Wilāyah is one of the ideas ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī explains most fully, above all in his commentary on the Verse of Guardianship (5:55). This map follows him: what the word means, the wilāyah of God, of the Prophet, and of those who believe in 5:55, and the wilāyah the believers may and may not give one another. Each point opens his own words in the commentary.
