What is a Muslim's duty towards the Household of the Prophet (Ahl al-Bayt), Sayyiduna Ali, and Sayyiduna Husayn, based on hadiths such as: "My Household and I are like Noah's Ark: whoever embarks upon it is saved, and whoever lags behind it is perished," and "Whoever loves Husayn, I love him; and whoever I love, Allah loves him," and "Adhere to the love of the Household of the Prophet," and "I am the master of all beings, and Ali is the master of the Arabs"? And do visiting their graves and reciting Al-Fatiha for them constitute a gift and a bond of affection between us and them?
