Infallible imams (a)

At the core of Shia belief lies the notion of ‘Ismah, or infallibility, which denotes the divine protection from sin and error. This attribute not only renders the Imams (a) as flawless exemplars of conduct but also as integral conduits for divine guidance. The question arises: if the Imams (a) are indeed infallible, how can ordinary individuals relate to their human experiences? This is where the harmony between the Imams’ (a) divine prerogatives and their human experiences becomes crucial for understanding.

Their teachings impel adherents to aspire towards the virtues exhibited by these leaders, thus raising the question: why does society falter in replicating such ideals?
