The Two Holy Mosques

Many interesting verses in the Qur’an, the verse of purification (33:33) in Surat Al Ahzaab has aroused a great deal of attention at the time of the Holy Prophet (SA) among his companions, and is still a topic of contention today. Many ideas and theories have been shared regarding the interpretation of this verse by the different schools of thought.

History records that the verse of purification was revealed in the event of the Narration of the Cloak (Hadeeth Al Kisaa) where it was revealed in honor of the Holy Prophet (SA), Ali, Fatima, Hasan, and Husain (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them). This particular verse is one of the scriptural proofs for the inerrancy of the Household of the Prophet which points to their utter purity and unique character.

Verse of Purification in the Light of Quran & Hadith

Some of the controversial issues have divided the Muslims. Those issues have been misused by the enemies of Islam to divide the Muslims and to weaken them. Therefore, in order to unite the Muslims and to defend the boundaries of Islam, it is necessary to clear the misunderstandings regarding these differences. In sorting out these issues we have been ordered to confine ourselves within some limits. As the Almighty Allah says: "And obey Allah and His Apostle, and do not quarrel, since you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart …." (Qur’an 8: 46) It is necessity for us today, and for all times, to refer to Quran and Hadith in case of any difference of opinions. As the Almighty Allah has said "If you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle…" (Qur’an 4: 59). In these series we shall refer to the Quran and Hadith to guide us on the correct path in various controversial topics.

Weeping for Dead

Imam Ḥasan al-ʿAskarī (ʿa) — the eleventh Imam of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa) — lived under intense surveillance and political pressure during the late ʿAbbāsid period. Residing in the garrison city of Sāmarrāʾ, he guided the ummah (Muslim community) through carefully managed correspondence, trusted representatives, and concise spiritual instruction. His life stands as a testament to ṣabr (patient endurance) and wisdom, showing how faith can flourish even amid repression.
About the Book
Imam Hasan Al Askery (pbuh) offers a grounded portrait of the Imam’s life, mission, and the spiritual preparation of the community for the ghaybah (occultation) of his son, Imam al-Mahdī (may God hasten his reappearance). Drawing upon authoritative Shīʿī sources such as al-Kāfī and Bihār al-Anwār, as well as works attributed to the Imam such as Tafsīr al-ʿAskarī, the book explores his scholarly depth, discreet leadership, and efforts to safeguard the continuity of Imamate (divinely appointed leadership). It further examines the Imam’s letters, ethical teachings, and guidance to his followers during a time of severe political constraint.
