"We must consider that Allah knows and sees our deeds in every respect and we must obey His commands. It is our obligation not to serve any but Allah and not to obey anyone else except the Holy Prophet (S) and the A'immat al-Huda (infallible Imams of Guidance) whom we are commanded to obey by the order of Allah. The Almighty Allah states: 'O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you...(4:59).'"
