Ahl al-Bayt (a): Difference between revisions

In the al-Tathir verse ([[Quran 33]]:33), the glorious [[Qur'an]] introduces the Ahl al-Bayt (a) as those whom [[God]] has desired to repel all impurity from and also has mentioned that sublime facts and teachings hidden in the Qur'an cannot be found except by those purified from all impurity. Just the same way that the physical purity is required for touching the text of the Qur'an, purity of the soul from vices is required for understanding the teachings of the Qur'an and the more delicate and deeper the teachings of the Qur'an are, the higher purity of souls are needed to understand them and the greatest of them require [[infallibility]].<ref>Tabataba'i, ''al-Mizan'', vol.19 p.137</ref> Therefore, teachings of the Qur'an are not fully and deeply known by anyone other than the Prophet (s) and the infallible ones (a) and thus to learn them, one needs to refer to them.
