Abstract:
This article addresses patterns, the encompassing knowledge of the Imams, the school of Shi'ism as a school of a witnessing nation, ijtihad, and related issues, which according to the author is among the privileges of the school of Shi'ism. Then, it proceeds to briefly mention other components of the dynamism and permanence of the school, such as the principles of Taqiyya, the school of Ashura and Ramadan, the principle of expectation (Intizar), and permanent readiness, concluding the writing after a conclusion. The characteristic of this writing is that, as much as possible, the Quran is at the center of the authenticity of its content, and insofar as it does not interfere with the explanation and proof of the subject, an attempt has been made to minimize reliance on quotation and adaptation so that the content maintains freshness and vitality. In the introduction, the author presents a discussion regarding the school and how it applies to Shi'ism, considering it a belief-action movement that has benefited from continuous organizational structure and unity of leadership. In the first section, he addresses aspects of dynamism, which is the fundamental secret to the permanence of the Shiite school, such as the subject of Imamate and Wilayah, principled unity, and diversity.
Machine summary:
In relation to the second option, although the Infallible Imams (peace be upon them), in their own words, are "کلهم نور واحد", but at the same time, each is the manifestation of a distinct method and pattern by which they are known; for instance, the nurturing of elite companions and the teaching of religious principles through oratory and the pulpit for Imam Ali (peace be upon him), the attraction of opponents through the practice of forbearance and patience for Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), the struggle against oppression and standing against injustice for Imam Husayn (peace be upon him), the explanation of truths, the dissemination of sciences, and the presentation of an educational strategy through prayer for Imam Zayn al-Abidin (peace be upon him), the establishment of public chairs of education and training for Imams Baqir and Sadiq (peace be upon them both), the nurturing of disciples based on the doctrine of Taqiyya and the dissemination of Islamic sciences—often in that same manner—for Imam Kadhim (peace be upon him), the nurturing of students and the attraction of followers of Islamic religions and sects through debate and argumentation for Imam Rida (peace be upon him)—although this method is well-known for all the Imams (peace be upon them)—and working under the cover of Taqiyya, secret cadre-building, and the training and education of Shiite preachers and the guidance of the Ummah for the subsequent Imams until the twelfth Imam (peace be upon him).
