Thanks for the nice input Sir. With your kind permission I would also like to add some bits.

According to some Indian Ahle Hadith theologists of previous century, the word Mawaali is the plural of the word Moula which means Slave This is stated by Moulana Shaheed-u-Din Banarsi. He in 1319 Hijri, in his book, Aasaan Lughat-e-Quran, wrote that the Mawaali is the plural of Moula & means the Slaves who have been freed.

This is in line with translation of word mawalikum in verse 5 of Surah e Ahzaab (33) by Ibn e Katheer:
**
(But if you know not their father’s then they are your brothers in the religion and Mawalikum (your freed servants) **

Quran Tafsir Ibn Kathir - An Adopted Child should be named after His Real Father

But in Surah e Maryam ‘Mawali’ has been used in the meaning of successors / cousins.
