Imamat

Imamat is a religious concept in Islam, particularly within Shia tradition, referring to the spiritual and leadership role assigned to a designated family of the Prophet Muhammad. Imams are considered divinely chosen guides who possess deep knowledge and moral authority to interpret Islamic teachings, guide the community, and maintain spiritual purity. Unlike regular leaders or scholars, Imams are viewed as infallible in their guidance and serve as the true successors to the Prophet. Their leadership is believed to ensure the correct understanding and practice of faith, maintaining the connection between God and the Muslim community.
