The second proof an Imam is hujja is shown by the inner guidance the Imam provides for mankind "for he is a channel of divine grace which comes to him inwardly from the suprasensible realm". The Imam with his extensive knowledge of the different levels of human behavior and spiritual faith, is able to influence others thoughts and inner beings to help aid them in the refinement of their souls and inward journey. The Imam's divine guidance from God gives him the ability to lead and influence, which is why the Imam is hujja (proof of God).
