DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 6th day of Dhul-Qa'dah 1446AH, Sunday, 4th May 2025.
ALLAH AZZAWAJAL IS OUR PROTECTOR, OUR WALI. BismilLah.
We have different categories of friends. Some friends are fun to hang out with, but that is pretty much it; you can not exactly rely on them. Other friends are there for you but don’t always give you the best advice. But there are some friends, or that one friend, that truly has your back. The friend you would call to bail you out because you have no doubt that they will, no matter how much trouble you are in. This friend is actually protective of you. Such a friend is constantly reminding you of ALLAH Azzawajal, Jannah. Jahannam, etc. Think for a moment: do you have a friend like that?
ALLAH, subhanahu wa ta’ala (Exhalted is HE), tells us that HE is that Protective Friend. HE is al-Wali. ALLAH Azzawajal says in the Qur’an:
“And it is HE who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads HIS MERCY. And HE is the Protective Friend (al-Wali), the Praiseworthy.” (Qur’an, 42:28).
When looking into the root of this word, we can not help but feel close to ALLAH (swt). The feeling that comes with understanding HIS Names and the relationship of those Names with us shows us the beautiful intimacy of ALLAH'S knowledge of HIS servants.
HE is the true Wali, demonstrating HIS closeness to you and HIS protectiveness of you. This beautiful verse encapsulates how ALLAH (swt) manifests this attribute in our lives: ALLAH says:
“ALLAH is the wali of those who believe. HE brings them out from darknesses into the light…” (Qur’an, 2:257). Allahu Akbar. Alhamdulillah. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
