Abstract:
In this research and investigation, an analysis of the unified strategy of Imamate has been conducted. The strategy of Imamate has been an enlightening and explanatory strategy of Sharia, Jihad, and fighting against unjust and tyrannical governments. The Imams, it seems, were unified personalities who, in the path of struggle, faced ups and downs, but pursued a single goal and destination. Given that a school-based society requires a school-based government, the focal point of the movement of the Imams (peace be upon them) was Islamic government, and the important characteristic of their struggle was inflexibility and uncompromising nature, which was sometimes also carried out under the cover of Taqiyya.
Machine summary:
After the Imam, peace be upon him, expressed doubt and astonishment regarding the aforementioned number, and the man repeatedly decreased the number, the Imam, peace be upon him, at the end, emphasizing the quality of the individuals, mentioned a certain number (21 or 51 people, according to differing narrations) and said: If I had this many companions, I would rise up.
Was it not the case that in Shiite culture, in those days, the issue of emergence and uprising to establish the government of truth was considered an inevitable matter and a certain goal of the Imams, peace be upon them— was considered, and the perception of the companions and Shiites was that the Imams, peace be upon them, were waiting for a suitable opportunity to rise up for it?" (Khamenei, 4831, 75).
For those who" know the history of the second century AH well and have studied the movements of the Banu Abbas from the years before 101 AH until the year 231, which is the beginning of the Abbasid rule; the acute political struggle in the lives of the Imams, peace be upon them, can be compared to what was observed in the lives of the Banu Abbas.
Such a movement existed in the lives of the Imams, peace be upon them, but as we said, with three elemental differences in goal, in methods, and in individuals.
This is the meaning of political struggle in the lives of the Imams, peace be upon them" (Khamenei, 4831, 62).
