Al-Burhan fi tafsir al-quran

The Role of Imamate in Interpretation

Central to Shia theology is the doctrine of Imamate, a belief that the leaders of the Muslim community are divinely appointed and serve as intermediaries between the divine and the populace. In Al-Burhan, the interpretative role of the Imams is accentuated as a critical avenue for understanding the Quran’s layered meanings. This perspective positions the Imamate not merely as an administrative institution but as a vital channel through which divine wisdom flows, analogous to a river that nourishes the surrounding land. In this light, the Imams exemplify the quintessence of learned stewardship and spiritual authority, guiding the faithful toward a more profound relationship with the sacred text.
