Ash’ari theology is one of the most popular theological schools of thought among Sunni Muslims, founded by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash’ari. Ash’ari discourse is characterized by a rational-transmission approach, although its transmission aspect is more prominent. Ash’ari theologians, utilizing this method, have examined matters of belief. Imamate is among the issues addressed in their theological works. Since they do not believe in the inherent good or evil of things by reason alone, they consider the necessity of an Imamate as transmitted (traditional), viewing it as part of Islamic jurisprudence and secondary Islamic rulings, not as a fundamental principle of faith. Hence, they see its obligation as upon the people, not upon God. According to the Ash’arites, essential qualities of an Imam include being male, mature, just, free, and rational. They believe that the Imam’s duties include managing the Islamic community, establishing security and comfort, ensuring social justice, protecting the borders of the Islamic community, striving in the path of God, and securing the public’s sustenance. According to Ash’arites, textual evidence, selection by the people of resolution and contract, and dominance are methods for determining an Imam. Their views on Imamate have been subject to the critique of other theologians, particularly the Imamiyyah theologians.

One of the most important problems regarding the point of view of the Ahl al-Hadith on the issue of Imamate is the lack of comprehensive attention to the essential attributes of the Imam, as well as the issue of obeying a cruel Imam, and one of the important problems with the view of the Bakriyya sect is the absence of a text on the Imamate of those who, according to the Bakriyya, They are imams and successors of the Prophet.

Imamate along with various approaches has been regarded of particular place in the history of Islamic thought. God, the Exalted, has presented it in some Quranic verses also and Fariqain commentators have presented various views on imamate under the verses. The paper has intended to study Sunni views in the field. as is understood, Sunni commentators have viewed imamate as is perceived by its word, that is, being an example and a purpose and some viewed as prophecy. As is concluded in the paper, generally saying, some Sunni commentators have known imamate as something not independent of prophecy.
