Abstract

One of the features of divine hujjas is having special knowledge about Imamate, and Shiite theologians and narrators have defined areas for Imam's knowledge. What all Shiites agree on is the Imam's knowledge of what is haram and halal by Allah and the teachings of the Qur'an, among which is the knowledge of the correct recitation of the Qur'an and the grammar of Arabic literature. Meanwhile, false claimants such as Ahmad Ismail Basri, after the scandal in the incorrect recitation of the Qur'an, have tried to deny the necessity of correct recitation of the Qur'an and reject the knowledge of grammar of Arabic literature and have examined some verses and hadiths in this regard. This current study with the combined method of descriptive-analytical data processing, by mentioning the background of such claims, while explaining the claim of this current, has reached the conclusion that first, the knowledge of Quran recitation and knowledge of Arabic literature are the requirements of Imamate claim. Second, the verses claimed by the false claimants about the lack of eloquence of Prophet Moses do not indicate the mistakes of this prophet in the incorrect recitation, but rather is the lack of eloquence in communication. Thirdly, the claimed narrations - which are weak in terms of the document and the sources of narrations - refer to the excesses in Arabic literature and the change in the Qur'an with ijtihads without reason.
