الإمامة


Explanation:
1) if this text is about Islamic Imamate then the word means
الإمامة

and it is not in the term of إمامة الصلاة
but rather points to
إمامة الناس من بعد النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام

such as
واذ ابتلى ابراهيم ربه بكلمات فاتمهن قال اني جاعلك للناس اماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي الظالمين

يوم ندعو كل اناس بإمامهم

وكل شيء احصيناه في إمام مبين

2) if the text is not about Islamic history, the word could mean
نائب الحاكم - الوالي - الخ

في الحالتين، سواء كانت الكلمة عن تاريخ المسيحية في أوروبا أو عن تاريخ الإمامة في الإسلام، فالإمامة في هذا المفهوم تعني أحقية الولاية على الناس بتفويض إلهي، ومثال على ذلك التفويض الإلهي للنبي إبراهيم عليه السلام في جعله إماماً للناس ومن ذريته ممن لا يَظلمون.
وهذا المفهوم استخدم في تاريخ الكنيسة الرومانية لممارسة سلطة مطلقة بادعاء التفويض الإلهي والذي كان سارياً كذلك في العصور الرومانية الوثنية
