A reply to the presented proofs in this article is given at the end. \n The necessity of Taqleed is proved by The Holy Quran and The Ahlulbayt(A.S) \nFirstly, what does \\’Taqleed\\’ mean? Translated into imitation, it essentially means the following in actions of another person. In the Shia Imamiyah school, this relates to the following of a \\’mujtahid\\’ by a \\’non-mujtahid\\’ in Islamic rulings (Sharia\\’ law) and matters relating to \\’Furu\\’ Al-Deen\\’.

\n A Mujtahid is an expert in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) who has been verified as having the ability to derive laws and rulings from the two sources of Islam; the Qur\\’an and the Sunnah of the Ahlulbayt . In the chapter of \\’The Prophets\\’, this verse states: ” ask the people of remembrance if you do not know ” (21:7). Clearly this is asking people who have no knowledge on certain matters, to refer to people that do, whom essentially are the experts.

This is the natural way of things, to seek knowledge from those who have it. Even the Prophets were instructed to do so, as the case with Musa (S) when he was told to seek wisdom from Al-Khidhr.

\n We then need to identify these experts and the Qur\\’an has done this again, in \\’The Family of Imran\\’, \\’The Originator\\’ and \\’The Pleading One\\’: \n Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the angels and t hose possessed of knowledge (3:18) \n those of His servants only who are possessed of knowledge fear Allah (35:28) \n Allah will exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge , in high degrees (58:11) \nClearly then, Allah (SWT) has placed emphasis that those with knowledge are given a special status.

Then the Exalted has instructed that those knowledgeable ones are to be followed, as is the natural thing to do: \n O you who believe!
