Ahlebait

Submitted by SIRAJ/Chenna (India), Apr 12, 2010 at 13:14

Sura AHZAB- Ayah 33. The Ayah was revealed on 5Hijri in the house of UMME SALMAH(RA). The transliteration is " Allah desire that O people of Nabi's(SA) household(Ahlebait), to remove all evil and to purify you all. First in the Ruku of the Ayah, it is addressed to UMM UL MOMINEENIN(RA). At that time Huzur called Hazrath Ali, Fathima, Hassan & Hussain and he(SAWS) prayed to Allah to include them in his household.(Tirmazi- Hassan Garib) - In the chain of narrator one is Abu Saeed whose reveleation is doubtful). Our Mullahs (S------ & S-------) deleted the beloved wife's of Huzur and we carry the same today. Now I have a question "WHO IS UR AHLE-BAIT? For me, first my wife then my children. When my daughter married to someone(say Z) she becomes the Ahlebait of Z. Okay let us agree that she also is a member, Then why we have forget the other daughters of Huzur(SA) Zainab, Ruqaiyah & Umme-kulthum(RA).

2. When the siblings of Fathimah & Ali(RA) are called SYEDs, why we should not call siblings of (RA)& Abi-aas(RA) as SYEDs ? A daughter of Fathimah & Ali(RA) was married to Omar(RA), Why their siblings are called Usmani & Farooqi ? could any one enlighten me. Jazakallak Khair. Siraj
