hujjatga

Hujjatga is a term with roots in Arabic, commonly found in Islamic contexts, particularly within Shia Islam. It broadly translates to "proof" or "evidence." In its most significant usage, hujjatga refers to one of the titles given to the Twelve Imams, who are considered divinely appointed leaders by Shia Muslims. The full title is Hujjat Allah, meaning "Proof of God." This designation signifies their role as infallible guides and the ultimate source of divine guidance on Earth after the Prophet Muhammad.

The concept of Hujjat Allah emphasizes the Imams' authoritative knowledge of God's will and their ability to interpret Islamic law and scripture with absolute accuracy. They are seen as the living embodiment of divine truth, and their teachings and actions serve as irrefutable evidence for believers. This understanding underpins the veneration and respect accorded to the Imams within Shia theology and practice. The term can also be used more generally in Islamic jurisprudence to denote any form of conclusive evidence or argument that establishes the truth of a claim.
