( پیرآف اوگالی شریف‎, Khushab)

The month of Muharram is upon us- a month of sacrifice, a month of love and valor all rolled into one- a time which has left a lasting impression in the sands of time. A month where Sayyeda-as-Shuhada Imam Hussain (Razi Allah Ahnu)'s family made the biggest sacrifice ever in the history of Islam ONLY so that we- the muslim Ummah today can still call ourselves muslims and continue practicing Islam- a blessing from ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala).
 
Their sacrifices were so great that one cannot even put them into words as words will get over but mention of their sacrifices will not. During this blessed month- remembrance of their sacrifice is often done through increased nawafil, by keeping fasts, tilawat-e-Quran,zikr and other meritorious acts which InshaALLAH will earn us closeness to ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) & to the Blessed Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and to the ahle-bayt.

The Ahle-Bayt- the family of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam through Maula Ali Razi Allah Anhu & Hazrat-e-Bibi Fatima Razi Allah Anhu, a family synonymous with strength of Emaan & strength of character. A family which has been mentioned in the Holy Quran by ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala). A family whose companionship is not only beneficial in this life but also in the hereafter.

But, indeed the road to goodness and Taqwa is always impaired by the Satan. In today's civilised and advanced world- camaraderie with the saints and the pious people is considered old-fashioned, baseless and some people have even gone to the extent of calling it a sin! They claim that friendship with the pious people in order to gain closeness to ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) is wrong as one can gain closeness to ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) simply by completing their faraiz. They also claim that there is no special bond between ALLAH and the ahle-bayt- and say that infact the people of the Ahle-bayt are simply ordinary folks like everyone else!!

But these same people who claim that there is no bond between ALLAH and them and also that they are just plain-old common people are the same ones who believe in the Queen of England and her heritage! Such hypocrites are even very proud of their own lineage and trace back to their ancestors being land-lords and plantation owners but forget that the Ahle- Bayt are the inheritors of heaven!

The Ahle-Bayt are the ones who can trace their lineage back to the Most Beloved of all- ALLAH's Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam! Imagine a person saying that they are from the same family on whom ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) bestowed HIS favours upon. There is a hadith narrated from Maula Ali ( ) that states that Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said to Hazrate Fatimah ( ), “Indeed ALLAH becomes angry when you are angry and HE is pleased when you are pleased.” Subhan ALLAH!

This is but one of the many Hadiths and verses of the Holy Quran where ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has commanded HIS followers to love and respect and keep companionship with the family of HIS Beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam and in this article I will enumerate just a few as the rest can be found in my upcoming book- "The Ahle-Bayt- Inheritors of Heaven"- InshaALLAH.

This article has a special place in this month of Muharram for even if on the normal days- these hypocrites can shun the Ahle-bayt but then what about the month of Muharram- which is covered in their pure blood shed ONLY for the love of ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) and HIS true religion- Islam? I hope that after reading this article- the people out there who are not currently keeping company with the pious and the God-fearing will change their directions and go towards them and not away from them…

I have listed below few verses from the Holy Quran which states the importance of Ahle-Bayt followed by Hadiths.

Hadrat Shibli Nu'mani, Rahmatullahi 'alayh, writes in his book, Sirat-e-Nu'mani that "the Ahle-Bayt were the fountainhead of Hadith, Fiqh, and in fact, all religious learning,"and because of this truth, many seekers of Islamic knowledge sought after Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, (Radi Allahu 'Anh), as he possessed great knowledge of the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah of Sayyidina Rasul-e-Akram (Salla Allahu alayhi wa Aalihi wa Sallim). Many of the Tabi'een, Taba at-Tabi'een, fuqaha, and mujtahideen, related and reported numerous Islamic sciences on the authority of Imam Muhammad al-Baqir, (Radi Allahu 'Anh), as he was distinguished for his extensive knowledge of Islamic science and for his subtle indication as to the meanings of the Ayats of the Noble Qur'an. Because of the great knowledge of Hadith that ALLAH blessed him with, his name is found in the isnad of many Sahih Ahadith collections. He was also known for his conveying the history and life of Nabi Akram, (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim), and his family. He became recognised as one of the Fuqaha of Madinah who many learned men would come to for answers to questions of jurisprudence. A famous quote from him that describes this station held by the Ahle-Bayt came from the question he was asked regarding ALLAH's Ayat in Surah an-Nahl: "Ask the Ahl al-Dhikr if you do not know", to which he answered: "We are the Ahl al-Dhikr."

The Verse of Purity (Ayat Al-Tathir):

"... ALLAH only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! And to purify you a (thorough) purifying." Noble Qur'an (33:33)

The above verse from Noble Qur'an, is known as Ayat Al-Tathir, refers to the members of the household of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, which include exclusively Prophet Muhammad, Imam Ali, Fatima Zahra, Imam Hasan, and Imam Hussain (peace be upon them all). Hence Prophet Muhammad's sallallahu alaihi wasallam other offspring, wives, sons of paternal uncles, and dwellers of his house are not to be called as Prophet Muhammad's Ahle Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt).

