Ahl al-Bayt (a): Difference between revisions

In the Uli l-Amr verse, it is made obligatory for anyone to obey [[God]], His messenger, and Uli l-Amr, "O you who have faith! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and Uli l-Amr (those vested with authority) among you." ([[Quran 4]]:59) Since, Uli l-Amr is added to "the Apostle" without repetition of the verb "ati'u" ({{iarabic|أطیعوا}}, obey), it can be understood that the criteria for obligation of obeying Uli l-Amr are the same as the criteria for obligation of obeying the Prophet (s); and obeying the Prophet (s) is because of his God-given leadership and his infallibility and if he (s) was not infallible, obeying him would not become obligatory without any conditions. The same justification is true about Uli l-Amr, and because of their infallibility, their obedience has been mentioned as absolutely obligatory.{{cn}}

Therefore, the Uli l-Amr verse implies the [[infallibility]] of those who take the leadership of the Islamic society after [[the Prophet (s)]] and also the obligation of their obedience.
