How should every ruler be confided in the question of nominating an heir apparent while the Prophet of Allah should not? The blind imitators had one of two courses to follow; either Mohammed's religion as exactly as he had explicated, or the religion adopted by the rulers. They opted for the latter choice since they decided that they should be with the dominant party. “We are being with the dominant party.” This statement, uttered by Abdullah­bn­Omar, has been changed into a lawful rule. Alas!

The matters became submissive to this form; the coming ruler is that whom is nominated by the current one. The dominant should be the ruler whatever he was! Allah's, however, is the sequences of affairs. The Divine Disposition of the Transference of Imamate After the Leader's Decease Allah has revealed the Quran as a missive and a divine doctrine to mankind. It is also representing one of the necessities of explicating this doctrine.

The Quran was revealed to Mohammed, none else, since this man was the divinely prepared for being the most knowledgeable of this doctrine, the keenest of the rulings of this operative lawful collection, the most favorable among the followers of the doctrine and the fittest for leading these followers presently and in the future. On that account, the Prophet was seen as the guide of the solicitation. He also was the head of the state originated from that solicitation.

Mohammed's conducts; words, deeds and signature are contemplated as a part of the doctrine. During his blessed lifetime, none should represent or supplant Mohammed in this mission. He is the center of the circle and the leader of the nation in both political and religious affairs. The Specialist in Nominating the Prophet and the Imam Allah, the Elevated, is the Authority exclusively having the right of nominating Imams.

Mohammed (peace be upon him and his family) was the first leader, Imam and president of the Islamic state. He was selected by Allah for this position. This was by the reason that he had been the most knowledgeable of the doctrine, the keenest of perceiving its rulings, the most favorable among the followers of the doctrine and the fittest for leading and applying the regulations.

God, gave himself the exclusiveness of having the right of selecting the Imam, the authority and the leader since He, the Elevated, is the only One Who has the propensity, based upon certitude and conviction, of recognizing the fittest.
