This is alluded to in the saying of the Prophet -saww “Indeed Allah -azwj has no eyes and hands, but surely you and me, Ya Ali -asws , are from them”. They -asws (The Ahl e-Bayt) are the most elevated side (Al-Janb al-Aliyy); the most agreeable face (al-Wajh ar-Radiyy); the thirst-quenching spring; and the straight path. They -asws are the means to (reach) Allah -azwj , the link to His -azwj pardon and His -azwj pleasure.

They -asws are the mystery of the One, and the Uniqueness of the Unique (Allah -azwj ). It is not possible to compare anyone from mankind with them -asws ; They are: the elect of Allah -azwj and chosen purely by Him -azwj ; the secret of religion and its wisdom; the gateway to faith and its Kaabah; the proof of Allah -azwj and His destination; the signposts of guidance and its standard; the grace of Allah -azwj and His mercy; the absolute certainty and its reality; the path of the Real and His protection; the origin of existence and its goal; the power of the Lord and His will; the source (origin) of the book and its end; the eloquent speech; the symbols and guardians and protectors of the revelation; the verse of Remembrance and its interpretation; the origin of revelation and its final (destiny); they are the lofty stars; they are the elevated illuminations, kindled from the sun of Fatimah’s honour in the sky or Muhammed’s majesty; they are the branches of Prophet hood gushing forth from the tree of Ahmed; the divine mysteries placed in the form of a human (body).

The -asws are: The pure progeny from Hashemite descent; the (truly) guide and the (truly) guided; thus they alone are the best of creation; they are the pure leaders; the infallible family (protected from sin); the noble offspring; the rightly guided successors (of the Prophet -saww ); the greatest of the Siddiqeen (the truth ones); the noble Awsiyaa; the tribe whom Allah -azwj was pleased with; the rightly guided deliverers; the finest of the fine, from the family of Taha and Yaseen; The proof of Allah -azwj for the first and last.

Their names are etched on (every) stone, on (every) leaf of (every) tree, on the wings of every bird; on the gates of heavens and hell; on the throne (of Allah -azwj ); on the horizons; on the wings of angels; on the veils of majesty and on the canopies of glory and beauty. With their name the birds glorify (Allah -azwj ) and fish in the depths of ocean ask for forgiveness on behalf of their followers.
