The Ahl Al-Bayt are the family of the Prophet (ﷺ), the followers of his Sunnah, bearing the trust and carrying the banner of monotheism. They sacrificed their lives to uphold the truth against falsehood. It is absolutely impermissible to abandon them under any pretext or circumstance. Rather, it is incumbent upon the Ummah to stand by them, support them vigorously, and never forsake them, in adherence to the command of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
One of the primary goals of the Ahl Al-Bayt is to call the Ummah to unity, cohesion, and to reject discord, returning to the unifying phrase of Tawhid: 'La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasulu Allah.' The aim is to become like a single body, leaning on the love of the Ummah for the Ahlul-Bayt, and accepting sincere advice from them. Indeed, love for them is rooted in faith, and through it, believers draw closer to Allah, the Exalted.
Understanding the status and position of the Ahl Al-Bayt in the eyes of Allah, His Messenger, the Companions, the Followers, and those who followed them in righteousness and excellence. Clarifying their rights that Allah has ordained upon the Ummah, as enjoined by the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him.
Overlooked by Sheikh Yehya Al-Husseini Al-Hashemi (Yehya Katab) great scholar and world-renowned personality, as well as a leading figure and member of the Ahl Al Bayt.
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا
{( الأحزاب : 33 ) }الآية
"Allah intends to remove all impurity [of sin] from you, O People of the [Prophet's] Household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification.'"
Al-Ahzaab (42:23)
قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى
{(23):الشورى} الآية
"(O Muhammad) Say, 'I do not ask for any reward for this (bringing of Allah's message) except the love for the near kinship."
AL-SHURA (23)
قال رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم: {{ أمَّا بَعْدُ ، أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَ ، وَأَنَا تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ ثَقَلَيْنِ, أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَخُذُوا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ ، وَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ ، فَحَثَّ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي }} صحيح مسلم {2408}
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ssaid: 'Amma Ba'du (now then)! O people, certainly I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger of Allah my Lord (the angel of death) and I respond. And I am leaving among you two weighty things: There first of which is the Book of Allah. In is guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.' So he exhorted (us) (to hold fast to it) and encouraged it then said, 'And the members of my household, I remind you of Allah with regards (of your duties) to the انما members of my family."'
[Muslim 2408].
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {{ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِي أَحَدُهُمَا أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الآخَرِ: كِتَابُ اللهِ حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ ، وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي ، وَلَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الحَوْضَ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِي فِيهِمَا }} جامع الترمذي {3788} وصححه الالباني
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"Indeed, I am leaving among you, that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me. One of them is greater than the other: The Book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and my family - the people of my house - and they shall not split until they meet at the Hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me." ]Jami at-Tirmidhi[
The teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) extensively emphasize the virtue and elevated status of the Ahl al-Bayt (Arabic: People of the House). This sacred lineage, directly linked to the Prophet, has been blessed by Allah with numerous virtues. Understanding the profound interest within Muslim communities to delve deeper into the life and lineage of the Prophet (PBUH) and his family, the Council of the Prophets Grandchildren has undertaken a significant role.
