One of the issues considered by Muslim thinkers, especially the commentators of the Qur'an, is the adequacy or inadequacy of each of the Qur'an and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in bringing about a happy life for human and also the role of the two in relation to each other. The present article, based on the interpretation of the verse of Tibyan [explanation], seeks the Qur'anic answer to the above-mentioned subject by collecting information from library and referring to evidence in verses, narrations and interpretive books, and analyzing information in a conceptual, propositional and systematic way. The purpose of this research is to provide a foundation for closer approximation between Islamic denominations based on the verses of the Qur'an and the narrations of the Holy Prophet (PBUH and his progeny). The research finding is that the verse of Tibyan [explanation], like the Hadith of Saqaleen, indicates to the fact that the Holy Qur'an and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) need each other and complement each other in the mission of complete guidance of human beings to the home of perfection. To achieve the very desired perfection, one needs to rely on both the Holy Qur'an and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
