The Verse of Purification A study of its Intellectual and Legislative Aspects

The Verse of Purification is one of the most significant Qur’anic passages regarding the spiritual status and moral excellence of the Prophet’s family. The Verse of Purification A study of its Intellectual and Legislative Aspects provides a clear, analytical, and deeply informed study of this verse, exploring its intellectual implications, theological importance, and its role in Islamic law, ethics, and communal identity.

About the Book The Verse of Purification A study of its Intellectual and Legislative Aspects offers an in-depth exploration of Qur’an 33:33—traditionally known as Āyat al-Tathīr (the Verse of Purification: the verse affirming the spiritual purity of the Prophet’s household). Drawing from classical tafsīr (Qur’anic exegesis: scholarly interpretation of scripture), riwāyah (narrative transmission: reports documenting sayings, events, and interpretations), and theological scholarship, the book examines the linguistic, doctrinal, and legal dimensions of the verse. It highlights how the verse affirms the moral impeccability and elevated status of the Ahl al-Bayt while also analyzing its implications for leadership, religious authority, and ethical guidance in Islamic tradition.

Rather than limiting the discussion to historical context, the book presents a holistic and multi-layered interpretation that integrates intellectual reasoning with spiritual reflection.
