Certain verses have prompted me to contemplate the true purpose and message that God intended for everyone, not just those specifically addressed.
For example:
33:33
Remain in your homes, and do not display (your) beauty as it used to be displayed in the days of earlier ignorance; and establish Salāh, and pay Zakāh, and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah only intends to keep (all sorts of)
filth away from you, O members of the
family (of the prophet), and to make you pure through a perfect purification
3:61
Tell whoever disputes with you on this matter after true knowledge has come to you: 'Come! Let us summon
our sons and your sons, and
our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, and then let us pray together and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie.
11:73: They said, "Do you marvel at Allah's command? Allah's mercy and His blessings have always been upon you,
O people of the house. Surely, He is Praiseworthy, Glorious." [[ this verse is continuation of the previous where Abraham family
Furthermore, in Sunni Islam, the conclusion of every prayer involves sending blessings to the family of the Prophet, just as blessings were sent to the family of Prophet Ibrahim.

Simultaneously, the Quran contains various verses that emphasize the importance of strict adherence to Taqwah (piety) and impartiality towards the wives and sons of the several Prophets. Therefore, the question arises as to why certain verses seem to display leniency or favoritism towards Prophet Mohammad's immediate family.
I am also posing this question because the idea of Ahle-Bait has been at the heart of a significant divide between Sunni and Shia Muslims, leading to a long and violent history. However my main question is true interpretation of the verses mentioned above which appears to show favouritism of some sort.
What is your opinion about these verses so I may understood their meaning from pure Quranic point of view?
Thanks
