Abstract:
Given the spiritual and historical status of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), the question arises as to why they are not explicitly mentioned in the Quran. Although some claim that by removing the name of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) from the text of the Quran, a distortion has occurred in this holy book; however, the author of the article attempts to prove that this viewpoint has no logical justification and ultimately tends toward the conclusion that since the Quran is a book of guidance and focuses more on general principles, there was no necessity to mention the names of the Ahl al-Bayt, especially since many verses were revealed regarding their status in the Quran.
Machine summary:
Although some claim that the removal of Imam Ali's (peace be upon him) name from the text of the Quran has caused distortion in this holy book; however, the author of this article attempts to prove that this viewpoint has no logical justification and ultimately tends towards the conclusion that since the Quran is a book of guidance and focuses more on general principles, there was no necessity to mention the names of the Ahl al-Bayt, especially since many verses were revealed regarding their status in the Quran.
First Viewpoint: Reasons for Explicitly Mentioning the Names of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in the Quran Some believe that based on the narrations that have reached us from the Pure Imams, the name of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was explicitly mentioned in the Quran, and with the distortion of the Quran, his name and part of the verses regarding the caliphate of the Pure Imams have been removed.
4- The Hadith of Ghadir is among the reasons that explicitly indicate that the name of the Commander of the Faithful is not mentioned in the Quran; because based on this hadith, Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) was appointed to the succession by the Noble Prophet after the emphasis of the Quran and God's promise to protect the Prophet's life from potential dangers.
