صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Love for Hasanayn Karimayn is Wajib

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا has stated: When this (part 25, Surah Ash-Shura) blessed Ayah revealed:

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَسْــٴَـلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِی الْقُرْبٰىؕ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Say you (O Beloved), ‘I do not ask any recompense from you for this (propagation of religion), except (your) love for (my) close relatives (i.e. children, wives, etc.). (Part 25, Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 23)

So the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم humbly asked: ‘Ya Rasoolallah
(صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! Who are the relatives of yours to whom it is Wajib for us to love?’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, (Sayyiduna) ‘Ali-ul-Murtada, (Sayyidatuna) Fatima-tuz-Zahra and their both sons (i.e., Sayyiduna Imam Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam Husayn) رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, Hadees 2641)

Dear Islamic brothers! It has become obvious! Love for Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم is Wajib and essential. In the sight of every Muslim, Ahl-e-Bayt-e-Kiraam       رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم should be dearer than their lives and wealth, honour, parents and children. Having love for these blessed personalities is, in fact, having love for the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the love for the Beloved Rasool  صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the sign of perfect Iman.

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘لَا يُؤمِنُ عَبۡدٌ حَتّٰي اَكُوۡنَ اَحَبَّ اِلَيۡهِ مِنۡ نَفۡسِہٖ’ i.e., No bondman can become a perfect believer until he loves me more than
