Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, the founder and patron-in-chief of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, while addressing an intellectual session via video link at the Central Secretariat, Model Town, stated that on the Day of Judgment, all lineages will be cut off except for the noble lineage of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His relationship and ancestry will remain intact until the Last Day. He emphasized that genuine love for the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet’s holy family) will serve as a means of salvation on the Day of Judgment.
He said that every believer yearns for the love of Allah, and some long for the compassion and special attention of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) revealed the secret to attaining both these loves: “If you desire the love of Allah, then love His Messenger (PBUH); and if you seek the love of the Messenger, then love Hasan and Husayn (A.S.).”
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri narrated a hadith reported by Abu Hurairah (RA), who said: "One day, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) came to us with Imam Hassan (A.S.) on one shoulder and Imam Husayn (A.S.) on the other. He kissed them alternately until he came close to us. A man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, do you love them?' The Holy Prophet (PBUH) replied, 'Yes, and not just that—whoever loves them loves me, and whoever harbors enmity toward them harbors enmity toward me.'”
This hadith clearly shows that love for Hassan and Husayn (A.S.) is equivalent to love for the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and loving the Prophet (PBUH) means loving Allah.
He further quoted another hadith in which the Holy Prophet (PBUH) held the hands of Imam Hassan and Imam Husayn (A.S.) and said: “Whoever loves me, loves these two, their father (Ali A.S.), and their mother (Sayyida Fatima A.S.), will be with me in the highest ranks of companionship on the Day of Judgment.”
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri concluded by stating that anyone who harbors love for Hassan and Husayn (A.S.) will be among the people of Paradise, while anyone who bears hatred toward them will be among the people of Hell.
