[Pooya/Ali Commentary 66:8] The oft-forgiving Lord invites man to turn to Him with sincere repentance so that He may bestow His grace on him and forgive his sins. Sincere repentance implies giving up and discontinuing of evil in thought and action with a firm determination not to repeat it ever again. If it is done then Allah will wipe off his past sins and admit him to the eternal land of bliss and happiness. The Holy Prophet said: "A sincere repentant never sins again as the milk drawn from the breast never can go back to its source." Imam Ali said: "A sincere repentant (i) is ashamed of his past sins, (ii) takes up the duties overlooked and fulfils them, (iii) makes good the wilfully ignored conditions of a trust managed by him, (iv) forgives those who provoke him, (v) does not demand repayment of loans from those who are in financial distress, (vi) makes firm determination not to sin ever again, (vii) surrenders his self to the adoration, devotion and service of Allah when it had swelled to the point of exploding due to inordinate consumption of worldly pleasures, transgression and disobedience." For "those who believe with him" refer to the commentary of Fat-h: 29. In the light of Ahzab: 33, the Ahl ul Bayt alone are like the Holy Prophet in purity, wisdom and character because of which he took them with him in mubahilah (Ali Imran: 61), and because of which their love has been made obligatory on all Muslims in verse 23 of Shura, and they have been included in salawat or durud in verse 56 of Ahazab. Refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 2 to 5 (page 51) for what the Holy Prophet said about Fatimah Zahra. The Holy Prophet said: "Ali and I are from one and the same light." "The children of Fatimah and Ali are my children." "Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn." Not only Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn but all the Imams of the Ahl ul Bayt are referred to as "ibn rasulallah" (son of the messenger of Allah) by all the Muslim historians and scholars, no matter which school of thought they belong to. Refer to Sahih Bukhari, Kitab al Maghazi, vol. 3, page 41 for the saying of the Holy Prophet: "O Ali, you are from me and I am from you." Also refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 124. As stated in Sad: 75 the Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt belong to the class of alin (the most exalted). The righteous companions of the Holy Prophet or those believers who lived after him and shall come in this world till the day of resurrection are classified into different categories according to the degree of their submission to the will of Allah. There were people whose behaviour has been described in the commentary of several verses pertaining to battles of Uhad, Khandaq and Hunayn, and at the time of the treaty of Hudaybiya and at the time of the departure of the Holy Prophet (hadith al qirtas), can at most reach the level of pardoned sinners. For "their light will run before them" refer to the commentary of Hadid: 12; Nur: 33 to 37.
