‘ahlu_s_sunnahwa_l_jamaa”ah is a pure statement in the Arabic language composed of the following words.

‘ahlun

al

sunnatun

wa

al

jamaa”atun

‘ahlun has among others the following meanings:

(1)- family, folks, relatives

(2)-followers, adherents

(3)-inhabitants

al is the definite article ‘the’

sunnatun means a way, a rule , a manner of doing , a coarse of action etc.( and in the ummah (people) of muhammad (S+) it means ... of muhammad (S+)

wa is the conjunction ‘and’

jamaa”atun means a gathering, a community, a group, a band, etc. (and in this context it means the generality of Muslims of the ummah of muhammad (S+) until the day of judgement).

So the correct meaning of ‘ahlu_s_sunnahwa_l_jamaa”ah is:

(1)- family, folks, relatives ..... Of muhammad (S+)

(2)-followers, adherents .......Of muhammad (S+)

and

(3)- the generality of the Muslims of the ummah of muhammad (S+) until the day of judgement)

The statement cannot be used or rejected by one group of Muslims against the other. All Muslims who follow the right way are included.

Just some minor corrections, brother:

"Ahl-us-Sunnati wal Jamaa`ati."

Ahl (Meaning people) is a Mudaaf in the state of Marfoo`, therefore it is "Ahlu". It is not "Ahlun" as a Mudaaf can never have "Al" or "Tanween" (Fathatain, Dammatain, Kasratain.)

Then, "As-Sunnati" is the Mudaaf Ilayhi of "Ahlu", so it will have "Al" (which becomes "As", because Seen is from al-Huroof ash-Shamsiyyah), and it will be "Sunnati" because the Mudaaf Ilayhi will always be Majroor.

Then, "Wa" is Harf-ul-Atf, and "Al-Jamaa`ati" is Ma`toof `Alayhi, and so will have the same I`raab as "As-Sunnati".

And the meaning is, "The People (or Followers) of the Sunnah (of Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu `Alayhi wa Sallam) and the Jamaa`ah (which refers to the Sahaabah, Taabi`een and Atbaa`-ut-Taabi`een, known as the Khayr-ul-Quroon.)

Wa Sallallaahu `Alaa Nabiyyinaa Muhammadiw wa Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Sallim.

100%. I have just broken the words into their unitary states. In my next posts I was going to give further clarification inshaa allaah.
