Attachment with the Holy Quran and the
Prophet’s Family – A mark of guidance
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)
has declared relations with His family as a
means of deliverance and as a means of safety
from misguidance. Whoever attaches
themselves with them, will never be misguided.
Then please consider, will those pure souls fall
prey to chasing this material world?
Thus, on the occasion of the Farewell Hajj
(Hujjatul Wada’a), when the Holy Prophet
(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) gave the whole
world a message of peace, on the same
occasion, He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) also
gave the order for attaching oneself with the
Holy Quran and the Prophet’s Family. Following
them is a means of eternal blessings and is a
strong guard against wrong beliefs and the wrong path. There is a Hadith in Sunan Baihaqi
and in Jame’ Tirmidhi:
It has been reported on the authority of Hadhrat
Jabir (May Allah be well pleased with him): I
saw the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) on ‘Arafat. He (Sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam) was on His she-camel, Qaswa and was
giving a sermon. I heard Him saying: O people,
I leave with you 2 great bounties. As long as
you hold on to them, you will never be
misguided. They are: the Book of Allah and my
family. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 3718)
When according to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam), His family saves people from
misguidance and whoever attaches oneself with
them cannot be on the wrong path, then is it
correct to blame them with the love of this
material world? Is it correct to label their
struggle as a political struggle? Even after Allah
declares their purity in the Holy Quran:
Allah only intends to remove all the impurity of
sins from you, O People of the House (of the
Prophet, [even a doubt or trace of shortcoming])
and make you absolutely pure and clean by
blessing you with (perfect) purity and
wholesomeness. Surah Ahzaab (33:33)
