+'''Imāms (a) of the Shīʿa''' are twelve men from the progeny of the [[Prophet (s)]] who are, according to [[Shi'a]] teachings, successors of the Prophet (s) and the guardians and leaders of the society after the Prophet (s). The first Imam (a) is [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] and the other Imams (a) are his and [[lady Fatima (a)|lady Fatima's (a)]] sons and grandsons.
 These Imams (a) are appointed by [[God]] and have [['Ilm al-ghayb|divine knowledge]], [[infallibility]] and the right of [[intercession]] [for people] and one can get closer to God through making [[tawassul]] to them. In addition to religious authority, Imams (a) have the political leadership of the society. [[Verse]]s of the [[Qur'an]] have discussed the issue of [[imamate]] without mentioning the names of the Imams (a); such as the verses of [[Uli al-Amr Verse|Uli al-Amr]], [[Tathir Verse|Tathir]], [[al-Wilaya Verse|al-Wilaya]], [[al-Ikmal Verse|al-Ikmal]], [[al-Tabligh Verse|al-Tabligh]] and [[Al-Sadiqin verse|al-Sadiqin]].
