===Islam=== ====Universal teachings==== [[Islam]] teaches that the teachings and guidance by the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Prophets]] with regard to bringing the message of the One true God is infallible. Islam also teaches that the [[Quran]] is an infallible text.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hasan |first=Ahmad |title=The Concept of Infallibility in Islam |date=1972 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/20833049 |journal=Islamic Studies |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=1β11 |jstor=20833049 |issn=0578-8072}}</ref> ====Additional Shi'a teachings==== {{main|Ismah}} In [[Shi'a]] theology, one of the two branches of [[Islam]], the belief is that the [[Ahl al-Bayt]], including [[Muhammad]], his daughter [[Fatima Zahra]] and [[Shi'a Imams]] are all infallible. It is believed that they are infallible in the sense that all statements or teachings made by them can be relied on to be certainly true, that all information believed by themselves is true, and that they have complete knowledge about right and wrong and never intend to disobey God. It is also held by Shi'as that there were 124,000 [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Prophets]], beginning with [[Adam (Bible)|Adam]] and ending with [[Muhammad]] β with all, including the last, being infallible in the same sense as the Ahl al-Bayt.<ref>{{Cite web|url= http://www.shianews.com/hi/articles/islam/0000006.php |work=Shia News |title=Infallibility of the Prophets|access-date=2007-05-14}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.answering-ansar.org/shia_viewpoint/khalifatullah_in_shia/en/index.php|work=Answering Ansar |title=The Khalifatullah in Shi'a belief|access-date=2007-05-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070527090215/http://www.answering-ansar.org/shia_viewpoint/khalifatullah_in_shia/en/index.php|archive-date=2007-05-27|url-status=dead}}</ref>
