"Ahle Bait"

Q 1: Which personages are included in "Ahl-e-Bait"?
A. Posterity of the Holy Prophet and his near relatives for whom
"Sadaqa"(propitiatory gift, alms) is unlawful, his pious wives
(revered mothers of believers), Hadrat Faatemah, Hadrat'Alee, Hadrat
Imaam Hasan and Hadrat ImaamHusain (may Allah be pleased with them
all) are included in Ahle Bait.
Q 2: What is the status of the Holy Prophet's wives?
A. It is proved by the Holy Qur-aan that the pious wives of the Holy
Prophet are superior to all women. No woman is like them in any way.
Their virtues and good deeds earned them more reward than other women
(i.e. twenty fold for them and ten fold forothers) owing to their
submission to and worship of Allah and their services and obedience to
the Holy Prophet.
Q 3: Which personages are called "Panj-tan-Pak"?
A. "Panj-tan-Pak (five revered personages) means the Holy Prophet
Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa(may Allah's choicest blessings & peace be upon
him), Hadrat Faatemah, Hadrat'Alee, Hadrat Imaam Hasan and Hadrat
ImaamHusain (may Allah be pleased with them all).
Q 4: What are the excellences of Ahle Bait?
A. The Qur-aanic verses and sayings of the Holy Prophet concerning
Ahl-e-Bait indicate that their excellences are numerous. Some of
themare:
1. Allah Almighty has cleansed them of impurity and purified them
well. They have been protected from such things which are
unbecoming of their status.
2. Hell-fire is Haraam (forbidden) for them.
3. Sadaqa (propitiatory gift, alms) is unlawful forthem because it is
dross of the property/ wealth.
4. The first group of believers for whom the Holy Prophet will
intercede on the Day of Judgement is of Ahle Bait.
5. To love them is one of the obligatory duties of Islaam and to
harbour ill-will or malice against them is hypocrisy.
6. The case of "Ahle Bait"is like Noah's Ark that the one who boarded
it was safe and annihilatedwas he who avoided it.
7. Believers have been emphasised upon to hold fast to the rope of Ahle Bait.
A tradition to this effect says: I am leaving amongyou two things i.e.
the Holy Qur-aan and my "Aal" (progeny), you willnever go astray
unless you abandon them. Another saying stresses the believers to
equip their off-spring with three qualities i.e. love of the Holy
Prophet, loveof Ahle Bait and regular recitation of the Holy Qur-aan.
Q 5: What are the excellences of Hadrat Faatemah (may Allah be pleased
with her)?
A. The Holy Prophet is reported to have said: (1). I have named my
daughter "Faatemah" because Allah Almighty has protected her and those
believers who loveher, against hell-fire. (2).Hadrat Faatemah is
chaste and hell is "Haraam" (forbidden) for her and for her posterity.
(3).She is from me. I like what she likes and dislike what she
dislikes. (4).Addressing Hadrat Faatemah, the Holy Prophet once said:
O' Faatemah! Allah's anger lies in your anger and His pleasure lies in
your pleasure. (5). On another occasion, he said: O' Faatemah! Are you
not pleased with thegrace that Allah has made you the leader of all
female believers in paradise. (6). The Holy Prophet said (Hadrat)
Faatemah is dearest to me of all my family members.
Q 6: What are the excellences of Hadrat Imaam Hasan and ImaamHusain
(may Allah be pleased with them)?
A. The Holy Prophet said: (1) [Hadrat]Hasan and Husain are my two
flowers in the world. (2).He who loves them actually loves me and he
who harbours malice against them actually harbours malice against me.
(3). [Hadrat]Hasan and Husain are the leader of all youths in
paradise. (4) He who loves me and loves Hasan and Husain and their
parents [Hadrat 'AHand Hadrat Faatemah] will be in paradise with me.
In short, the Ahle Bait are Muqtadaa (leader) of
Ahle-Sunnat-wa-Jama'at (true followers of Sunnah). He who does not
love them is, indeed, accursed one. Hadrat Imaam Hasan andImaam Husain
are the "martyrs of high rank". Denial of their martyrdom is
misguidance and disbelief.
Q 7: Will the love of Ahle Bait be of any avail to believers without
the love of Prophet's companions?
A. It is obligatory upon every believer to love and respect
"Aal-o-Ashaab" (progeny and companions) of the Holy Prophet. One is
not true believer unless he loves Aal-e-Rasool. Similarly one's belief
is also defective until he loves the Prophet's companions. If
Aal-e-Rasool is a boat for the Muslim Ummah, the companions are stars.
Sothe help of boat and stars is must to achieve the goal of Islaamic
faith. A tradition runs in this respect which says: "the love of
Hadrat 'Aleeand malice against Hadrat Abu Bakr Siddique and Hadrat
'Umar-e-Farooq can not stay together in the heart of a believer". It
means that it is against Islaamic faith to love onecompanion and to
hate the other.
Q 8: Who was Yazeed?
A. Yazeed belonged to Bani Umaie-yah family whose hands are
stainedwith the blood of HadratImaam Husain and his family members.
His crime will keep him earning hatred and scorn of the Muslim Ummah
till the end of time.
Yazeed was born to Hadrat Amir Mu'aawi-yah (may Allah be pleased with
him). He was awkwardly fatty, ill-tempered, drunkard, dissolute and
tyrant. He re-enforced usury and desecrated the Holy Ka'bah and Holy
Madinah.
Despite all these ill and blasphemous activities at his part,
believers should not call him "Kaafir" (infidel,disbeliever), as
Imaam-e-Azam Abu Hanifa's (may Allah be pleased with him) creed is
"Sukoot" (silence) to this effect which means that we can call him
"Faasiq-o-Faajir" (transgressor and sinful) but should neither call
him "Kaafir" nor Muslim.
Now-a-days some misguided people say that Hadrat Imaam Husain and
Yazeed were both princes and we got no right to speak about their
dispute, such people are Kharijites (those who dissented from Hadrat
Ali) and render themselves liable to be cast into hell-fire.
Q 9: Who are twelve Imaams of Ahle Bait?
A. Twelve Imaams (religious leaders) of Ahle Bait are: (1)Hadrat 'Alee
(2) Hadrat Imaam Hasan (3) Hadrat Imaam Husain (4) Hadrat
ImaamZain-ul-Abideen (5) Hd:Imaam Baqar (6) Hd:Imaam Jaffar Sadiq (7)
Hd:Imaam Musa Kazim (8) Hd:Imaam 'AleeMusa Raza (9) Hd:Imaam Muhammad
Taqi (10) Hd:Imaam Naqi (11) Hd:Imaam Hasan Askari and (12) Hd: Imaam
Mehdi who will come towards the end of the world.
