From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)

Meaning
Al-Waliyy means the Protecting Friend, the Patron: the One who befriends, supports and protects the righteous.
Understanding the Name
Wilayah means close friendship and protection. Allah is the Wali of the believers, and those who are close to Him are called His awliya: “Unquestionably, for the friends (awliya) of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve” (Yunus 10:62).
The path of the mashaikh is the path of wilayah: through faith, taqwa and constant remembrance, a servant draws closer to his Lord until he becomes one of His friends.
Effects and reflections
اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ
“Allah is the Protecting Friend of those who believe; He brings them out of the darknesses into the light” (Al-Baqarah 2:257).
Allah is the Friend of the believers, and He brings His friends out of darkness. We too should regard iman as divine light and move towards Allah. We should keep our friendship with Allah above our friendship with His creatures. Allah is the Wali of the servant who has faith in Him, and He never disappoints His friends. The Muslim, too, should never disappoint his Creator.

Ya Hamid Meaning, Benefits & Wazifa – Al-Hamid (The Praiseworthy)
Al-Hamid
From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Hameed means the Praiseworthy: the One who alone deserves all praise, glorification and thanks, whether or not anyone praises Him.
Understanding the Name
Every prayer begins with Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘alamin, “All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.” Allah is praised for His perfect qualities and for His countless blessings. “O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy” (Fatir 35:15).
A believer who remembers Al-Hameed learns to praise Allah in ease and in difficulty, and his heart becomes grateful and content.
Effects and reflections
Speaking about a good and capable person makes the speaker good as well, just as bad company has a harmful effect. So by remembering goodness a person becomes good, and by dwelling on evil he becomes evil.
Once Hazrat Rabi‘a Basri (Rahmatullah Alaiha) went out of her house for some need. To please her, her students began to talk about the evils of the world. When she returned she was displeased and said that instead they should have recited Durood (Salawat) and remembered Allah, as that would have been better for them. It is better to speak about goodness, because it influences the speaker.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā Ḥamīd” 73 times after prayer, with Durood at the beginning and the end, will, Insha’Allah, be blessed with goodness.
