Existential Guardianship of Wayfarer in Holy Quran With Special Reference to Imam Khomeini's Viewpoints

The existential guardianship is an order, comprising of suborders, which manifests the absolute Divine guardianship in all positions and dimensions. According to the Quranic verses, the universe has been created based on manifestation of Divine essence in the form of names and attributes. The multiplicity of Divine attributes is so that whatever happening in the world of creation is based on a Divine name and any name, depending upon its requirement, will have consequences in the universe. On this basis, absolute guardianship of God in the entire universe will be nonstop, indivisible, and integrated. In view of Imam Khomeini the guardianship of God has been manifested in perfect man with the glorious name of Allah, which is the Grand Name of God, directly and without any intermediary, and in other creatures by other intermediary names. He believes that the title of perfect man is exclusive to the Muhammedan Truth and his disciples but other human beings as wayfarers through tearing apart the veil of egoism and ego-centrism can meet the stage of proximity under obedience and attain the position of proximity to supererogatory gain the power of domination of mundane forces. He considers supererogatory proximity as the first stage of Wilaya or guardianship and maintains that the ultimate stage is proximity of obligatory rites and rituals in whose light the servant turns into ears and eyes of The Truth.
