Occasionally a theology principle don,t change, but change perspectives about it overtime. Here, learning about evolutions of that principle, leading to know correctly. For example, interior velayat of Islamic holy prophet(Allah bless him and his family) and shia Emams(peace be upon them), is an acceptual principle by all shia theologier. But their methods for explanation of this principle, has changed in different historical courses. Necessity of Emam,s existence for earth s duration, connect Angels, apparent s and mind s changes in world by Emams, their boundless knowledge, and miracles that occurd from them, are from settled principles for shia. Between Shia theologier in different priors of islam history, there were different methods for learning these principles. This thesis is taking steps toward collection and preliminary comparision of this method s results. After express concepts and generalities, we are beginning to study companion’s viewponts in presence s cycle of emams. Then will continu velayat subject in third century until twelfth century. In this way, many aspects of the miracles of the Ahlul-Bayt, Imam,s knowledg and inward and outward possession,s Imam become brighter.
