Abstract
Although, Imam Reza (AS) implies Tawhid (Oneness) and Vellaya (Guardianship) OF Allah in “There is no god except Allah/ لا اله الا الله” in his sayings, he expresses the sentence “بشرطها و شروطها و انا من شروطها” and directs Muslims’ attention to the Velaya of Innocence Imams and in this way he links Tawhid to Imamah and creates an epistemic and practical commitment. The saying of Imam means that reaching to Tawhid position and entering the territory of God results in security and immunity for human and such an entry is only possible through belief in God’s Hojja (Proof of God) and accepting their Velaya; they are all mirrors of God’s characters, principles and fundamentals of Tawhid, and represent God’s Velaya. Their satisfaction is equal to God’s satisfaction and referring to them means referring to God. Moreover, another Hadith is used which says Velaya of The commander of the Faith is the secure shelter of God and accepting his Velaya and his government is the source of the dignity of the Muslim Ummah and relieves discomfort and confusion of human being. Using Quranic verses and mystical texts, this articles strives to explain relationship between Tawhid with Imamah and Velaya, as well as its role in immunizing and saving human being from deviations in behavior and belief.
