At the crux of al-Qummi’s teachings lies the concept of Imamate, which posits that leaders of the Shia community are divinely appointed and infallible. This doctrine stands in stark contrast to the Sunni understanding of leadership, emphasizing the spiritual and temporal authority of the Imams, beginning with Ali ibn Abi Talib. Al-Qummi’s works expound upon the attributes and roles of the Imams, portraying them as not only political leaders but also spiritual guides endowed with comprehensive knowledge and insight into Islamic jurisprudence and theology.
His discussions often delve into the necessity of adhering to the teachings of the Imams, who serve as intermediaries in the grasp of divine will. This doctrine fosters a deep sense of loyalty amongst followers, cementing communal ties and an unwavering commitment to Shia principles.
