Answer:
Who are aale mohamed
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
In the Arabic language, depending on the context, the term
Aal is used for both: the family or descendants of a person, or the people or
followers of a person.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 12 Surah
Yusuf verse 12:
6 (And Prophet Yaqoob
(a.s.) said:) Thus will thy Lord choose thee (O Yusuf) and
teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favor to
thee and to the Aale-Yaqoob (descendants of Yaqoob) even as He
perfected it to thy fathers Ibraheem and Ishaaq aforetime! For Allah is full of
knowledge and wisdom."
In the above quoted verse of Surah Yusuf, the term
Aale-Yaqoob clearly implies the descendants of the Noble Prophet Yaqoob
(a.s.).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 40 Surah
Mumin verses 45-46:
45 Then Allah saved him from (every) ill that they plotted (against
him), but the brunt of the Penalty encompassed on all sides the Ale-Firaun
(People and followers of the Pharaoh)
46 In front of the Fire will they be brought morning and evening: and
(the sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast
ye the Aale-Firaun (People and followers of the Pharaoh) into
the severest Penalty!"
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 50:
50 And remember We divided the sea for you and saved you, and drowned Aale-Firaun
(people of the Pharaoh) within your very sight.
But in the above quoted verses of Surah Mumin and Surah
Baqarah, the term Aale-Firaun is not restricted to the family or descendants
of the Pharaoh, but implies the nation or people or followers of the Pharaoh.
Your Question: Who
are the ( AAlle Rasool)?
Thus depending on the context the term is used, the
aale-Rasool could mean either the family or descendants of the Prophet (saws),
or the followers and the Ummah of the Prophet (saws).
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