This argument is based on the genuine and authentic traditions narrated by the Sahaba, companions of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam recorded in both the Sunni and Shia sources.

Mawaddat al-Qurba (al-Mawaddah Fil-Qurba) or Expressed love for the close of kin:

In this Last Word of ALLAH (Noble Qur'an), Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is being commanded to ask the believers to love his kith and kin (that is his Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt)) and that would be the return of his apostleship. Hence, to love the Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt) has been obligatory (wajib) command of ALLAH on every Muslim.

"Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives." Noble Qur'an (42:23)

The Verse of Malediction (Mubahala):

"But whoever disputes with you (O' Muhammad) in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge then say: Come, let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our selves and your selves, then let us beseech ALLAH and invoke HIS curse upon the liars." Holy Quran (3:61)

The Verse of Prayer (Salat):

"Surely ALLAH and HIS angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! Call for (divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation." Holy Quran (33:56)

In his 'Tafsir al-Kabir', Fakhruddin Razi, commenting on the above verse, narrates the following quotation from the Prophet, who was asked by some of his companions on how to send blessings upon him. ALLAH's Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam replied: "Say: 'O ALLAH, send blessings on Muhammad and on Muhammad's progeny as You sent blessings on Abraham and on Abraham's progeny; and send grace on Muhammad and on Muhammad's progeny, as You sent grace on Abraham and on Abraham's progeny, You are the Praiseworthy, the Glorious."' Before giving this narration, Razi interprets the verse and comments: 'This is a proof of the Shafi'i school, because order means an obligation; so, to send blessings on the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is obligatory, at least in the Tashahhud (testimony during the prayers) if not elsewhere."

Razi further argues: 'If ALLAH and HIS angels send their blessings on him (the Prophet), then what need is there for our blessings?" He, himself, provides the answer: 'When we send blessings on him, it is not because he is in need of them, but, because of already having ALLAH's blessings, he does not even require the blessings of the angels. When we send, we send to glorify ALLAH, and, also, it (sending blessings) reveals our gratitude towards ALLAH, so that HE may have compassion on us and reward us. That is why the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said; "Whoever sends blessings on me once, ALLAH will send blessings on him ten times."

The Verse of Feeding:

"The righteous truly drink of a cup tempered with camphor - A fountain from which the servants of Allah drink, making it flow in abundance. They fulfil vows and fear a day, the evil of which is widespread. And they give food, out of love for Him, to the poor and the orphan and the captive. We feed you, for Allah's pleasure only - We desire from you neither reward nor thanks. Surely we fear from our Lord a stem, distressful day. So Allah will ward off from them the evil of that day, and cause them to meet with splendour and happiness; And reward them, for their steadfastness, with a Garden and with silk." Holy Quran (76:5-13)

These verses of the Holy Quran speak of the Ahlul-Bayt, and places them at the top of preference and piety and shows them as examplars and models for mankind so that the generations are rightly guided through them and follow their right way. The historical occasion to which these blessed verses refer is the great status of Ahlul-Bayt . When Ali, Fatima and their two sons Hasan and Husein (peace be upon them all) fasted for three consecutive days, and each day at the time of breaking the fast some needy person, as verse number eight indicates, appeared and the Ahlul-Bayt gladly fed him, and themselves passed the nights without food. ALLAH was so pleased by the generosity of the Prophet's Household that HE converted their actions into verses of the Glorious Quran to serve as guidance for the Muslims. These verses not only portray the Ahlul-Bayt's total submission to ALLAH's Will, but, also, reveal them as pure and spotless personalities; promised esteem and admiration among the dwellers of Paradise. They are shown as immaculate models of emulation so that whoever, among the Muslim communities, follows their glowing path will achieve salvation and will be assembled in their illustrious company on the Resurrection Day.

Zamakhshari, in his 'Kashshaf' commenting on this verse, narrates from Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas Razi Allah Anhu - that once Hasan and Husein (Peace be upon them) fell sick and the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, together with some of his companions, visited his sick grandsons. He suggested that Maula Ali Razi Allah Anhu should make a vow to ALLAH for his sons' health. Heeding the Prophet's suggestion Ali, Fatima (peace be upon them) along with their maid, Fidha, took a vow that if the boys recovered, they would fast for three consecutive days. Eventually, Hasan and Husein (Peace be upon them) recovered and to fulfill the vow they also fasted along with their parents and maid. Since there was nothing in the house to eat, Maula Ali Razi Allah Anhu borrowed from Sham'un, a Khaibarian Jew, three measures of barely. Fatima Razi Allah Anhu grounded one measure into flour and baked it into five loaves (of bread) equal to their number, and placed these before them for breaking the fast. Just then a beggar stopped at their door and said: "al-Salaam Alaikum (peace be upon you), O Ahlul-Bayt of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, (I am) one of the poorest of Muslims (so), feed me, may ALLAH feed you of the food of Paradise!" So they gladly gave him all the food and slept that night, tasting nothing but water." They fasted again the next day and at sunset as they placed the bread before them to break the fast, an orphan knocked on the door asking for food and they cheerfully fed him, themselves going without food for yet another day. On the third day of the fast, as the breaking time approached, and the food was spread, a prisoner (of war) suddenly appeared at their door and the same scenario was repeated, with the Prophet's Ahlul-Bayt passing the third successive night without tasting a morsel of food. Zamakhshari continues that when dawn broke Maula Ali Razi Allah Anhu holding the hands of Hasan and Husein (Peace be upon them all) came to the Prophet's sallallahu alaihi wasallam house. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam seeing their pale countenances and noting that they were trembling from hunger, expressed dismay and at once accompanied them to their house. On entering the house, he was shocked to see the sight of his daughter Fatima Razi Allah Anhu, sitting hollow-eyed on her prayer mat, her stomach sunk into her back. It was, then, that the angel Jibriel Razi Allah Anhu came down with this verse, saying: "O Muhammad, ALLAH congratulates you for (the sacrifice of) your household. Then he recited the mentioned verse.

