قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

امامت؛ رهبری مادی و معنوی

این آیه در بارة پیامبرانی که از ایشان یاد شده» سخن می‌گوید و آنها را «امام» و پیشوای مردم معرفی می‌کند. به این پیامبران» خداوند علاوه بر مقام نبوت و رسالت» مقام امامت نیز داده است. امامت, آخرین مرحلةٌ سیر تکاملی انسان است که به معنای رهبری همه جانبهٌ مادی و معنوی, ظاهری و باطنی» جسمی و روحی مردم است. فرق نبوت و رسالت با امامت این است که پیامبران در مقام نوت و رسالت» تنها فرمان حق را دریافت می‌کنند و از آن خبر می‌دهند و به مردم ابلاغ می‌کنند؛ ابلاغی توام با بشارت و انذار. در مرحلةٌ امامت اما آنها این برنامه‌های الهی را اجرا می‌کنند؛ از طریق تشکیل حکومت عدل یا بدون آن. در این مرحلهء آنها مربی» مجری احکام و برنامه‌هاء پرورش‌دهندة انسان‌ها و به وجود آورندةٌ محیطی پاک و منزه و انسانی هستند. مقام امامت مقام تحقق بخشیدن به تمام برنامه‌های المهی است؛ به تعبیر دیگرء ایصال (رساندن) به مطلوب و هدایت تشریعی و تکوینی است. امام از این نظر درست به خورشید می‌ماند که با اشعة خودء موجودات زنده را پرورش می‌دهد.!
