Friends of Allah

Friends of Allah

Wali, plural aliyah, is an Arabic word meaning friend. Awliya Allah, therefore, means Friends of Allah Pak.



Reference to the Friends of Allah Pak is found in the Quran, Hadith Qudsi & Narrations of our Holy Prophet (saw).



We would, firstly, like to bring you to the attention of the following authentic hadith which has been narrated in Abu Daud that Our Holy Prophet (saw) said:



‘O, people! Listen, understand and know it well. Allah has servants who are neither Prophets nor martyrs and whom the Prophets and martyrs yearn to be like, due to their seat and proximity in relation to Allah....



Our Holy Prophet (saw) then described these people and then read the following Ayah in which Allah Pak says in the Qur'an:





"Behold! Verily on the Friends of Allah there is no fear nor shall they grieve"

Quran (Surah10: Verse 62)



Abu Huraira (r.a) also reports a Hadith Qudsi in which our Holy Prophet (saw) informs us that Allah Pak said:



'Whosoever acts with enmity towards a Friend of Mine, I will indeed declare war against him"

[Hadith Qudsi: Bukhari]



We can therefore clearly conclude that the Friends of Allah Pak are envied by, but are neither, Prophets or martyrs, who have no fear or grief and are loved & protected by Allah Pak.



In the sub menus to this topic, we aim to describe their characteristics & purpose and provide you with enough information for you to be able to recognize a Friend of Allah Pak, visit him with correct discipline & understand some of the countless blessings entrusted to them.



Who knows, maybe one day, InshAllah, you too will have a desire to strive and become a Friend of Allah Pak.

Zikr and Muraqbah

By
Zikr and Muraqbah Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem Was Salaat O Salaam O Ala Rasool E Hil Kareem Notes: You can start doing the Zikr of Allah from the heart as prescribed below. Please also review here. There are basically at least two ways to remember Allah Pak. The Zikr of Allah Pak which can be done all of the time is the Zikr from the Qalb. i. Zikr Bil Lisaan (using the tongue such as Reciting Ayahs, Duas, Darood Shareef, kalima etc.) ii. Zikr Bil Qalb (Without using the tongue and hidden from other people) In Ahadith e Mubarak, it is narrated that this Zikr, which is khafi/hidden from even the Hifza Malaika (companion angels) is 70 times better than the Zikr by the tongue. (i.e. If you say the Illustrious Word "Allah" with the tongue and then the same with the Heart, the one with the Qalb is 70 times better, as it has no chance of  showoff etc The complete way of doing this Zikr is as below. The Qur'an E Hakeem orders us to reque

The Holy Quran (24:51)

The Holy Quran (24:51)  مومنوں کی تو یہ بات ہے کہ جب خدا اور اس کے رسول کی طرف بلائے جائیں تاکہ وہ ان میں فیصلہ کریں تو کہیں کہ ہم نے (حکم) سن لیا اور مان لیا۔ اور یہی لوگ فلاح پانے والے ہیں  إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ  The answer of the believers when they are called to God and His Apostle that he may judge between them, is  "We hear and obey." And they are the ones who will prosper.
