Reading the verse "I ask no reward but love of close kin," this Flash dwells on the Prophet's compassion and his Family (the Âl-i Beyt), then takes up the old Sunni–Shi'a dispute over the early Caliphate — describing, not adjudicating, it — and closes with an urgent plea for Sunni–Alevi reconciliation.
