The concept of “Wilayate Faqih” means the government of an Islamic society which is headed by someone who has reached the level of Ijtihad (Ability to answer contemporary questions based on Islamic concepts and values by referring to main Islamic sources: Quran and Sunnat in Islamic law). Some consider this concept relatively new in the history of Islamic thought, and say it only dates back to two centuries, while in Shia culture this order which was setup by righteous “Faqihs” (Jurists) during the time of absence [of the imam], in order for the “Share Muqadas” [Holy Legislator] to uphold society. This command has been definite and without doubt, and because of this, instead of discussions on the origin of this topic, more attention has been paid to its requirements and effects which have been further researched. The oldest existing document in reference to wilayate faqih is the book “Maqne’eh” by Sheikh Mufid. The blessed Sheikh Mufid is one of the great scholars of fourth and fifth century (Hijri –Lunar Calendar) Shia history. Over a thousand years have passed since his definitive remarks in this field.
