Abstract :

Human society needs a management system to maintain peace and order. The religion of Islam has devised Wilayyah and Imamah (religious guardianship and leadership) for the prosperity of Muslims and proper implementation of its laws. Quran and other Islamic texts have included many facts in this regard. On the occasion of Ghadir Khom, The holy prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH), settled the issue of succession so that there always exists Allah's Hojat (demonstrative reasoning) on the earth. Shiite literature has fulfilled its right by some poets displaying their artistic skills in this regard.
