QUESTION:<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhich verse of the Noble Qur\u2019an can be cited regarding the authority (wilayat) of the twelve Imams (peace be upon them) and the just government of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return) and the supremacy of Islam over the world?<\/h4>\n

ANSWER:<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe verses from whose purport it is understood that the twelve Imams\u2014may Allah elevate their word\u2014have authority and Imamah are many in number.
\nAmong them is the verse:
\n\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064e \u0645\u064f\u0646\u0652\u0630\u0650\u0631\u064c \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0644\u0651\u0650 \u0642\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u064d \u0647\u064e\u0627\u062f\u064d<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cYou are but a warner, and every people has a guide.\u201d Surah Ra\u2019d (13), Verse 7
\nAnd the verse:
\n\u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627\u0644\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u0645\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cMy covenant reaches not the oppressors (and only that group of your descendants is worthy of this position who are pure and infallible).\u201d Surah Baqarah (2), Verse 124
\nand the verse:
\n\u0623\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0647\u0652\u062f\u0650\u064a \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u064f \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u062a\u0652\u0628\u064e\u0639\u064e<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThus is one who guides to the truth worthier of being followed?\u201d Surah Yunus (10), Verse 35
\nThese verses indicate this point since from them one understands that society is not without an Imam, the infallibility of the holder of the station of Imamah, and his being more knowledgeable than others, and this issue is among the exclusive convictional principles of the Shi\u2018a. And from the verse:
\n\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064f\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u0637\u0650\u064a\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0637\u0650\u064a\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064f\u0648\u0644\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0631\u0650 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cO\u2019 ye who have brought faith! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you (the trustees of the Prophet).\u201d Surah an-Nisa\u2019 (4), Verse 59
\nThis doctrine of the Shi\u2018a\u2014that the Imam and ruler must be infallible\u2014is understood. This is because in this verse obedience to those in authority has been commanded in an absolute manner. Obedience to the Prophet, which is in all affairs, has been expressed together with obedience to those in authority in one word\u2014the imperative verb \u0623\u0637\u064a\u0639\u0648\u0627, \u201cobey!\u201d
\nIt is obvious that someone whom the believers have been ordered to obey absolutely in such a way must be infallible and far removed from errors and mistakes, and as it is undisputed that from among the Islamic sects only the Shi\u2018a believe in the infallibility of the Imam.
\nIn addition to this, commentaries and reliable traditions also indicate that the intent of the noble verse \u201cObey Allah\u2026\u201d and other verses is the twelve Imams (peace be upon them), and in these commentaries, the blessed names of these personages are also mentioned explicitly.
\nAs for the supremacy of Islam in the world and its overcoming all religions, it is sufficient to pay attention to verses 32 and 33 of Surah at-Tawba, verse 28 of Surah al-Fath, verses 6 and 8 of Surah al-Saff, and numerous other verses. In them, the promise of appearance and true religion\u2019s overcoming all religions has been given, a promise that will come to pass with the appearance of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return), and this is inviolable.
\nIn regard to the appearance of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his return) in particular, many verses have been elucidated to refer to it, which exceed one hundred verses in all. The book Al-Mahajja fi ma Nazala fi al-Qa\u2019im al-Hujja (The Final Destination Regarding What Has Been Revealed About the Twelfth Imam) has collected all of them.
\nAmong those verses is this verse:
\n\u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u062f\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0645\u0650\u0644\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u062d\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u0644\u0650\u064a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062e\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0641\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u0650 \u0643\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062e\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0641\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0642\u064e\u0628\u0652\u0644\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u064f\u0645\u064e\u0643\u0651\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0645\u064f \u062f\u0650\u064a\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0630\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0631\u0652\u062a\u064e\u0636\u064e\u0649 \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u064f\u0628\u0650\u062f\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645 \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0628\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062f\u0650 \u062e\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0647\u0650\u0645\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0646\u0627\u064b\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0628\u064f\u062f\u064f\u0648\u0646\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0644\u0627\u064e \u064a\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0628\u0650\u064a \u0634\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0626\u0627\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0643\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0631\u064e \u0628\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062f\u064e \u0630\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0641\u064e\u0623\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064e\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0647\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n
