\n From the above Verse the words \u2018Nafr min kulla Firqatin\u2019 (a party only should go forth\u2019 and \u2018 Layatafaqqahu \u2019 (understanding of the religion) are taken in order to justify the role of the \u2018Faqih\u2019 \u2018to become a specialist\u2019.\u00a0 Three Ahaidht in the \u2018tafseer\u2019 (interpretation) of the Verse 9:122 are included in the Appendix II, from those Ahadith there is no way one could imply the Verse 9:122 would support the use of Ijtihad and taqleed.\u00a0 We will look at the meanings of the word \u2018Faqih\u2019 from Ahadith in the following paragraphs.

\n How Ijtihad was Embraced by the Shias? \n Sunni Muslims continued to practice Ijtihad after the Holy Prophet -saww but Ahl Al-Bayt -asws persistantly rejected it as can be found in several of their -asws traditions, however, after the Grand Occultation of Imam-e-Zaman -ajfj , power greedy and fame hungry Shias scholars tried to \u2018reinvent\u2019 what the Sunnis had done before, by replicating and redefining the same term \u2018Ijtihad\u2019 but slightly modifying its scope and definition and declaring it as \u2018permissible\u2019 if \u2018Ijtihad\u2019 is based on \u2018Aql\u2019 unlike that of Sunnis which, they blamed, was based on \u2018Zan\u2019 (guess) [11] .\u00a0 However, still justifying it with the same Hadith of \u2018Amr ibn al-\u2019As, see for example, M Muhammadi Rayshahri\u2019 book, who has compiled over 8,000 Ahadith in 2009 has quoted Amr ibn al-\u2019As\u2019s Hadith in favour of Ijtihad [12] .

\n Who is a Mujtahid? \n The person who practices \u2018Ijtihad\u2019 in the derivation of a decree (Fatwa) is called the \u2018Mujtahid\u2019, the first one, as per the Hadith presented earlier, was the Iblis, who thought his speciation, which was made out of fire, was superior than that of Prophet Adam -as .

Those who follow a Mujtahid are called the \u2018Muqallideen\u2019 or in the Taqleed of a Mujtahid.\u00a0 Now we move to our main topic \u2018Taqleed\u2019 which is obsereved by most of the Twelve Imami Shites, living today, all around the Globe.
