A unique interpretation of the Quran is necessary to make a united Ummah.
A unique interpretation of the Quran is necessary to make a united Ummah. Not every transmitter of a hadith is a credible one. Using fabricated hadiths to interprete the Quran will lead to false interpretations. To avoid any deception, the prophet has ordered us to follow both, the Quran and ahlul bayt. The people the most fit to transmit the Sunnah of the prophet are His progeny because of their exceptional virtues.
They have been purified by Allah a perfect purification, which means they don't make mistakes, they don't alter the narrations, they don't lie. Moreover, they have inherited the knowledge of the prophet. Is not the prophet the city of knowledge and Ali its gate? Others however, may transmit narrations with unintentional alterations or errors because they can make mistakes and they forget.
It is just logical to take narrations that are transmitted from reliable sources that are endowed with special virtues and have a special place with regards to Allah. Bottom line is that hadith al-thaqalayn proves that it is compulsory for us to follow ahlul bayt alongside with the Quran in order not to go astray. The Banu Umayyah and Banu Abbas have spent centuries fighting and demeaning ahlul bayt, in order to deprive the masses of muslims from their guidance.
By isolating ahlul bayt from the society, the oppressors were capable of exercising their tyranny over the muslims. They were able to fabricate hadiths and twist the meanings of the Quran to fit their doctrine. That is exactly why the Islamic world is submerged with tragedies and disasters. That is exactly why we have several sects that have considerable differences. Today's islamic leadership is an exact copy of the Banu Umayyah and Banu Abbas leadership.
A leadership that fully contradicts the teachings of the Quran. Content: Hadith al-Thaqalayn Hadiths conflicting hadith al-Thaqalayn Is it the Quran and my progeny or the Quran and my Sunnah?
