Analysis of the Necessity of the Caliph and its Adaptation to the Imam Mahdi (aj) from the Perspective of Ayatollah Beladi Bushehri

This research, by analyzing the nature and type of divine caliphate, describes the necessity of Khalifah of Allah and Imam Mahdi (PBUH) being Khalifa of Allah based on the views of Ayatollah Beladi Bushehri. In his view, the philosophy of the work of the divine prophets and the philosophy of the installation and appointment of Imam is related to the position of Imam Mahdi's Caliph of Allah. This position, the Imam Mahdi (PBUH) Caliphate, is the manifestation of the divine mercy and the offering of grace and of the traditions of God, for the creation of the caliph of Allah. The persistence of the goals of the Prophets, including the thinking and intellectual authority, the preservation and continuation of the Sharia, the continuity of guidance, the protection of religion from its distortion and their proper implementation are the essential components of the need for the Khalifah of Allah in the field of theology. From the point of view of Allama Beladi, the difference between the caliph of Allah, the Khalifa al-Rasul and the Imam, Imam Mahdi (AS) is not inherent in all attributes, authorities and actions, except for prophecy like prophets.
