The Imamites claim that the imamah was transferred into Ali and his descendants after the Prophet. The assertation, whose content is political in fact, acquired the religious/dogmatic characteristic and was converted into the subject of faith and was, in general, supported by the religious arguments at the later times. The concept of Ahl al-Bayt played a central role on the establishing of Imamite political theory as well as on the formation of Imamite knowledge and culture. The Imamites generally base the conceptual contest of Ahl al-Bayt, their identities and religious status on the Qur’an and Sunnah, namely religious texts and on the historical-cultural facts that contribute to understand the mentioned texts; The objective investigations on the religious-historical foundations of Imamite claims concerned with Ahl al-Bayt will help us to comprehend the nature of shiite imamite separating that muslim community lived.
