Twelve Imams In Quran And Sunna

This paper tries to answer muslem's fundamental question, specially the educated class, about the number of imams and true successors of the holy prophet(s) from Quran and Sunna, particularly, from the verse: "TRULY, THE NUMBER OF MONTHS ARE FOURTEEN FOR GODAND IN QURAN", by the help of its logical and literal proofs as well as twelve Imam's narrations about the verse. Because, if the number were to be mentioned in the very wordings of Quran, certainely, it would be resulted in distortion and replacement of false names and, consequently, Muslims would conflict devastatingly with one another and worst of all was the result of unreliability of quran. therefore quran indirectly calls Hadhrat Fatima as KAWTHAR (heavenly spring) and Imam Ali (A) as Qamar (Moon). Of course, Quran is an everlasting miracle. It has several kindes of verses: firm and clear verses, analogous ones, homonymies, subtleties, realities and verses with several layers; with this classification, everyone and every muslim, no matter a jurist, a philosopher, or a gnostic, all can be benefited by Quran. In interpreting and paraphrasing, the verse we argue based on Sunny sources to prove the rightfulness of twelvers.
