Ibn Taymiyyah criticized Allama Helli's rational argument about the Imamate of Imam Ali (a.s.), which he presented using the necessity of Imam's infallibility. While he generally does not accept the divine appointment of the Imam, he also rejects and does not accept the argument of the Imam's infallibility. In fact, Ibn Taymiyyah's objections to the necessity of infallibility in the imam return to the denial of the principle of Imamate in the sense intended by the Shia; Because by accepting the Imamate in the intended sense of the Shia, there is no escaping the acceptance of infallibility and, following it, the Imamate of Imam Ali (a.s.). This article is written in a descriptive-analytical way and aims to express the issue of the strength and power of Allameh Helli's argument on the Imamate of Imam Ali (a.s.), and in fact, it answers the question whether Ibn Taymiyyah's objections to the first rational argument of Allameh Helli prove Imam Ali's Imamate. (A) Is it included? By reflecting on the problems of Ibn Taymiyyah, it is clear from Allama Helli's rational argument on the Imamate of Imam Ali (a.s.) that his opinions are rejected, that the confirmation of Allamah's argument and, as a result, the proof of the Imamate of Imam Ali (a.s.) and, consequently, other Shia imams follow has it.

The verse of Mubahala is one of the most prominent verses that has long been common in the context of Shiite and Sunni theological conversations. Imami theologians have sought to provide Qur'anic support for the foundations of the Shiite ideology in the light of the semantic meaning of the verse of Mubahala. Imamate, the superiority of the Imam and infallibility is one of the most brilliant perceptions mentioned in Shiite theological research. On the other hand, Sunni theologians, apart from proving prophethood, have rejected other aspects of the meaning that Shiites cite, and in their theological research, they have tried to take a negative approach with arguments such as the Prophet, the semantic meaning of the soul, Hassanain were child, and the preferred preference on the virtuous, reduce the meaning of the verse to a simple virtue. But Imami theologians, using rational arguments, narrative quotations, interpretive perceptions, literary rules and historical reports, defend the semantic perceptions of the verse; They have challenged the views of popular theologians, the outcome of which is clear in proving the radiant superiority of the Ahl al-Bayt.

It has long been a place of dispute amongst the Muslims whether Imamate is a position to be granted to Imam through election or appointment; on the one hand, the Imamyya School, based on a rational explanation, holds that Imam is to be immediately appointed by the Word of God and His Messenger (PBUH); They first argue that like all other mercies He is expected to bestow, the appointment of Imam is a mercy of God so that to amend His servant's affairs, and secondly, since Quran requires Imam to be innocent and superior and God is the only aware of the quality of everyone in the universe, He just has the right to endorse the Imamate of Imam, the viewpoint affirmed by Allameh Hilli in his Nahj-ul-Hagh. On the other hand, the Sunni School considers that there is not any text denoting the appointment of Imam neither by God nor by the prophet and the designation of Imam is an election to be done by the people, the viewpoint affirmed by Fazl Ibn Roozbehan in Ibtal-ul-Batil. This thesis comparatively surveys viewpoints of the two scholars, representatives of two Mainstreams of thought in the Muslim world, firstly to clarify the original thought of Shia, secondly to respond to the enemies of Imamyya School, and thirdly to revise their probable commonalities to be employed for the closeness of Shia and Sunni Muslims.

Ibn Yamin, the eighth century Shiite poet, not only expresses his devotion to the Ahl al-Bayt (Peace be upon them) in his poems, but also, as an informed person in theological issues, proves Imamate of Amir al-Mu'minin (the first Imam of the Shiites) and that of his innocent household. In his poems, he recited the verses of the Alvelaiah and Hadi al-ummah; Traditions of Rad al-shams, al-ghadir and al-manzilah; and the numerous attributes such as wisdom, infallibility, generosity, virtue, knowledge, power and courage in proving the Imamate of the Amir al-Mu'minin. By using two important dimensions of feeling and cognition at the same time, Ibn Yamin has been able to skillfully apply the higher Shiite teachings in his poetry while creating novel images of the spiritual status of the Imams (Peace be upon them). Therefore, his poems about the Shiite Imams can be considered as educational works that teach the theological dimension of the Imamate from the Shiite perspective. In this research, descriptive-analytical method has been used.

Al-Ghazali considered the existence of the Imam necessary to Shari'a reasoning and the consensus of the Ummah and considered it useful for the consistency of religion and the world but did not consider infallibility for the Imam. He believes that we need the Imam only in the affairs of the state and equipping the army and ... that he does not need divine knowledge to perform such tasks. He, like other Sunni followers, considers Imam to be the people's choice and introduces any claim by the Shi'a as irrelevant to the issue of Imamate and non-sequential. In his view, if the news were sequential, we would never have doubted it, while we suspected it. Thus hadiths such as the hadith of Ghadir and Manzelat merely express respect and friendship between the Prophet (PBUH) and Ali (PBUH), and there is no reason to believe in the Imamate of Ali (PBUH).On the other hand, Khawaja Nasir has taken a stand against this view and considers the existence of the Imam to be obligatory, not on religious reasons, but based on rationality and "rule of grace" he considers it obligatory on God. He also suggests that infallibility is essential for the Imam by presenting numerous rational proofs, also, if he performs evil acts, he should be prevented from doing so, and in this case, the purpose of existence of Imam will be violated and the Imam's position will be lower than other people's; therefore, the imam must be installed by God and his messenger, and this is the Nas. However, It is also unlikely that the Prophet would be silent about such danger according to the manner of the messenger of God.
