The Knowledge of the Imam, his Truth and Sources

Abstract

The Imamate is one of the important issues for the Imami Shiites. Rather, it is obligatory for all the sons of Islamic sects, even if they differ in the mechanism of identifying and diagnosing the Imam. The Imami Shiites require that the pure imams be from the people of the Prophet’s House by being the most knowledgeable of the people about the knowledge of Islamic Sharia, its teachings and rulings, the Holy Qur’an and its sciences, the interpretation of its verses, its statement and clarification. Their meanings, as well as they were aware and familiar with many facts and various knowledge, in political, economic, health, historical, social and other sciences, and beyond that knowledge to the extent that they were told of things that were not known to them unless there was a metaphysical aspect that enabled them to do so, especially if we take into account They were not taught by other people.. The scholars mentioned many ways for them to receive knowledge, which can be included under two types of methods: natural and metaphysical. In order to become more clear, we must shed light on them.
