Taḥqīqī Pīrāmūn-e Imāmat-e ʿĀmmah wa Khāṣṣah (Persian: تحقیقی پیرامون امامت عامه و خاصه, lit. a research on general and specific Imamate) is a book in Persian which focuses on the doctrine of Imamate under the two sections of general and specific. It is written by Habibullah Tahiri and printed by Za'ir Publications.[1]
Book Overview
As provided by the preface, the book examines the doctrine of Imamate through its general and specific definitions as put forth by theologians. He acknowledges that the doctrine of Imamate, same as the doctrine of prophecy (nubuwwah) in theological texts, has been divided into general and specific. To basically understand the logic for this kind of categorization one must inquire into the two questions that were raised after the death of the Prophet (s):
- ls there still a pressing need for interpretation of religion, providing guidance and leadership to the Muslim community (ummah) after the death of the Prophet (s) or has it gone with the Prophet (s)?
- If one takes the uninterrupted continuity of Imamate and leadership for granted then on whose shoulders shall the responsibility of leading the Muslim community (ummah) rest after the Prophet (s)? In other words according to Islamic doctrine who has the right to lead the ummah after the Prophet (s)- Ali (a) or Abu Bakr?
The Muslims have given a positive answer to the first question and considered the continuation of Imamate and leadership as an undeniable and natural necessity. However, in answering the second question the Sunni Muslims accepted the caliphate of the caliphs and Ali (a) was accepted as the fourth caliph. However, the Shi'a Muslims believe that the Prophet (s) by clear designation and evidence has appointed Ali (a) as his successor and others do not have the right to claim leadership and caliphate of the Muslim community. The first question is addressed under the section of "general Imamate" and the second under the section of "specific Imamate".[1]
