Introduction
The Holy Quran has ordained love and affection for Ahle’ Bayt (a.s.) as the reward for the efforts and difficulties undertaken by the Holy Prophet of Islam (s.a.w.) for delivering the message of Islam.
On innumerable occasions, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) emphasized that Muslims treat the Ahle’ Bayt (a.s.) with respect and courtesy. Not only did he (s.a.w.) hold them in high esteem and recommend their love to us, but he (s.a.w.) also prohibited us from causing them injury or harm in any manner.
The Holy Quran, through Ayate’ Tatheer gave witness to their complete and absolute purity. It is famous that every day after the revelation of this verse, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) stopped by the house of Janabe’ Zahra (s.a.) and, after conveying salaam, recited Ayate’ Tatheer.
