Hum Apne Ap ko Ahle Sunnat wal jama'at kyu kehte hain . Sabse pehle Hum Musalman Hain kyunki Allah ﷻ ne Humara naam Muslman rakha Hain Qur'an me . Lekin Jab Munafiq Badmazhab ghus aye or Wo bhi apne Ap ko Musalmaan kehne lage tab Hum Pehchan ke liye Apne Ko Ahle Sunnat wal jama'at kehte hain. Sahaba ne or Ahle Bait ne bhi Apne Ap ko Ahle Sunnat wal jama'at keh kar Mukhatib kiya hain or ye Ahle Sunnat wal jama'at Huzoor ﷺ ki jamaat hain .
