Based on the Qurʾānic verse and narrations from both Islamic main denominations (al-Farīqayn), the sole request and reward of the Final Prophet’s (PBUH) mission from Muslims is loving-kindness (mawaddah) for his close kin (qurbā), and he sought no reward other than this for conveying his message. Muḥyī al-Dīn Ibn ʿArabī asserts that if someone neglects the Prophet’s only request, they will not be able to gaze upon his face on the Day of Judgment nor hope for his intercession. This article clarifies Ibn ʿArabī’s approach to love (maḥabbah) and loving-kindness (mawaddah) for the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), extracting it from primary sources, and analyzes the essential concomitants of his perspective. It addresses the following questions: What is the meaning of mawaddah for the Ahl al-Bayt? Given his definition of mawaddah, what are the implications of his approach? Does Ibn ʿArabī adhere to these essential concomitants? If so, does he explicitly articulate them? In answering these questions, the study concludes that mawaddah for the Ahl al-Bayt is an act of worship and a pillar of the Sharīʿah. Loving-kindness for them is inseparable from love for the Prophet himself. Failing to show loving-kindness toward them constitutes a betrayal of the Prophet and disobedience to his commands. Most importantly, mawaddah entails steadfastness in loving the Ahl al-Bayt, as it is a divine trust (amānah). It means obeying and following their guidance, and neglecting it results in disobedience to the Prophet’s commands and departure from his Sharīʿah.
