Abstract: The main issue of this article is to present a special way of proving Imamate. The Imamate of Imam Ali (AS) is proved by narrative proofs, both successive verses and traditions and other Imams (AS) by means of narrative proofs. But for the author, the proof of the Imamate of each of the infallible Imams also has ways other than narrative proofs. These proofs are of considerable number and one can argue for the Imamate of all Imams in various ways. The sum of the arguments put forward or the arguments that can be presented are either traditional or rational. Numerous arguments can be given through rational reason in an independent and non-independent rational way. In this article, using the simplest rational arguments, we analyze and prove the main problem. Obviously, the discussion of the guardianship is essential and, of course, practical because of its specific role in human life and Islamic sciences. Keywords: Imamate, Wilayati Tashri`i, Rational Proof, Narrative Proof, Special Proof
