Shi'ite Islam at a Glance...
Succession To The Prophet
Islam prescribes very high qualifications for a
D i v i n e l e a d e r . H e s h o u l d b e t h e m o s t
knowledgeable, the most wise, and the most gallant
of all.
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his successors
i.e. the Imams, besides being religious leaders, are
in their capacity as leaders of society, responsible
for all worldly administrative function. The
Prophet is the founder of religion and the Imam is
its protector. The Imam does not receive revelation,
but he is the master and real interpreter of all the
details of the Prophet's religious system. Both the
Prophet and the Imam have a special constructive
role to perform. They do not shirk any sacrifice in
the interest of the people.
