Man kunto Maulahu, Fa Ali Maulahu
This is one of the Hadees which means…
Mai jiska Maula, Ali unka Maula…
(For whom I am the Maula, Ali is their Maula too)
Again the word Maula or Mawla has many meanings depending upon the context it is used in…
The word mawla is derived from the root و ل ي w-l-y , meaning "to be close to", "to be friends with", or "to have power over", “Master follower relationship” Guru Sishya (disciple) etc.
It’s suppose to the most important Hadees that justifies Hazrat Ali’s lineage and to be Prophet’s successor after him…
