Allah ﷻ has instructed in Quran Shareef:
قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ
“O My Beloved ﷺ, say to your Ummah: I ask of you no reward for it except love for honourable Ahlu-Bayt (عليهم السلام).
In the well-known Hadith, Noore Mujassam habeebullah huzur pak ﷺ said:
إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ: كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي
"Verily, I am leaving behind among you two weighty things: the Book of Allah and my Ahlu bayt (عليهم السلام)"
The Ahlu-Bayt (عليهم السلام) hold a special position in preserving and teaching the guidance of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Therefore, recognising their status, loving and respecting them, and learning from their teachings are matters of great importance.
Hadhrat Imam Abu Hanifa رحمه الله took bay‘ah with Hadhrat Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq عليه السلام during the last two years of his life. He is reported to have said:
لَوْلَا السَّنَتَانِ لَهَلَكَ النُّعْمَانُ
“Had it not been for those two years, Nu‘man would have perished.”
This statement is understood to refer to the two years during which Imam Abu Hanifa رحمه الله benefited from the knowledge and spiritual guidance of Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq عليه السلام.
Hadhrat Imam Ja‘far Sadiq عليه السلام emphasise the importance of the Ahlu Bayt Shareef عليهم السلام
نـَحْنُ اَهْلُ بَيْتٍ وَنَـحْنُ اَلْوَسِيْلَةُ اِلَى اللهِ لَا وَسِيْلَة اِلَى اللهِ اِلَّا عَنْ غَيْرِ طَرِيْقِنَا اَوْ مِنْ سِوَانَا
“We are the Ahlu Bayt Shareef عليهم السلام, and we are the means of attaining nearness to Allah. There is no means of drawing nearer to Allah except through our way, and not through any way other than ours.”
Therefore, it is important for us to recognise the honour and status of the Ahu Bayt Shareef عليهم السلام, love and respect them, and follow the Qur’an Shareef and Sunnah Shareef in accordance with their authentic teachings.
Recognise the Imam of this era, who is mentioned in the Hadith as As-Saffah عليه السلام and who is present in Rajarbag, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
You are sincerely invited to come, learn, and investigate for yourself in order to seek the truth and attain true guidance.
Every Muslim should turn towards the Imam of this era in order to seek divine attention and guidance and to strengthen their connection with Allah ﷻ.
Many people who appear pious and deliver intellectually impressive speeches. However, appearances and eloquent words can sometimes be deceptive, and you may not recognize the deception unless you are blessed with true knowledge from a true Shaykh alaihis salam .
That is why seeking authentic knowledge and guidance from a truly knowledgeable and righteous Shaykh alaihis salam is so important.
