The Reasoning of Infallibility on the Leadership of the Imam of the Age (m.a.h.h.a.)

According to the belief of the Imamiyah shi’it, after the Imam Hasan Asgari (p.b.u.h.), his Excellency’s only child, namely, Hujjat ibn al-hasan al-mahdi (m.a.h.h.a.), is the Imam. To prove this point, they have brought a lot of intellectual and narrative proofs. One of the their intellectual reasonings on the Imam’s existence and leadership (Imamat), is the reasoning of infallibility. This article consists of three 1. The necessity of the existence of an infallible Imam in every Age.2. Being the absolute truth on Imamat limited to the Islamic nation. 3. Not being anyone infallible except his Excellency (m.a.h.h.a.).The first introduction has been proved by many intellectual and narrative proofs and the second introduction, is the case which all Muslims have consensus on. The third introduction is proved by the incorrectness of the other Islamic sects’ ideologies on the subject of Imamat. Either they do not believe in the existence of an infallible Imama – that the first introduction abrogates it – or their sayings on the issue do not match with historical truths, and the authentic traditional proofs; therefore, the fact, on the subject is what the Imameyyah shi’it believes.
