İnşikak 13-15:

• Halbuki, o vaktiyle kendi yakınları (أَهْلِهِ) (kendi gibi düşünenler) arasında pek keyifli bir hayat sürüyordu. Çünkü hiç bir zaman Allah(cc)'a döneceğini ummuyordu. Evet, öyle!. Fakat, Rabbi onun herşeyini görmekteydi.

  Muheet says that this root means “tent” in the Hebrew language. As such it means “the people who live
  under the same tent”. Thereafter, as Raghib says, it began to be used for people of the same race, religion
  or profession, house and city.
  اَهْلُ الرَّجُلِ “ ” (ahlur rajul) is commonly used for a man’s close relatives and family, and is also used for
  ones wife and children. “ اَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ ” (ahlul bait): those who live in the same house.
  Muheet says that it means a lot of things. Then with reference to Abu Hanifa, he says that it basically
  means wife.
  اَهْلِيٌّ “ ” (ahli) is that four-legged pet animal which becomes familiar with the house.
  The Quran does give respect to relationship but the basic criteria for distinguishing people is eeman and
  kufr i.e. trust and denial. Those who are bound within the same system of life, are of the same group or
  party, and are the individuals of the same nation, but those who are outside this bondage are members of
  the other group and as such “others” or strangers.
  If relatives belong to the same group, then their relationship becomes stronger, but if they are not of the
  same group then they do not stay as one’s own. This was the truth which was revealed to Nooh when he
  was told that his son was:
  11:46 O Nooh, he is not one of your group, his acts
  are not virtuous
  يَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَﻴْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَﻴْرُ
  Before this, Nooh was told that his son was not included in the Momin group. As such whether it be
  Ibrahim’s father or Nooh’s son, Lot’s wife or the closest relative of Muhammad, for example his uncle,if they are not bound within the same way of life, then they cannot be considered ahl or family. Such
  people will not be hated but will be treated humanely and justly. The ahl will be members of the group
  which will be the torch bearer of God’s system, His Lordship and which will nurture the human race.
