One of The charges against ‘Ayn al-Quzzāt Hamedānī was propagation
of Ismā‘īlī doctrines, especially the doctrine of infallible Imam. His
idea about the necessity of master’s guidance for aspirants provided the
pretext for his opponents to accuse him. In fact, there are close
similarities between these two concepts, i.e. Imam in Shi’ism and
Master in Sufism, because both Sufis and Shiites believe that there is
an esoteric knowledge beyond the external world which could be
acquired only by a few men. Consequently, as they say, people need
Imam/Master as the successor of the prophet to teach them the secret
truths and to uncover the esoteric meanings of Holy Quran. Since
Imam/Master’s knowledge is inspired by God Shiites/aspirants should
obey him without questioning. However, this doctrine is completely
rejected by the majority of Sunnis.
