what is the definition of Ahl ul Bayt

[Ibn_Sadique]

@righteous

You are absolutely right. Bibi Sara was the mother of many Prophets and her lineage included Jesus (AS) as well as our beloved Prophet (SAW).
[11:45]
And Noah called upon his Lord, and said:
"O my Lord! surely my son is of my family!
and Thy promise is true,
and Thou art the justest of Judges!"
Allah’s answer is:
[11:46]
He said: "O Noah! He is not of thy family:
For his conduct is unrighteous.
So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge!
I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!"
Brother answer me this question, If a son who is from the bloodline can be cast out of the Ahlul Bayt then without the clear example you cannot assume the wives are part of Ahlul Bayt in case of Prophet (SAW).

Brother righteous – you should know that this son of Hz. Noah (as) was a non-believer!!! That’s the reason he was cast out from the family of the Prophet Noah (as).

Further, the prophet (SAW) did divorce some of his wives and a couple were severly reprimanded by Allah in Quran.

• 066.004 *
  YUSUFALI: If ye two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so inclined; But if ye back up each other against him, truly Allah is his Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who believe,- and furthermore, the angels - will back (him) up.

• 066.005 *
  YUSUFALI: It may be, if he divorced you (all), that Allah will give him in exchange consorts better than you,- who submit (their wills), who believe, who are devout, who turn to Allah in repentance, who worship (in humility), who travel (for Faith) and fast,- previously married or virgins.

Please give me the names of wives who were divorced by the Prophet (saw).

Those wives who were reprimanded did repent and Prophet (saw) was well reclined towards them. Show me otherwise.

@righteous

This example is also set out regarding wives of other Prophets.

• 066.010 *
  YUSUFALI: Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: “Enter ye the Fire along with (others) that enter!”

This wife of Hz. Noah (as) and that of Hz. Hz. Lut (as) were unbelievers and were false to their husbands.

Care to tell which of Prophet’s wives were unbelievers?

@Maverick_27

his prediction became true and eventually we see hazrat ali became caliph . beside we see that his tenure was not an ideal period in the islamic history filled with so many controversaries and war between different group of muslims. administration was not that gud (by no mean i want to say that hazrat ali was responsible for all this however he cuold not set the things right as hazrat abu bakar did when majority of the arab bacame prosteliyzed after the death of prophet but abu bakar succeed in setting the thing rights). chaos remain there untill the hazrat hasan did baith of hazrat muavia and things settled down and muslim got united again.

Brother Maverick – No fault lies on Hz. Ali’s (ra) shoulder for the apparent shortcomings at the time of his rule. ( I’m aware you didn’t imply that)

He was the most able and had all the requirements of a great leader.

He was surrounded by conspiracies from within his camp and from his opponents. There were opportunists in his camp and that of his opponents.

There were third party (outsiders) conspirators who were busy sowing seeds of dissension within the Ummah.

This is the reason of all the chaos that was created.

This was well explained by Hz. Ali (ra) himself.

Once Hz. Ali bin Abi Talib (ra) was asked by his follower as to why he was not ‘successful’ compared to the three earlier Khaleefs, he replied to the effect: “The earlier Khaleefs (May Allah be pleased with them) had likes of me as their advisor and it is my misfortune to have likes of you as mine.”
