[God] has not left the earth without an Imam on it for the community, who states the truth and who serves as the proof.” Qadi al-Nu'man
Posted Tweet by The Ismaili IIS on X

Qadi al-Nu‘man, a leading #Ismaili jurist & theologian, under 4 #Fatimid Imams—from al-Mahdi (founder) to al-Mu‘izz.
He affirms a core Ismaili doctrine : a living Imam who guides humanity as bearer of truth (ḥaqq) & God’s proof (ḥujja)

In this context:
• Haqa (ö»)
Means Truth — not just factual truth, but ultimate divine reality, justice, and what is right.
When used for the Imam, it means the Imam is the bearer and interpreter of God's true guidance.
• Hujja (ü0)
Means Proof or Divine authority/evidence.
In Ismaili understanding, the Imam is the living "proof of God" on earth—a clear, present guide through whom God's guidance is known.
