The Shafi’I jurist al-Mawardi (362-448) stated: “Imamate is prescribed to succeed Prophethood as a means of protecting the Deen and of managing the affairs of this world. There is a consensus of opinion (amongst the scholars – Ijmaa’ al-‘Ulama) that the person who discharges the responsibilities of this position must take on the contract of Imamate of the Ummah.” Imam al-Baghdadi, commenting on the shaaz (irregular) views of those who said Khilafah is not wajib, said: “The companions of the Prophet have agreed on the obligation (of the Khilafah), and there is no significance to the opposition of al-Futa (Kharijite) and al-Assam (mu’atazalite) when we have an Ijmaa’ of the Sahabah.”
