Virtues Of The Ahl al-Bayt: A Means Unto The Revival Of The Dead Soul

All praise is to Allah, the Lord of Creation. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Owner of the Day of Recompense. Who blessed us, being the Ummah of His Beloved Rasool Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam. Who sanctified our hearts with the Love and Affection towards His Beloved Rasool Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam. Who blessed us with the most precious treasure of Iman (Faith). Countless Salutations, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon the Cream of the Creation; Mercy for all Worlds; Seal of the Prophets Sayyiduna wa Mawlana MuHammadur Rasoolullah Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam, His Blessed Parents, His entire Family, His Progeny, His Companions and all those who Follow Him!!

Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur’an: “Say (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), do not ask any fee from you upon this, except the love between close ones” [Surah al-Shoora, Verse 23]

Sa’eed bin Mansur, in his Sunan, narrates from Sa’eed bin Jubayr Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu, He said: “In this verse, close ones refers to the relatives of the Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Baaraka wa Sallam. [Jami’ al-Bayan, Vol. 11, Page 144 | Zakhair al-‘Uqba, Page 33, Durr al-Manthur, Vol. 5, Page 701 | Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Page 288]

This reveals that love for the Muslim relatives of the beloved Prophet through either blood or marriage is obligatory (Fard) upon every Muslim, neglect of which will prompt questioning by Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala.

The following are a few out of many sacred and blessed Ahadith containing the virtues of the Ahl al-Bait al-Kiraam Alaihim ar-Ridwan, and thereby reveal the rank of the beloved Prophet’s Ahl al-Bait and relatives.

Ascribing Associates To Allah, the Most High (Shirk)

The worst major sin is Shirk. It is of two kinds:
a) To hold that Allah has an equal, whereas He has created you, and to worship another with Him, whether it be a stone, tree, sun, moon, prophet, sheikh, star, angel, or other. This is the greatest shirk mentioned by Allah, the Most High, the Almighty, says, {Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this; one who joins other gods with Allah hath strayed far, far away (from the right).} (An-Nisa: 16)

{False worship is indeed the highest wrongdoing.} (Luqman:13)

{Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode.} (Al-Ma’idah:72)

The Qur’anic verses concerning this are very numerous. Certainly, whoever ascribes associates to Allah and

Major Sins

Major sins are defined as those forbidden by Allah and His Messenger in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, as well as what is narrated on the authority of early Muslims. Allah, the Most High, promises whoever avoids the major sins to expiate his minor sins. Allah, the Almighty, says, {If you avoid the major sins forbidden to you, We will absolve you of your lesser misdeeds and admit you into a place of honour.} (An-Nisaa: 31)

In this text, Allah, the Most High, also promises whoever avoids the major sins to admit him to Paradise. Allah, the Almighty, says, {Those who avoid the greater sins and indecencies, and when they are angry, even they forgive;} (Ash-Shura:37)

The Qur’an also states, {Those who avoid great sins and indecent deeds, save lesser offences, verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness.} (An-Najm:32)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The five prescribed prayers, and from one Friday prayer to another

Syedinna Abu Bakr Siddique radiallahu taala anhu’s Love Towards The Ahle Bayt

The Sahabas are the stars in the sky. Their lives are examples to the travelers, a true example of the love, respect, and following of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam) and the utter submission to his command by both body, heart, and soul.

The Ahle bayt is like a boat we must enter. The spiritual legacy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam) continued through his progeny (Ahle bayt) to the Awliya Allah. All the Sufi chains descend from the progeny of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallalaahu Alaihi wasallam).

Only the people who take the boat and also follow the stars will succeed. The Brightest Star is Abu Bakr
