Abstract :
The right path is a target and destination for which human being prays God for the relevant training and direction. It is a path which being in line with constitutes the destination and real entity and perfection of mankind. The present paper is the result of a research on the verses of Koran that proves the real mystical matching of a perfect man (same as chaste Imam in Shiite thinking) with the right path without direct reference to mystical ideas. To this end, the interpretation of the Koran after the Koran, as well as contemplation over the verses documented by the library sources are applied. In the end, by means of nine evidences it is concluded that the exclusive mercy and favor of God are bestowed to human being so that out of them the real human creatures are selected to be mortal within the entity of God and everlasting upon His existence, and has made them special through their own knowledge and has adorned them with chastity so that the whole human creatures should abide by their province so as to get connected to His own province. These authentic connected human beings who own provincial attraction and are able to capture and witness the actions and inner heart of others hold the status of divine directors and Imams. The holy Koran introduces them with the adjectives including grace given, pious, truthful, martyrs, purified, chieftain, and the most loyal, and as long as human being exists, only these individuals are the human leaders toward the divine province. As a result, the chaste Imam is a comprehensive emblem of the right path.
