Imam By: Ibrahim Machiwala Lodhi
The word Imam (pl. a'imma) is derived from amma, meaning to lead the way, precede, or to lead by example. Thus, the Imam means a model, an exemplar, a teacher, a guide or a path.
With the Prophet, the Khatim al-anbiya (seal of the prophets), the cycle of prophecy (da'irat an-nubuwwa) was closed, but God did not thenceforth leave His people without guidance on the way to Himself. For the majority, the guide was the revealed Book. For the others, the exoteric laws, though accepted, was not enough. For these who became known as the Shi'ites, the guide through this world of divine wisdom (hikma ilahiyya) was the infallible Imam. The Imam is also Wali Allah and the closing of the prophetical cycle heralded the opening of another, i.e., the da'irat al-walaya.
