Authorities Whose Obedience is Commanded by Allah (S.w.T.)
The chain of the Divine WilÄyat extends from the noble Prophets (a.s.), the Imams (a.s.) and also consist of the NawwÄb ul Khassa[2] during the period of Minor occultation. Discussing this the Qur’an says,
“Whoever obeys the Apostle, he indeed obeys Allah...”
(Surah an-NisÄ’ 4:80).
And also,
“and whatever the Apostle gives you, accept it and from whatever he forbids you, keep back, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil).”
(Surah al-Hashr 59:7)
Further Allah (S.w.T.) says,
“O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those who have authority among you.”
(Surah an-NisÄ’ 4:59)
