The Holy Prophet Mohammad (S.
The Holy Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) had said that the first thing to be created by God before any creation was his LIGHT (NOOR). And that LIGHT then split to create AHLUL-BAIT, the household members of the Prophet. They are known as the Holy PANJETAN, the household members of the Prophet. They are the chosen and top most five dignitaries of Islam. They are: (S.A.W.) (also called Ahmad) Imam Ali (A.S.) (also called Haider) the soul of the Prophet and his son-in-law.
Bibi Fatima (A.S.) (also called Batool) the only beloved daughter of The Prophet. Imam Hasan (A.S.) (also known as Shabbar) the son of Ali and Fatima. Imam Husain (A.S.) (also known as Shabbir) the son of Ali and Fatima. Their greatness lies not only in being closely related to the Prophet, being part and parcel of the FIRST CREATED LIGHT of the Prophet, but also in their supreme sacrifices for the cause of Islam.
God Almighty had chosen them as the of supreme personalities of Islam and informed all the previous Prophets in advance of their eminently high position and their sacrifices in the cause of Islam. The previous Prophets always felt awed, by the names of PANJETAN. Whenever they became surrounded by any misfortune, they prayed for God's deliverance with the help of the holy names of these five dignitaries.
The silver plate inscribed with the holy names of PANJETAN - the holy five dignitaries of Islam as related above, might have originated from one of the past Prophets and used for invoking Allah's mercy and blessing. These five personalities are those whom Allah has exclusively kept away from all spiritual and physical impurity for ever.
They are those who have been infallible and sinless from birth to death Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Husain (A.S.) are those whom the Prophet of Islam had identified exclusively as members of his House and that they are with the Qur'an and the Qur'an with them. They and the Qur'an are the supreme authority in Islam after the Prophet. Whosoever adheres to both the Qur'an and the People of the House will be saved from going astray from the straight and true path of Islam.
