The�literal�meaning�of�ayat�is�sign.�Every�verse�of�the�Quran�is
a�sign�(ayat)�because�it�draws�the�attention�of�the�reader�to�its
meaning.�
But�Allah's�signs,�in�the�perfect�sense,�are�those�beings�whose

To�emphasise�this�exclusiveness,�the�second�object�of�the�verb
yudh-hiba�(keep�off)-the�phrase�ankum�(from�you)-has�been
put�before�the�first�object�rijs�(uncleanness);�and�for�further
emphasis,�the�phrase�Ahl�ul�Bayt�has�been�mentioned�to
explain�the�pronoun�ankum�(from�you).�
The�grammatical�structure�of�the�whole�clause�indicates�that
this�a�unique�privilege�or�distinction�granted�to�the�Ahl�ul�Bayt
only,�excluding�all�others.�
(ii)�
The�verb�yuridu�implies�that�the�continuous�will�or�intention�of
Allah�is�His�creative�will�or�intention,�not�legislative.�
To�interpret�the�will�as�the�legislative�will�as�in�Ma-idah:�6,
distorts�the�whole�fabric�of�the�verse�and�renders�meaningless
the�exclusive�particle�and�the�constructional�arrangement.�
Even�then�it�means�that�only�the�Ahl�ul�Bayt�exclusively

righteousness�-�yet�too�many�are�still�tempted�to�play
God�themselves�-�rather�than�recognising�their
humility�before�the�Divine.
A�central�element�in�a�truly�religious�outlook,�it
seems�to�me,�is�a�recognition�that�we�all�have�a�great
deal�to�learn�from�one�another.
The�Holy�Quran�speaks�of�how�mankind�has�been
created�by�a�single�Creator�“from�a�single�soul…”�–
a�profound�affirmation�of�the�unity�of�humanity.
“THE�OTHER”
The�spirit�of�pluralism�is�not�a�pallid�religious
compromise.�
It�is�a�sacred�religious�imperative.�
In�this�light,�our�differences�can�become�sources�of
enrichment,�
so�that�we�see�“THE�OTHER”�as�an�opportunity
and�a�blessing�-�whether�“THE�OTHER��lives�across
the�street�-�or�across�the�world.
