The Opinion of Ithna-Ashari (Imamia)Conclusion

One group of orators has given many proof of the compulsory presence of infallibility in the apostles of God. Some can be proven through the others and have replaced the weak proofs with consolidated ones. There are four proofs that can be accepted and are mentioned hereunder.

The Inner action:

In short we can say that sinful deeds are prevented by the souls of the apostles and some of his deeds prevent them.

Ignorance and the absence of foresight into the results of deeds.

 The predominance of carnal desires and greed when he has control over them due to his knowledge and intelligence and when he understands the bad effects of sins.

If a person’s hand is tainted with some one else’s blood, or if someone adopts the path of robbery and bribe or if he gambles and drinks wine or does evil deeds then this is done under two conditions. He is either unaware of the harms of these evil deeds or that he is aware of it but does not control himself due to the intensity of his desires. So only knowledge and information is not enough to protect oneself from evil but a control is required over the self and the desires.

The result of this discussion is that if a person has all the knowledge and information about evil things and he also has control over himself then he will not indulge in sins. (This is what is meant by natural condition which is normal and not intellectually attained like to sides of a river bank that can never meet.)

We can explain this truth through some examples e.g. if a person is aware of the harmful affects of drinking alcohol and he also knows that infamy will also come with these harms for it destroys his intelligence and he can stay away from it, then such a person will not resort to evil deeds. He has intelligence and awareness.

Drinking filthy water is banned so will a sane person drink it? A doctor who is aware of all systems of medicine and all the kinds of diseases will not agree that his patient may drink contaminated water and further from abdominal diseases.

In short we can say that if we are aware of the harmful affects of evil we can save ourselves. Our intelligence, strength, awareness, and faith will keep us away from such evil inclinations no matter how much we face them we will still be protected. So those who know the affects of evil more than us and have the authority also will definitely be aloof from evil.

In other words the defense of infallibility or chastity are found when there is no onslaught of ;personal desires and ignorance and this is the condition of the apostles of God and the Imams because of their knowledge, awareness and piety.

It is no secret that the apostles who are attached to the unlimited knowledge of God are aware of all the ill effects of sins and they ask others not to do such evil deeds. In other words being attached to the unseen knowledge they discern all the ill effects and they have the power to dispel all the inclinations towards lust and greed and this is why Taqwa or abstinence from sin and fear of God) is found in them.
