4. The Concept of Wilayat

The principle of Wilayat (guardianship) is central to Shia Islam, and Bahjat’s interpretations of this concept are particularly noteworthy. He elucidated that Wilayat extends beyond mere political authority, representing a spiritual and moral mandate rooted in the teachings of the Imams. According to Bahjat, recognizing and adhering to the leadership of the Imams is pivotal for personal and communal guidance. This concept, thus, intertwines the spiritual allegiance to the Imams with informed civic participation, illustrating the comprehensive nature of Shia thought.
