Imams

21. Who are the 12 Khalifa after Prophet (saws) 22. Dear Mr. Burhan Bhai, Kindly pls let us know the role of Imams who are direct descendants of Prophet (saws). We Shiites believe in 21 Imams, and the 21st Imam has gone in seclusion. Can you explain why? and how did this happen and what is this seclusion? You further state from your various answers to our questions and the archive copies of sabak that lot of innovation has been done to Islam by the present leaders of the communities, but what we believe is, there has been follow-up of the religion through the Fatemi Imams and you very well know they are the direct descendants of the Prophet (saws). Hence, what we follow today is may be what the Imams used to preach. Therefore, unless you specifically and authentically advise the role of all the 21 Imams then only would I believe what you are saying in your sabak is correct. Awaiting your favourable reply by immediate return. 23. Imams vis--vis Al-Quran 24. Rejecting the chosen Amir 25. Principle in chosing Amir at Saqeefa
