And Allah only wishes to remove all abomination from you, members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless. {34} And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes, of the Signs of Allah and His Wisdom: for Allah understands the finest mysteries and is well-acquainted (with them).

Analysis Of Surah Al Ahzaab Verses 32- 34:
Allah subhana wa tallah says: “O WIVES of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women:”, implication is that you are no more ordinary WOMEN you have been married to a Prophet, therefore your status is high. And due to their status Allah says to them: “if ye WIVES do fear ((Allah)), be not too complacent of speech …”, Allah subhana wa tallah instructs the wives of Prophet {SAW} that they should not be careless of the manner in which they converse, and Allah gives the reason for this; “… lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye WIVES in a speech (that is) just.” and Allah gives reason why He wants the WIVES OF PROPHET {saw} to not to be complacent; “… Allah only wishes to remove all Ar’rijs{abomination} from you WIVES, o members of the Family, and to make you WIVES pure and spotless.”

Allah subhana wa tallah instructs the wives of Prophet {SAW} to ” … be not too complacent of speech lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: …” And Allah further states: “… Allah only wishes to remove all Ar’rijs from you WIVES, O members of the Family, and to make you WIVES pure and spotless.” Context reveals that Ar’rijs is refference to a males whos character, piety, beleife is not worthy of consideration {i.e.} Munafiqeen. And only one way of possiable contact with such filthy, dispickable people was possiable: “And recite what is rehearsed to you in your homes, of the Signs of Allah and His Wisdom …” { Waz’kurna, Recite, Teach }that Prophets wives were teachers of Sahabah {RA}, and Munafiqeen would have taken this oppurtunity to harm the reputation of Prophets wives. Therefore Allah commands them not to be too complacent in speech.

“And stay quietly in your houses, and uncover { i.e. face, body, etc …} not like the uncovering of Jahiliyah {Ignorance} … “ Allah subhana wa tallah instructs the wives of Prophet {SAW} that they should not un-cover their bodies like the people of Jahiliyah did. Note Jahiliyah is period prior to Islam in which strict rules of segregation for male and female was not in place. Then Allah commands these wives of Prophet {SAW: “… and continue to perform regular Prayer, and give regular Charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger.” And the reason for both set of commands is stated by Allah subhana wa tallah: “And Allah only wishes to remove all Ar’rijs from you members of the Family, and to make you {Wives} pure and spotless.” Ar’rijs in the context of the ayaat means impurities with in ones own self resulted because of not performing Salah, personel short commings, unlawful earnings, not living life according to Sunnah of Prophet {SAW}. Allah states that He wishes you to keep Wives of RasoolAllah {SAW} pure from these defects … and make them clean and keep them purified.

Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat beleive that Wives of RasoolAllah {SAW} are the prime members of who have been conffered the title of Ahle Bayt by Allah Subhana wa tallah. While Ahle Bayt e Ali {Family Of Ali ‘ra’ } is the secondary status members. This ofcourse does not mean that Prophets Wives have higher status then Hazrat {RA} but aim is to highlight the importance of Quranic verdict, because Quran first affirms the title for the wives of RasoolAllah {SAW}, the Ahadith affirms the same status for Ahle Bayt e Ali {RA}. The commentary on the verses reveals that Ahle Bayt in general have been protected from personel short commings and have been purified thoroughly as well as being protected from the harm of ill intention of people.
