Ibn Walid al-Qummi

Within his teachings, al-Qummi deftly navigates crucial theological themes such as the concept of Imamate, the nature of prophecy, and the importance of justice (‘adl) in divine governance. His discourses on the Imamate outline a framework where the spiritual and temporal leadership of the Imams are critical for guiding the faithful. Al-Qummi argues that the Imams possess divine knowledge, a characteristic that legitimizes their role as leaders beyond mere political authority.

Moreover, al-Qummi’s views on justice (‘adl) serve as a pillar in Shia theology. He articulates that divine justice is an essential attribute of Allah, supporting the belief that human actions are subject to divine judgment. This assertion aligns with the Shia emphasis on ethical conduct and accountability, reinforcing the moral duty to adhere to the tenets of Islam.
