Allah has issued a series of Prophets for the guidance of humanity, the first link of which is Prophet Adam and last link is seal of the prophets Mohammad peace be upon him. After the demise of the prophet, it is necessary for the collective implementation of Shariah that the common Muslims may appoint an eligible and competent individual from themselves as the head who could enforce the comma-ndments of Shariah collectively. This chosen individual is called "Imam" and the office he serves is called "Higher Imamate" or "Caliphate". In the following essay, the same issues of installation of Imamate and its relatives have been reviewed.
