Al Wali O – The Protecting Friend



 Only and only Allah (S.W.T) is an individual’s true friend. One may consider some people really true friends, but somewhere there are strong chances of the other person having a different mindset and viewing things from other perspectives. At times you don’t even feel like making clarifications of what I meant and what was the real issue or this or that.
But have you ever wondered, it so easy to communicate with Allah (S.W.T), it is so easy to reveal your thoughts and share everything which is going on in your mind and with that you know that HE (S.W.T) understands each and everything. The best part is that HE already knows everything from the minutest to the highest detail. This was a sudden thought and reflection I had that no doubt the only true friend in a person’s life is Allah (S.W.T).
Your situations, the events turning and twisting in your life, your attitudes and behaviors are understood the best by Al – Wali, the true protecting friend. Whenever you feel low, whenever you are in turmoil and trials, just sit and share your thought process with your Rabb. He (S.W.T) will always be there for you. Infact HE (S.W.T) is with his slaves 24/7.
You may think that you have true friends, but remember the best and real friend is only Allah (S.W.T). We mess up in life; do a number of disliked things by Allah (S.W.T) but still he does not leave us, HE says that I respond to my slaves whenever they call upon me. Isn’t this so marvelous? He forgives our mistakes repeatedly and yet we do not realize or understand our mistakes. For going back to HIM and apologizing, we do not face any difficulty as we have true and sincere hope from HIM that he will forgive us truly.
At times of immediate need, HE is always by us. His help is the help we require from any best friend, His support, assistance and guidance is what is required by individuals to move ahead in life.
Ya Allah, please befriend us and make us do the right things in this world that are beneficial for us in our worldly life as well as the hereafter. Make your friendship the most dear thing to us. Let us strive to make YOU happy Ya Allah. Instill in us the desire to make you happy always, Ya Wali O. Ameen. Ya Rabbul Aalameen.
