Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), Ideal Model of Divine Succession

Share the post :

Muslims generally agree on the pioneering interpretive role that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) played as the first interpreter of Quran, as well his central role in applying the concepts of Quran and explaining his overall perspective of the universe and life. This role requires extensive specialized studies to understand its scope and limits.

One of the most notable aspects of the interpretive role of Prophet (peace be upon him) is represented at two levels: The first is the general one, which he explained to the public according to their needs, the requirements of the situation, and the level of their understanding and reception. This led some to believe that the Prophet (peace be upon him) explained only a limited number of verses from Qur'an, as in the narration reported by al-Bazzar: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not explain anything of Qur'an, except a limited number of verses that Gabriel had taught him." This perspective contradicts what Allal, Almighty, said in Qur'an, which explains the Prophet's mission: {And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them, and that perhaps they will reflect} [Al-Nahl, verse: 44]. Qur'an makes it clear that the explanation of Prophet (peace be upon him) was comprehensive.
