The Shia perspective emphasizes that these individuals are not gods or deities in their own right but rather revered figures through whom Allah’s mercy and grace are channeled. The pure souls of the Imams, distinguished for their wisdom and piety, serve as alternate pathways through which believers can articulate their needs and aspirations.

These questions invite deeper introspection on the delicate balance between reverence and the ultimate worship of the Divine.
