“Necessity and Status of the infallible Imam in mystic journey, based on the holy Quran and Tradition”

The most important concerns of the knowledge of mysticism is to explain the quality of the human potentials actuality. Hence the mystics have attempted to identify man and determine the quality of reaching him to his extremities. Mystics by proving the necessity of mystic conduct identify step on this path as the best way to achieve the mentioned goal. Although the path to God can be assessed from multiple perspectives, but the main responsibility of this research is to explain and review the relation of innocent Imam with path to God.

The quality of Imam’s relation with conduct can be assessed from two perspectives: first, Imam’s relation with the path of conduct and the second the relation of Imam with mystic. About the relationship of Imam with principle of conduct two fundamental things can be proved: first, Imam is the constitution of conduct path. (because Imam as Holy Prophet is the main source of grace from God to man), and in the absence of the Imam path conduct will be dismantled and the second is that Imam dignity in mysticism is identical with the Prophet, hence the dignity of Imam isn’t comparable with any of the people. All human beings even professors of conduct and perfect complements need Imam to proximity to Allah. These materials are provable in four ways: referring of Prophet to succession of Imams, proof of full similarity in features between Imams and Prophet, refer to the teachings of mysticism and finally rely on rational arguments. About the relation of Imams with mystic it will prove that Imam can guide mystics in the path of conduct, hence the guidance of other mystics is possible only with the help of Imam. Imam guidance in the path of conduct can be implemented through” providing way” and ” delivered to the desired”. Proof of these affairs is possible through three ways: first, accuracy in terms of teacher attributes and behaviors, then through assessing various aspects of the Imamat and finally according to the grance of God imparted to the Universe.
