Part 16

Tags: ahl al-bayt, Panj tan-i Pak

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

Verse (33:33) is revealed about the eminence of the holy ahl al-bayt.

Q. What wisdom was hidden in covering the five holy persons with the same mantle?

A. The holy Prophet by this act alluded to the ta'wil that [spiritually] they were the members of his house and their light is one in the Sacred Sanctuary. That is, their luminous house is the Sacred Sanctuary and with respect to this luminous house, they are called Panj-tan-i Pak or the five holy persons.
