What is the meaning of Wilayah at-Tashri’iyyah? guardianship over the enactment of laws, legislation in religious matters, financial, economic, political, judicial, criminal, social and personal conditions, education and training and other matters is called Wilayah at-Tashri’iyyah. [1] At first, we should know that, as the sole creator of the universe, the ultimate authority in shari’ah is for none other than Allah (swt). No one has any right or legitimacy to enact and implement their own made-up rules and force others to follow them. “It is only Allah Who decides. He has commanded that you worship none but Him…”[2] However, Allah (swt) has exclusively granted authority to Rasulullah (s) and his progeny (as) on matters related to shari’ah. Since they have the needed divine knowledge and infallibility for decision-making in this regard. They have the authority in religious affairs and they are permitted, by Allah(swt), to ratify the shari’ah rulings, comprehensively and in all aspects, for the people. This matter is mentioned in the verses of the Qur'an: "It is not for any believer man or woman to have the choice in the affair when a matter is decreed by Allah and His Prophet...."[3] or “Only Allah is your wali (guardian) and His Apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow”[4] or “O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.”[5] Imam Baqir (as) says in the interpretation of this verse: We are the only ones who are the »'uwli al'amr«, because all the believers have been ordered to obey us (Ahl al-Bayt) until the Day of Resurrection.[6] Therefore their sayings (Hadith), actions, and even their non-verbal confirmation of others’ actions (Taqrir) are important and carry legal weight. “Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatever he forbids you from, leave it”.[7] [1] . Wilayah at-takwiniyyah and Wilayah at-tashri’iyyah /Lotfollah Safi Golpayegani/p.110 [2] .

What are the different types of Wilayah? According to the use of Wilayah in the holy Qur'an, it can be said that the word Wilayah can be divided into Satanic Wilayah and Divine Wilayah: " One who accepts Satan as his guardian, instead of Allah, has certainly incurred a great loss upon himself "[1] "Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into the light"[2] But in the words of the scholars, when describing the types of guardianship,They express the divine guardianship, which is a real and inherent guardianship and belongs to Allah in essence, and Allah has given this guardianship to His prophets and imams. Therefore, it is stated that there are two types of guardianship: Takwiniyyah (natural), and Tashri'iyyah (legal). Wilayah at-takwiniyyah means that the Prophet and Imam have extraordinary power and can take over the world of creation, like giving life to a clay bird and making it come alive.[3] Wilayah at-tashri’iyyah means that the Prophet and the Imam are recognized by Allah as the owner of the Sharia law and are allowed to legislate and express the rulings. "It is not for any believer man or woman to have the choice in the affair when a matter is decreed by Allah and His Prophet...."[4] [1] .An-Nisa: 119,""وَ مَنْ يَتَّخِذِ الشَّيْطانَ وَلِيًّا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ خَسِرَ خُسْراناً مُبِيناً [2] .Al-Baqarah: 257, اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ...""
