Moreover, apart from legislative guidance, the imam, through developmental and inner guidance, guides talented hearts and brings them to the desired [end]. This importance among the instances of an imam’s importance plays an important role in [helping] people progress towards Hayat-e Taiba [(The good life)]. In this paper, the fundamental question in focus read as “What is the role of imam’s guidance based on orders in the formation of the utopian society?” Based on the conducted research, achieving such a society requires constant preparation, guidance and training which cannot be undertaken by the ordinary human, and it should be taken up as a responsibility by a leader who possesses all [aspects of] human perfection and moral virtues, so that this leader can quench human innate nature’s thirst. An imam is a unique personality who, as an infallible person selected by the Creator and dependent on divine knowledge, by having all these features, can guide and train people and [help them] reach the desired [end]. Therefore, the importance of and imam’s guidance based on orders plays a significant role in realizing this deep-rooted human wish.
