Abstract

IIt goes without saying that to provide and explain profound Shi’i teachings
which have their roots in the Book and Sunnah, a suitable ground is needed
whose realization is directly related to agreement or disagreement between
influential historical elements on the one hand and those political, social,
cultural, and economic elements, on the other.
A reflection upon these elements confirms their impacts on the process of
brief-detailed presentation of epistemic Shi’i system and its explanation in
various eras of the Imams’ presence- without a change in its origin.
The present writing tries to comparatively present the above theory about
“Imamate” based on hadiths quoted from the Household (A.S); and, while
providing replies to the questions about the reasons behind some historical-epistemic phenomena, the author will show developments of the above-mentioned process in the era before Concealment as it is contained in the
epistemic system of the Household (A.S).
