In The Glorious Qur'an-
the revealed word of
Almighty Allah, to His
last and greatest
Prophet, Muhammad
(s.a.w.)-there is a verse
Which speaks of the
Prophet’s family
ALLAH(swt) commands his prophet to ask the people to love his family in return for all the hard work and suffering that he endured during his prophetic mission.
BUT……………..
Who are the members of the Prophet’s family that this verse speaks of?
Also there is another verse
which refers to the same
blessed family of the holy
Messenger -33:33
………Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! And to purify you a (thorough) purifying." Holy Qur'an (33:33)
Why did ALLAH (swt) in
his infinite wisdom, want
to purify this family in
addition to asking the
believers to Love and
obey them?
Yet another verse talks of
this family in the holy
Quran…………
VERSE 3:61
But whoever disputes with you 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 be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.
Holy Quran 3:61
Verse 3:61 is called the ayat of
Mubahela and it was revealed on
the eve of a debate with the
Christian scholars of Najran after
prophet Muhammad and the
Christians were unable to arrive
on any mutual understanding.
The next morning, in obeying this
commandment, MUHAMMAD
emerged from his house with his
closest family. He came and
stood with this family in front of
the Christian bishops who also
came forward to perform the
Mubahela.
He held the hand of
HASSAN walking
beside him, held HUSSAIN in his arms,
followed by
his daughter FATIMA
and finally by his son-in-law and cousin
ALI.
The Prophet came and
stood with this family
in front of the
Christian bishops who
also came forward to perform the Mubahela.
The chief of the Christians
was bishop Abul Harris.
When he saw this small
family of the Prophet he
turned towards his fellow
Christians and told them…..
, "do not indulge in Mubahela with this family, for I am observing such pious faces that if they would order the mountain to come to them the mountain shall move towards them. It is therefore necessary to make treaty with them rather than confrontation of this spiritual imminence."
They asked Muhammad for
peace and it was accepted.
Muhammad extended the hand
of friendship towards them, a
treaty was signed and both
parties left on friendly terms.
Therefore we can conclude from verse 3:61, that
Our sons refers TO HASSAN(as)
HUSSEIN(as)
Our Women
refers to
FATIMA
ZEHRA (as)
Ourselves refers
to the Holy
prophet (as) and
ALI (as)
These are the holy personalities that are referred in all the three verses mentioned
42:23
33:33
3:61
This is the family whose members were purified so that they can be blessed with the knowledge to carry on the teachings of ISLAM after the Blessed Messenger.
ALLAH (swt) knew a time
would come when there
would be a split within
the Muslim community as
to who to obey.
False hadeeth and
corrupted testimonies
would be created to hide
the truth,
which would split the
Muslims
But the message of ALLAH (swt) clearly commands us through his holy words where the truth lies- with those who have been blessed and purified
BUT WHAT DID THE
MUSLIMS DO?
May ALLAH(swt) guide us
and keep us on the straight
path….
The path of whom he has
favored
And not the path of those
who have gone astray and
those who have earned his
anger
ON HIS DEATH BED PROPHET
MUHAMMAD (as) ASKED FOR A
PEN AND PAPER SO HE COULD
WRITE DOWN THE WAY THAT
WOULD PREVENT THE MUSLIMS
FROM GOING ASTRAY…………….
HE WAS DENIED THIS BY A
COMPANION
