Abstract

The inner guardianship of prophecy and its mystical analysis and interpretation is a necessity. Velayat among mystics means closeness to the Merciful God.

The purpose of this research is the relationship between the guardianship of Imam Mahdi and the guardianship of the Holy Prophet and Imam Ali (peace be upon him) with an emphasis on the thoughts of the Imam and its presentation on the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).
