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.
“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.
Treatment (Amal)
A man whose wife has fallen into bad conduct should recite “Yā Waliyy” 57 times after every prayer; Insha’Allah, she will soon be reformed.
