The Twelve Imams are the spiritual and political successors to
Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, in the Twelver or
Ithna-‘ashariyyah branch of Shi‘ah Islam. According to the
theology of Twelvers, the successor of Muhammad is an infallible
human individual who not only rules over the community with
justice, but also is able to keep and interpret the Divine Law
and its esoteric meaning. The Prophet and Imams' words and deeds
are a guide and model for the community to follow; as a result,
they must be free from error and sin, and must be chosen by
divine decree, or nass, through the Prophet. It is believed by
Twelver Shi'a Muslims that the Twelve Imams were foretold in the
Hadith of the Twelve Successors. |See more at Wikipedia.org...|
