Activity
The Quranic House at Imam Hussein Holy Shrine has worked on caring
for the Holy Quran, in various aspects, making great efforts to strengthen
the connection between it and society in all its segments. As a result,
numerous projects emerged, but there were too many to list. Among these
projects was the study of the interpretations of the Prophet and his Household
(peace be upon them) of the Holy Quran. The Quranic House began this work
several years ago, resulting in numerous projects, the most significant being
the production of the Encyclopedia of the Quranic Teachings of the Ahlulbayt, reaching
sixty volumes. In its entirety and details, this effort has not been
highlighted or extensively studied, resulting in a pristine outcome that the
House completed in a unique format. It is time to channel these efforts into
scientific pathways so that this valuable knowledge enters academic
institutions and scientific centers, taking its rightful place according to
academically recognized methods and systematically agreed-upon methodologies.
From here, the Quranic House began establishing tools to meet knowledge needs
that align with contemporary insights, among them the initiation of the
peer-reviewed journal *Huda Al-Thaqalayn*, providing researchers with
scientific material to raise awareness and build a comprehensive knowledge
framework for launching the first unprecedented project in the Islamic world: a
peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the interpretations of the
Prophet and his Household (peace be upon them).
The
specialization arises from the inseparable bond between the Quran and the
Progeny, established by the Prophet (peace be upon him) to safeguard the nation
from misguidance. He showed the way to guidance, protected from deviation, with
a will we cannot dismiss as miraculous in its preservation and systematic care,
as the Islamic nation in its diversity agrees upon its transmission and
authenticity, and its content is widely and continuously narrated. This is the
recommendation of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) to adhere to the
Thaqalayn, for they are the protectors from deviation and will not separate
until they meet him in Heaven.
In light of the
above, it is clear that the Holy Quran and the Noble Prophet (peace be upon
him) alongside his Household (peace be upon them) are the two pathways
safeguarded from deviation, and no one can be closer to the Word of Allah than
them, as evidenced by the Prophet’s explicit text. From here, they are the
foundation for understanding the Quran and grasping its content and meanings.
They are the point
of convergence for all Muslims, as there is no disagreement regarding their
virtue, exalted status, knowledge, and the acquisition of religion from them,
as well as the love and loyalty toward them. This is evidenced by the inclusion
of their narrations, sayings, and biographies in the books of Muslims from
various sects, demonstrating a consensus on their veneration and honor.
Moreover, this
field of knowledge (the interpretation of the Prophet and his Household) has
not been spotlighted in a manner befitting its importance, nor has a
peer-reviewed scientific journal been dedicated to tracking and studying it.
