All Muslims are commanded by ALLAH swt to love and obey the family of the prophet Muhammad (saw).

1.  InThe Glorious Qur'an-
the revealed word of
Almighty Allah, to His
last and greatest
Prophet, Muhammad
(s.a.w.)-there is a verse
Which speaks of the
Prophet’s family

3. ALLAH(swt) commands his

prophet to ask the people to
love his family in return for all
the hard work and suffering
that he endured during his
prophetic mission.
BUT……………..

 Who are the members of
the Prophet’s family that
this verse speaks of?

4. Also there is another verse
which refers to the same
blessed family of the holy
Messenger -33:33

5.  ………Allah only desires to
keep away the uncleanness
from you, O people of the
House! And to purify you a
(thorough) purifying.quot;
Holy Qur'an (33:33)

6.  Why did ALLAH (swt) in
his infinite wisdom, want
to purify this family in
addition to asking the
believers to Love and
obey them?

7. Yet another verse talks of
this family in the holy
Quran…………
VERSE 3:61

8. But whoever disputes with you in

this matter after what has come to
you of knowledge, then say: Come
let us call our sons and your sons and
our women and your women and
our selves and your selves, then let
us be earnest in prayer, and pray for
the curse of Allah on the liars.
Holy Quran 3:61


9. Verse 3:61 is called the ayat of

Mubahela and it was revealed on
the eve of a debate with the
Christian scholars of Najran after
prophet Muhammad and the
Christians were unable to arrive
on any mutual understanding.

10. The next morning, in obeying this
commandment, MUHAMMAD
emerged from his house with his
closest family. He came and
stood with this family in front of
the Christian bishops who also
came forward to perform the
Mubahela.

11. held the hand of
He
HASSAN walking
beside him, held
HUSSAIN in his arms,

12. by
followed
his daughter
FATIMA

13. finally by
and
his son-in-law
and cousin
ALI.


14. Prophet came and
The
stood with this family
in front of the
Christian bishops who
also came forward to
perform the Mubahela.

15.  Thechief of the Christians
was bishop Abul Harris.
When he saw this small
family of the Prophet he
turned towards his fellow
Christians and told them…..

16. , quot;do not indulge in Mubahela with

this family, for I am observing
such pious faces that if they
would order the mountain to come
to them the mountain shall move
towards them. It is therefore
necessary to make treaty with
them rather than confrontation of
this spiritual imminence.quot;

17. They asked Muhammad for

peace and it was accepted.
Muhammad extended the hand
of friendship towards them, a
treaty was signed and both
parties left on friendly terms.

18. Therefore we can
conclude from
verse 3:61, that

19. sons refers
Our
TO
HASSAN(as)
HUSSEIN(as)

20. Women
Our
refers to
FATIMA
ZEHRA (as)

21. refers
Ourselves
to the Holy
prophet (as) and
ALI (as)

22. These are the holy

personalities that are referred
in all the three verses
mentioned
 42:23
 33:33
 3:61

23.  This is the family whose
members were purified
so that they can be
blessed with the
knowledge to carry on
the teachings of ISLAM
after the Blessed
Messenger.

24.  ALLAH (swt) knew a time
would come when there
would be a split within
the Muslim community as
to who to obey.

25.  False hadeeth and
corrupted testimonies
would be created to hide
the truth,
 which would split the
Muslims

26.  Butthe message of
ALLAH (swt) clearly
commands us through
his holy words where the
truth lies- with those who
have been blessed and
purified

27. WHAT DID THE
BUT
MUSLIMS DO?

28.  May ALLAH(swt) guide us
and keep us on the straight
path….
 The path of whom he has
favored
 And not the path of those
who have gone astray and
those who have earned his
anger

29. ON HIS DEATH BED PROPHET

MUHAMMAD (as) ASKED FOR A
PEN AND PAPER SO HE COULD
WRITE DOWN THE WAY THAT
WOULD PREVENT THE MUSLIMS
FROM GOING ASTRAY…………….
HE WAS DENIED THIS BY A
COMPANION
