"...Allah desires only to keep
away uncleanness from you O people of the House
(Ahlul-Bait)
and make you as pure as can be."
Holy Qur'an (33:33)
Whoever studies the lives of the Ahlul-Bait
(peace be upon them all) will at Once recognize the
pivotal role they played and the great task they
shouldered in shaping the destiny of Islam. Their
glorious lives have always been a source of inspiration
to the Muslims in every era and place, interacting with
their conciousness, enriching their progress and
upholding their Islamic heritage.
The Ahlul-Bait - (the Prophet's holy
family) have formed a historical movement and impulsive
force in the history of Islam and caused great social
changes.
This is worth mentioning to understand the
right path of the Imams of Ahlul-Bait
(a.s.) and to comprehend the features of their school
which contains the spirit of originality and motives.
The Holy Qur'an singles out this term 'Ahlul-Bait'
whereas the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) specifies its
confirmation. On one side, this entity is diagnosed after
the disappearance of the period of prophethood which was
led to grow ideological and political allegiance for the
family members of the Holy Prophet and on the other side,
some confrontations and conflicts from different fronts
and coalitions, in the arena of political life of the
Muslim society, started to appear against them.
Consequently, ideological, political and bloody war was
waged against them. Therefore, the Imams: Ali,
Hasan and Husein and their grandsons became victims by
such tragedies in which the Muslim nation lost the
enlightened pioneers of its straight path and were
forbidden from the gifts of truth and awareness.
Al-Balagh Foundation; a part of
its mission, hopes, to present to its dear readers the
holy family of the Prophet, to remove fiction from
luminous facts in the history of our Muslim nation, to
acquaint the ummah with their straight path and to make
them choose the true guidance with its many features and
principles.
We beseech Allah, the Most High, to aid and
grant us success to accomplish this blessed duty. He is
the best of helpers.
