Among the hadiths related to the science of the Imam, the enlightenment of Imam is one of the concepts which have been endorsed by all the Imams (AS). The present study seeks to extract and support this Shi’a hadith from the Qur’an by citing the teachings of the Enlightenment of the Imam to the verses of the Qur’an. In this regard, by analyzing the verses, “the family of hadiths of the Enlightenment of Imam” has been documented in groups. The tradition of the God in the granting of the sciences to the previous messengers has been examined, so long as this tradition about them is fixed in an incremental way, it is also hypothised to be true about Khatam-Al-Anbia and his family. Also, the verses directly referring to “The Enlightenment of the Imams (AS)” are also reviewed. The findings show that, although the Enlightenment of the Imams is not mentioned in the Quran, there is some evidence in Quran which confirms this hadith belief. Even the details of Imamiyya thoughts can be proved to be true by the Quran. The collection of the verses of “Laylat al-Qadr” refers to the enlightenment of Imam; the angels are sent down to the Imam by the God in the night of Qadr, and they enlighten the Imam from the Lord, and since the night of Qadr and the descent of the angels in this night is continuous, such an enlightenment will continue until the Day of Resurrection
