Ma`rifat

Abstract Belief in the proven and immediate imamate of Imam Ali (PBUH) is considered as the main characteristic of Shia Islam. Using analytical and library methods, this paper mainly deals with identifying the geometry of the Qura’nic verses about the above-mentioned belief and its exegesis in the theological thought of the Baghdad Imamiyyah in the fifth century, centered on Sheikh Mufid and Seyyed Murtaza. The main part of the Qur'anic evidence for proving the rights of wilayat and imamate in the school of Baghdad consists of two groups: unmediated and mediated. The third group refers to the criticism of the rival thought. Criticism of the Qur'anic documents like the infallibility of the Companions, criticism of reference to Qur'anic verses for the right of caliphate, and criticism of the Qur'anic proofs of the authority of the consensus of the Ummah form the three axes of the third category. In some cases, arguments have been presented in favor of Imamate. Considering the expansion of the intellectual view of Shi'a philosophy and the multi-polar atmosphere of Baghdad, the interpretation of these verses in the school of Baghdad can be evaluated both in terms of quantity and quality and in the analytical and interpretive directions.
