Allah (SWT) says "And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you Imam of men. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does not include the unjust, said He." What is the difference between prophet Ibrahim’s leadership (Imamate) and the Infallible Imam’s (PBUH) leadership (Imamate)?
Answer
In the name of Allah: The Imamate of Ibrahim Al-Khaleel (PBUH) was for people only as declared by the Holy Quran, but the Imamate of the Imams (PBUH) was wider than that and was as wide as the prophet's (PBUH) message. The Imamate has levels in terms of its closeness to Allah, knowledge and authority. As we said earlier and repeatedly, each Imam of Ahlulbait (PBUH) was ordered to obey the earlier Imam as it is not possible for the best to obey the good and for the equal to obey whoever equals him. These are some of the differences. Allah knows best.
