Ahlulbayt(as) in the Quran
Page url on Duas.org https://www.duas.org/ahlulbayt.html | PDF this pg
1)Allah (swt)'s will for Ahlulbayt(as) to be completely Pure from any kind of impurity: Quran Sura Ahzab no.33:33 | Sunni refrences
إنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا
"Verily,Allah has decreed to purify you, O ' Ahlul Bayt, and sanctify you in a perfect way”


2.Love (Mawaddat) of the Prophets Family ( Qurba) is the mandatory recompense ( Ajr)for his efforts/services for all times for everybody.Quran 42:23 ;There is no ambiguity in this.
قُل لا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
Declare [O' Muhammad]: “I ask you of no recompense for my toil except the love for my kin (family).”

Further Quran 25:56 clearly explains that this reward is for those want to take a way to his Lord and that it is the ONLY ( notice arabic grammar I'lla) way to our lord.
قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَاءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا ﴿٥٧﴾
Say, ‘I do not ask you any reward for it, except that anyone who wishes should take the way to his Lord.’

It can be noted both sentences begin with "I do not ask you any reward" The clear conclusion from putting both these verses together is that; the Love of Ahlulbayt(as)( Ajr sought) IS for all Muslims for all time and because its for our benefit and puts us on the ONLY way to our lord.

3) "Wali" (overlord ) along with Allah (swt) and the Prophet(saw),is the one who gives zakat whilst bowing in Rukoo.- Q 5:55 referring to Imam Ali(as) who gave his ring in charity whilst in rukoo.
إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُمْ رَٰكِعُونَ
Your guardian is only Allah, His Apostle, and the faithful who maintain the prayer and give the zakat while bowing down.


4) 'Ul ul-'amr " (those vested with Authority) whose obedience along with Allah (swt) and HIS Prophet(saws) is compulsory- Q 4:59
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ ۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا
O you who have faith! Obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those vested with authority among you. And if you dispute concerning anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle, if you have faith in Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more favourable in outcome.


5) "Abna, Nisa and Anfos" (sons, women, self) who accompanied Prophet(saw) in the Mubahila victory.The Prophet saws took ONLY ;Ali (as) Fatima(sa) Hassan (as) and Hussiain(as) despite the nouns being plural - Q 3:61
فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ نَدْعُ أَبْنَآءَنَا وَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
Should anyone argue with you concerning him, after the knowledge that has come to you, say, ‘Come! Let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, our souls and your souls, then let us pray earnestly, and call down Allah’s curse upon the liars.’


6) "Ahlul Dhikr" (Folks of the Quran)- to whom we are commanded to ask what we do not know. - Q 16:43.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed. Ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know.


7) "Rasikhoon fil I'lm" (erudite in knowledge of the Divine) who know the inner meaning of Quran-Q 3: 7.
وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ
But no one knows its interpretation except Allah and those firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, ‘We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord.’ And none takes admonition except those who possess intellect.


8)Holy Quran 76:8 - 9 in the Praise of Ahlulbayt(as) charitable actImam Ali (as)Fatima (sa) Hassan (as) and Hussain (as) when they fasted for 3 days and yet gave away their food for 3 days to the needy the orphan and the prisoner who came to seek at the time of iftar.
وَيُطْعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا
For the love of Him, they feed the needy, the orphan and the prisoner,
إِنَّمَا نُطْعِمُكُمْ لِوَجْهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمْ جَزَآءً وَلَا شُكُورًا
[saying,] ‘We feed you only for the sake of Allah. We desire no reward from you, nor thanks.


9) Aal" (Family) who must be compulsorily saluted in tashahud for the obligatory prayer to be valid !.- Q 33:56
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا
Indeed Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who have faith! Invoke blessings on him and invoke Peace upon him in a worthy manner.
The Holy Prophet (saws) on many occcassions emphasied the inclusion of his family in the blessings invocation.
