| The word Imam appears seven times in the Qur'an. One of those cases is the verse "The day we call all people to their Imam". About the meaning of the Imam in the verse, eight words have been quoted by commentators. Although the great commentators of Fariqain differ with each other in the concept of Imam in the mentioned verse, but they are in common in this opinion considering that they consider Imam's guidance to be of the type of presenting a path. Allameh Tabataba'i, using his interpretation method, has been able to extract, in addition to this, from the mentioned verse, the necessity of the presence of a living Imam in every era. Commenting on the importance of this discussion in Islamic thought and its connection with the subject of Mahdism, the present research with descriptive-analytical method tries to answer the question of how Allameh reached this result. It seems that the basis of this analysis is his special understanding of the truth of Imamate. From Allameh's point of view, Imamate does not mean absolute guidance, but guidance that takes place by divine order. While many commentators consider this guidance as presenting the way, Allameh has introduced the imamate as making man to reach the intended, according to the adverb "Biamrina" in verse 73 of Surah Anbiya and verse 24 of Surah Sajdah. From Allameh's point of view, the description of Imamate as guidance to the command leads us to the continuity of this flow and its necessity. |