The Verse of Guardianship (Wilaya):

"Only ALLAH is your Guardian and HIS Apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while in (Ruku'). And whoever takes ALLAH and HIS Apostle and those who believe as HIS guardian, then surely the party of ALLAH are they that shall be triumphant" Holy Quran (5:55-5)

"It was revealed in favour of Ali (May Allah enlighten his face) when a beggar asked him (for alms) while he was in the position of Ruku' during prayer, and he gave away his ring (in the same position). It seems it was loose on his little
finger, for he did not exert any effort in taking it off, which would have nullified his prayer.

Imam al-Shafi'i Razi Allah Anhu- one of the four Imams of the Sunni school of thought has said-"O Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt)! ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) has made it obligatory in the Noble Qur'an to love you. It is a matter of pride for you that without invoking blessing on you, prayer is not valid." Again he says in his verses, "After having seen that the people have chosen different ways which have led them to the Ocean of deviation and ignorance. I have, in the name of ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala), embarked the ship which may lead me to safety. The Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt) of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam are, that very ship. We have also been ordered to hold fast the rope of ALLAH (Subhanahu wa ta'ala), and that rope is their love."

In his last khutbah- ALLAH's Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said “I am about to answer the call (of death). Verily, I leave behind two precious things (thaqalayn) amongst you: the Book of ALLAH and my Ahle-al-Bayt. Verily, the two will never separate until they come back to me by the side of the Pond.”

This authentic hadith from the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam is narrated by over 30 of his Companions and recorded by a large number of Sunni scholars. Some of the famous sources for this hadith include:

al-Hakim al-Naysaburi, alMustadrak `ala al-Sahihayn (Beirut), volume 3, pages 109110, 148, and 533). He expressly states that the tradition is sahih in accordance with the criteria of al-Bukhari and Muslim; al-Dhahabi has confirmed his judgement Muslim, al-Sahih, (English translation), book 031, numbers 5920-3 al-Tirmidhi, al-Sahih, volume 5, pages 621-2, numbers 3786 and 3788; volume 2, page 219 al-Nasa'i, Khasa'is’Ali ibn Abi Talib, hadith number 79 Ahmad b. Hanbal, al-Musnad, volume 3, pages 14, 17, 26; volume 3, page 26, 59; volume 4, page 371; volume 5, pages 181-2, 189-190 Ibn al-'Athir, Jami` al'usul, volume 1, page 277 Ibn Kathir, alBidayah wa alnihayah, volume 5, page 209. He quotes al-Dhahabi and declares this hadith to be sahih. Ibn Kathir, Tafsir al-Qur’an al-‘Azim , volume 6, page 199 Nasir al-Din al-Albani, Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahiha (Kuwait: al-Dar al-Salafiyya), volume 4, pages 355-8. He lists many chains of narration that he considers reliable.

When the verse "(O Muhammad) Say, 'I do not ask for any reward for this (bringing of Allah's message) except the love for the near kinship.'" (42:23) was revealed, the Muslims asked the Prophet: "Who are these near kin of yours whose love is obligatory upon us?" He replied, "'Ali, Fatima, and their two sons." -al-Hakim al-Naysaburi, alMustadrak `ala al-Sahihayn, volume 2, page 444 al-Qastallani, Irshad al-Sari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari, volume 7, page 331 al-Suyuti, al-Durr al-Manthur, volume 6, pages 6-7 al-Alusi al-Baghdadi, Ruh al-Ma’ani, volume 25, pages 31-2

There are traditions extolling the virtues of Imam-ul-Awliya- Maula Ali (Karram ALLAHu wajhahul kareem).These traditions are narrated from the Holy Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

Hadith Al-Safinah or Safinah Tradition:

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam has compared his Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt) to Noah's ark. Whoever loves and follows them will attain salvation and whoever violates their sanctity will drown. While holding the door of Holy Kaaba, Abu Dharr Razi Allah Anhu told that he had heard Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam say, "My family among you is like Noah's ark. He who sails in it will be safe, but he who holds back from it will perish."

In another place Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: "The parable of my Ahlul Bayt (Ahl al-Bayt) is that of the boat of Noah, whoever gets aboard it is saved and whoever stays away from it is drowned."
