Guardianship and Sanctity the Most Important Feature in the Imam

The writer of this article has tried to clarify and explain the essence of “guardianship” to make its application known to the readers. The conclusion that has been taken from this writing is that the Guardian (Friend of God) is endowed with the element of being heavenly enjoying the power of intervening in Creation. The difference in the great prophet of God was that in addition to the position of Guardianship, he also possessed the status of receiving Revelations from God and conveying them to people after his interpreting and explaining them. However, the holy prophet and the Imams have all the religious authority and are the source of religious imitation. They are in charge of leadership for the government of the people.So the twelfth and the last Imam, the Proof of God, enjoy all the above authorities except receiving Revelations. This divine personage is and will be present among the people as long as the world and its inhabitants exist until God’s faver will apply to all men and women and for him to appear.The first part of this writing includes the introducing of the Imam briefly, indicating his position and his personageOn the other hand, Ahmad-al-Kateb denies that there has been an Imam named the Proof of God, son of Imam Hassan Askari and also, he has raised some doubts regarding the traditions for the twelve Imams (PBU them). In summary, he wants to say that those traditions are fictitious being made up in the 4th century. He believes that no one may refer to such hadiths as documented.In this writing, we will try to criticize and give reasons against Ahmad’s claims.
