IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE BENEFICIENT, THE MERCIFUL.
"Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, 0 people of the House! and to purify you a through purifying." (Sura Ahzab 33:33)
The Lord
of the worlds honoured the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) and his Ahlul Bayt
(A.S.) with the robe of infallibility and purity; and thus never did they
waver
from the right path. We could only achieve salvation and perfection if
we follow the example set by them. They are such exemplary personalities
that they have
no peer on the road of guidance.
However in order to achieve this aim we must refer to'the authoritative books of the scholars of Islam. So that we can easily understand the lofty position of this exalted Tamily', and their uncomparable knowledge and deeds.
The aim of
this booklet is to educate the muslim masses about Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) and
specially for the youth who can profit greatly by this endeavour. Each
chapter of this booklet begins with a brief historical introduction followed
by the virtues and
excellences of the exalted 'family'.
It must be
mentioned that the virtues of Ahlul Bayt Alaihimus
salaam are such that no amount of words could suffice. However
If you cannot draw all the water of the
sea. At least obtain enough of it to quench your thirst. (Persian Couplet).
A cue is sufficient for those who understand. We have attempted to glean from the corpus of ahadith only those traditions which are considered authentic and reliable. So as to enable the reader to derive maximum benefits.
It is hoped that the radiance of these divine personalities will light up our life, and that we may be included among their helpers.
May Allah hasten the reappearance of the last of them, Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.)
