Abstract
Predestination and free will is among the fundamental issues related to other important issues such as the purpose of human creation, the prophetic mission, the appointment of imams and resurrection; therefore, taking the wrong viewpoint on this issue can overshadow the other ones. Adopting a historical perspective, the present study tries to follow the evolution of this issue in Imamah theology. Although the doctrine of Amr-e Bayn al-Amryan is clearly mentioned in the words of the leaders of Shia and it is now accepted in Imamah doctrine, it had no place in the theological tradition of Imamah for centuries.
