(20) Without placing a caliph on earth who is knowledgeable about the whole of Islam and can teach it to Muslims, it is not possible for them to establish the whole of Islam and therefore, requiring them to do so is against justice. Hence, God has never obligated Muslims to establish the whole of Islam except after leaving someone among them with the knowledge of the whole for their education and guidance; as he has said as a rule: “And there is a guide for any nation”.

3	3	Introductions; Knowledge; Necessity of and how to gaining knowledge (Ijtihad) If one is left between not knowing and not practicing, which one will have less consequences for him in the world and the hereafter? That is, which one is more excused in the opinion of God: one who has sought knowledge and does not practice it, or one who has the capability to acquire knowledge but does not seek awareness for fear of not practicing?	Hamed Sotudeh	11/12/2015
2	2	Introductions; Knowledge; Necessity of and how to gaining knowledge (Ijtihad) In sciences and techniques such as engineering, agriculture, management, economics, etc., in which different hypotheses, theories, principles and rules exist or are presented, usually a consensus of group of experts for proving the presented theories is acceptable. The question is, whether in these types of science, similar to beliefs and religious laws, one should refer to the Caliph of God? Is consensus problematic in these cases as well?	Ali Razi	14/11/2015
