Educational functions of Ahlul Bayt love

Love is one of the attributes of life and has levels that play a special role in human education. The present study, which has been written with the aim of recognizing and explaining the educational functions of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), is a qualitative research and has studied the subject by content analysis method and using library resources. The Holy Qur'an pays attention to the issue of love in several verses and in terms of the underlying role of love in the transcendence or decline of man, explicitly forbids some loves and emphasizes some loves. Among the positive loves of the Qur'an is the love of the relatives of the Holy Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him and his family, which can be the bedrock of human transcendence for worshiping the Almighty and achieving ultimate perfection. The result of this research is identifying some educational functions related to the love of Ahl al-Bayt. It was in the individual and social spheres, which are: development of self-awareness, deepening of understanding of Quranic teachings, cultivation and purification of the soul in two forms: active purification and possession purification, love writing and immunization of the lover from psychological, moral and spiritual dangers.
