The early Muslims of Islam, despite sharing their views in believing in the Prophet of God (pbuh), disagreed over his successor; in a way, this led to the emergence of two Shiite and Sunni religions.
Meanwhile, Faiz Kashani, as one of the great Shiite scholars, has answered many doubts in this regard and studied the matter of Imamate from the perspective of theology and politics.
The aim of this study is to be able to solve some of the Shiite intellectual and religious concerns and provide a logical answer to some of the doubts raised against the Shiite school. The main question of the research is what is the theological-political thought of Imamate from the perspective of Feyz Kashani with emphasis on verse 55 of Surah Ma'idah in the Holy Quran? The research was performed by descriptive and analytical methods. The finding show that Feyz Kashani, according to the verses of the Qur'an, especially the verse of Wilayah, considers "Imamate" as a divine thing and applies her theories to the text of the Prophet (PBUH). He considers the Imamate as a divine position with a characteristic of infallibility - in the position of Imamate - and considers political system and religious state to be based on the orphanage of the infallible Imam and the divine ruler in the field.
