Question:
Asalamu Alaykum,
I hope you are all well.
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim told me that my lineage is from Sayidina Ali (as) They also gave me the name [private]. Someone said to me that this means I am a Husayni Sayid. I would like to ask if this does mean I am from the Ahlul Bayt?
Forgive for any lack of adab
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
You are a Alawi descendant of Sayyidina Ali (as) and that makes you from Ahlul Bayt and Allah knows best.
