism, in order to understand the true and esoteric knowledge of Gnosticism, the existence of a divine source is necessary, and in Isma'ilism, this source is the Imam. Interpretation and knowledge of outward and inward matters was also one of the basic principles of Gnosticism, which had a profound effect on the Isma'ilism. Manuscript profile

        Abu Sahl Ismail Ibn Ali Nobakhti is one of the famous Shiites and is known as the Sheikh of the Imamiyya theologians in the Age of Absence. They have been. Considering the formation of conflict in the two fields of thought and theology before Abu Sahl and the reproduction of these ideas in the scholars and theologians of later ages, the study of this period is of utmost importance. Many Shiite principles and beliefs about the Imamate and the Age of Absence are formed in this period. However, the services of Abu Sahl al-Nubakhti can be explained in two levels: political services and scientific services to the Shiite community. This article is reconstructed by the method of logic and with reference to first-hand sources, examines the views and political-theological ideas of Abu Sahl during the period of his minor absence.

        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.

        People's awareness of the honesty of the people who claim the divine position depends on the statement of rational and narrative reasons. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) stated numerous narrative and intellectual reasons about the twelve imams (a.s.). In addition, each of the imams (a.s.) also stated reasons for the righteousness of the next imam. Regardless of the arguments put forward by other infallibles in this regard, every imam has sometimes referred to hadiths from the Prophet (pbuh) or previous imams and sometimes based on rational arguments and introduced himself as the Imam and successor of the Prophet (pbuh). The current research, which used the library method in collecting the materials and the analytical method in the field of thinking, seeks to know what the behavioral process of the imams (pbuh) was in using rational evidence to prove their righteousness. The findings of the research show that the imams (a.s.) have gone through the following five processes in expressing rational arguments to the temporal relationships and the perceptive level of the audience: expressing merit towards the caliphate, trying to preserve values, increasing knowledge, scientific superiority, expressing superiority in establishing World monotheistic government.
