Among Shia thinkers, various theories exist regarding the concept of 'Imamate'; some Shia scholars and commentators have considered the meaning of Imamate to be the station of obligatory obedience and possessing the right to command and prohibit, whereas on the other hand, a number of thinkers have regarded Imamate as a type of ontological influence in the hearts of God's servants and the guidance and delivery of them to the desired goal. By analyzing these two perspectives, the author has examined their points of convergence and divergence and, by presenting these two views to the Quran and the hadiths of the Infallibles (AS), has concluded that the first view is more consistent with the apparent meanings—and even the explicit texts—of the Quran and traditions.

Based on the first view, the Imamate presented in the Quran and the hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) means the rank of mandatory obedience and the right to command and forbid other servants and humans who possess freedom and choice, whereas based on the second view, Imamate means existential (takwini) disposal over human hearts and guiding and bringing them to the desired goal.
Based on a hadith from the Messenger of God (saw), leadership, the obligation of obedience, and the authority of command and prohibition are included in the reality and meaning of divine Imamate; in other words, the Imam is the leader and role model of the people, and a person with 1.
