Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Victim Lost in Saqifah 1-4 Discourse Twosunni-inclined Interpretations of Imamate and Wilayat According to the belief of seekers of revision in Shia Faith: Imamate and Wilayat is in the meaning of rulership! Those who are after revision in Shia beliefs**[1]** are easily entrapped in deviated beliefs. It could be due to their inclination to discussions related to Islamic government. They are prey of this perverted belief of chosen Caliphate.

The first particularity of the system of ‘chosen Caliphate’ has enchanted**[2]** these open-minded ones or seekers of revision in belief. They have fallen prey to consider the subject of Imamate and Wilayat unimportant in relation to rulership. According to this all traditions, Quranic verses and signs related to the subject of Imamate and Wilayat have become an object of moral deviation and perversion, which is, of course detrimental and very much harmful. It has a direct bearing on government.

Thus it is claimed: “In the pristine faith of Islam the subject of Imamate concerns only government affairs and administration of political and social affairs and issues of Ummah.”! [3] “Imamate means leadership and to run the political affairs of Islamic Ummah.”! [4] “The executive of Islamic orders applies to Waliul Amr (possessor of affairs).”! [5] [1] Refer: Rasool Ja’faryan: Jaryaanha wa Saazmaanhai Mazhabi – Siyasi Iran, Pgs.

101 “If an Islamic ruler carries out an Islamic order or commandment he is called Waliul Amr.”! [1] “In Quran Waliul Amr is mentioned which gains meaning in the domain of government!” “In Islamic literature, the word Imam is mentioned repeatedly. It is used in a sense of chief of government. His duties have been discussed repeatedly.”! [2] “The dispute between Shia and Sunni since centuries is on the issue of government.”!
