The Necessity and Methodology of Imamate Problem with Emphasis on Islamic Lifestyle

Lifestyle is the combination of internal and external affairs of a person's life. Internal matters such as: insights and tendencies and external matters such as: behaviors, situations and assets; Lifestyle includes all areas of human life, not one or more specific areas; Lifestyle refers to the totality of a person's life, not individual behaviors, tendencies, or insights.Imamate, as the first controversial issue of Islamic history and thought, has a basic and central meaning: the succession of the Prophet in the matter of guidance, guardianship of the Islamic society and resolution of differences and crises in the society. "Imamate" was the Shiite vision of the crisis and its solution, while "Khilafah" is the Sunni vision of the crisis of leadership after the Prophet. The present study examines the perspective of the leadership of the Islamic society and the succession of the Prophet of Islam from the perspective of one of the thinkers and theologians of the middle ages of Shiism, namely Abul Fatah Karajeki, with a descriptive and analytical method. According to the Shia belief, imamate is the continuity of prophecy and written texts from Almighty God, and true faith cannot be realized except by accepting it. This belief was doubted and denied among Sunnis. Since the issue has historical roots, it is necessary to refer to the advanced sources of the parties.Karajeki is one of the advanced thinkers who has a clear, precise and scientific theoretical approach to the problem of Imamate. However, this perspective and his views are still unknown. Based on this, the present research aims to investigate and analyze the methodology and necessity of the issue of Imamate from Karajeki's point of view, as well as the analysis of his seventeen principles regarding Sunni assumptions about the issue of Imamate, to explain and analyze the issue of the necessity of Imamate. The result obtained is that he considers the origin of Imam's need to preserve Sharia and continue the Prophet's mission. As a result, Imamate is seen as a completely theological issue.
