Infallibility, ‘Ismah (عِصْمَة‎) in Arabic, is the special cognitive state that keeps a person from committing sin and prevents any temptations. An infallible person, or simply "infallible" (ma’sum معصوم in Arabic), is someone immune from any error and wrongdoing. Infallibles make no mistakes and are bestowed with the gift of knowledge from Allah himself. Shia Muslims believe that it is imperative for leaders chosen by Allah to be infallible, because their job is to guide humanity and convey the divine scripture to them. This means that every prophet from Adam to Muhammad is infallible. In addition to the prophets, members of Ahlulbayt (the family of the prophet) are also infallible.
