The issue of Imam's infallibility is one of the important theological issues that has been discussed among Muslim theologians with two main approaches. Many Shiite theologians are in favor of a maximalist view of the extent of the Imam's infallibility, and some believe in a minimalist approach. Some contemporary thinkers such as Modarresi Tabatabai, Kadivar, Soroush and Salehi Najafabadi, with a historical view of Shiite beliefs, follow a minimalist approach and believe that the first group's belief in the infallibility of the Imam has no background in the time of the Imams, but a view The maximum to the extent of Imam's infallibility has been created under the influence of external intellectual currents such as Ghalyan. The main reason for these people in proving the claim is based on mentioning historical evidence about the view of the companions of the Imams (AS) and tries to show that in the view of the companions of the Imams (AS), the Imams do not have infallibility and any maximum view of the infallibility of the Imam is denied by them. . In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate and analyze the views of contemporary modern thinkers about the infallibility of the Imam based on narrations and historical evidence and in a descriptive-analytical manner and with a critical approach. In the end, it is concluded that based on the narrations and historical evidences of the time of the Imams (as), the maximum view of the infallibility of the Imam is

The problem of Imam's knowledge is one of the important theological issues that Islamic theologians have discussed in two general approaches. Most of the theologians are in favor of the maximal approach and others also believe in a minimal approach. Some contemporary new-thinkers like Modarresi Tabatabaei, Kadivar, Soroush, Salehi Najafabadi with a historical look at Shi'a beliefs are from the followers of minimal approach and believe that the maximal approach i.e. the first group's belief in Imam's knowledge has no record in the era of Imams but have been appeared among some external currents of thought like Ghulat. This group's main reason for proving this claim relies on expressing historical evidence. They try to show that from the viewpoint of the companion of Imams (PBUH) the Imam's knowledge is limit and any maximal approach to Imam's knowledge has been denied by them. This research has been tried to analyze and critic the new thinkers' viewpoint about the scope of Imam's knowledge relying on traditions and historical evidence and using the descriptive-analytic method and critical approach.

One of the important issues is the historical authenticity of belief in the Promised Deliverer which some criticize today. A descriptive-analytical study of the early historical and narrative sources shows that the authenticity of this doctrine and attributing it to the Shiʿah during the presence of Infallible Imams (A.S), that is from Imam ʿAli's time throughout the presence period, can be proved and its foundations can be traced. The only issue on which there was disagreement and ambiguity is determining who the Promised Mahdi himself is, which seems natural due to the political conditions of the presence period in which it was difficult for the Shiʿah to explain their knowledge, the gradual process of explaining and establishing some doctrines (on Mahdism), the emphasis on waiting (for Mahdi – A.S), the natural ground for the ambiguity of the details of Mahdism doctrine, and different levels of individual's knowledge, etc. such a difference and ambiguity cannot be considered as weakness in the authenticity of this doctrine among the shiʿas of presence period.
