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.

  1. It's very well written. One thing I would like to request you is that always use capitals for ALLAH to show utmost respect. Another thing is to use complete word SUBHAN A HU W TA'ALA instead of writing (S.W.T). even you see many people write aoa for Asalamwalekum.. MA for MASHALLAH and so on and so forth...I think we should use full and complete words and use captital letters to show highest degree of respect to ALLAH ALMIGHTY!

  2. Whose mama is the best in the world? Mrs. Haseeb asked.
    "Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, ...." there were uncountable voices in the class room. It was a cool pleasant morning, when a teacher asked this question in the girls class and the little fairies went too excited to say "mine"... that everyone wanted to pull the voice longer than the other. Someone took the creative turn and screamed; "I love my mama the most". Then all the students started saying the same sentences.. and Mrs. Haseeb, my class teacher of class 5th in 1995, said, "My mama is the best".

    It is 2013 now...almost 18 years have passed..the voices of "mine mine" are still in my mind... I wonder what forced them all to say this...and most importantly, why the teacher joined them in the same tone...
    It was just after reading this blog of Nida, which flushed the 18 years old scene in my mind and I understood why they all were acting like this. They were empowered by the force present in their instinct...the force of love...which ALLAH has given to every human being and has commanded them to love each other and most importantly, love HIMSELF...love the CREATOR...and HE commands us to love HIS creatures... be it the mother...the mates or anyone you have differences with..remember HE is the best friend and HIS beloved Prophet Mohammad PBUH says (I am quoting the meaning), the one who loved for ALLAH, got angry for ALLAH, gave away for ALLAH and forbade for ALLAH, completed his imaan.
    ALLAH is THE BEST FRIEND but HE asks us to have friendship with HIS creatures. He asks us to be kind with non believers, even animals and flowers. HE asks us to walk humbly on earth. HE asks us to love everything HE created and made it dear to HIM.
    Can we love each other for the sake of Allah? Can we please our BEST FRIEND?
