4. Characteristics of the Prophets
In the Shia framework, Prophets possess certain innate qualities that designate them for their consequential roles. These attributes encompass infallibility (‘Ismah’), profound knowledge (‘Ilm’), and moral integrity (‘Akhlaq’). Infallibility is particularly emphasized, with the belief that Prophets are shielded from sin and error, allowing them to be the pristine conveyors of divine instruction. This characteristic positions them as flawless exemplars, whose actions and decisions are rooted in direct communion with Allah.
