In [[Shi'a]] terminology it usually has the meaning and refers to the divine sanctioned guardianship of the [[Imams (a)]] over people. Wilaya Tashri'i, Wilaya Tafsiri, Wilaya Takwini and Wilaya Siyasi are all branches of the core wilaya. The Holy [[Qur'an]] confines the right of wilaya to Allah; it is He who gives this right to whomever He pleases. Additionally, based upon Islamic sources, Allah has granted this right of wilaya to the [[Prophet]]s, the Imams and to the scholars. | ||
