اسلامی امام refers to a religious leader in the context of Islam, particularly within the Shia branch. The term "Imam" signifies a person who leads prayers and provides spiritual guidance to the community. In Shia belief, Imams are considered to be divinely appointed and possess special knowledge and authority. The concept of an Islamic Imam is central to the Twelver sect of Shia Islam, which recognizes a line of twelve Imams, starting with Ali ibn Abi Talib and ending with Muhammad al-Mahdi. These Imams are viewed as infallible and are believed to have a unique connection to God, guiding their followers in both spiritual and temporal matters.
