| Imamah (Leadership): God has appointed specific leaders to lead and guide mankind — a prophet appoints a custodian of the religion before his demise. Refer to Sahih Al-Bukari, Sahih Muslim (Books of Hadiths (or sayings of the prophet of Islam) of the Sunnis) etc. The prophet is reported to have said that the Islamic leadership is in Koreish (i.e. his tribe) and that 12 "Imams" or "Princes" shall succeed him. There is a difference of opinion within Sunni and Shiite sects as to whom Muhammad was referring. It is also important to mention that the Islamic prophet has stated, and this statement has been authenticated by Sunnis and Shiites alike, that "Whoever does not know the Imam of his Lifetime (i.e. recognizes the Leader of his time) has died the death of Ignorance". Again, this statement has different interpretations and consequences with different Sunni and Shiite sects (or Schools of thought). The idea of a prophet appointing a successor is also found in the Old Testament where Joshua son of Nun is declared Moses' successor or manager of his affairs after his death.

Shias believe that God has appointed certain members of humankind to be the leaders of those who believe in God and practise God's religion. When God's prophet has taught the people the religion, he will then appoint a leader, in accordance with God's orders, to guide believers towards perfection.
Shias believe that just as the prophet Moses appointed Aaron as his successor, in accordance with God's order, Muhammad, the final prophet, appointed Ali ibn Abi Talib to be the leader of the believers. Muhammad is reported to have said that the Islamic leadership is in Koreish (i.e. his tribe) and that 12 "Imams" or "Princes" shall succeed him. There is a difference of opinion within Sunni and Shiite sects as to whom Muhammad was referring.

Imāmah means "leadership" and it is obligatory for all Shia Muslims to believe in Imamah. They conclude that the Qur'an and the authentic collections of Hadith provide sufficient evidence that God has assigned certain people with the position of Imamah, or "leadership". Such a figure is referred to as an Imam. The Quran (Arabic: al-qurÄn, literally the recitation; also called Al QurÄn Al KarÄ«m or The Noble Quran; or transliterated Quran, Koran, and less commonly Alcoran) is the holy book of Islam. ...

Responsibilities Shias believe that an Imam has several responsibilites. An Imam must lead Muslims in all aspects of life. In addition, they believe that because an Imam was appointed by God, like Prophets and Messengers, they are infallible. Shias accept the Imams as perfect human beings. Shi'ism teaches that Imams must be obeyed. A Prophet can also be an Imam, but not all Prophets are Imams. The prophet Muhammad is considered by Muslims to be God's final prophet. Shias do not consider that the twelve Imams are prophets. They believe that these twelve Imams are greater in status than all of God's prophets except Muhammad. Muhammad is a common Muslim male name. ...
