A’ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 10:62). Allah ﷻ states in the Quran Karim: ‘Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.’ Awliya means the beloved servants of Allah ﷻ. They are the chosen servants of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ assigned them to be the means for mercy among people. They were visible in old times and known everywhere. Now they are hidden and rarely show themselves. It is the requirement of this time. Allah ﷻ required them to be hidden in the end of times because whatever Allah ﷻ says will happen. And then they will show themselves again. When will they show themselves? In the time of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam.

There is always same number of Awliya in this world. However, they seem less relative to the world population. According to the population and people’s faith in old times, they were seen more and known everywhere. Leave aside their invisibility nowadays; there are fake ones like everything else now. People assume someone to be from the Awliya and are cheated most of the time. There are many people who are ready to make all kinds of traps in order to cheat people.

Therefore, may Allah ﷻ send people the true one. If people are on the right way, they will be rewarded based on their actions and intentions. When a person follows someone for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ, in belief that he is the beloved servant of Allah ﷻ, and when he obeys Allah’s ﷻ orders of Shariah and Tariqa, he will be in benefit. Even if the person he’s following is not from the Awliya but a cheater, Allah ﷻ will reward him for his intention. Certainly, He will send him the true one.

The Awliya are friends of Allah ﷻ, the beloved servants of Allah ﷻ. Allah ﷻ will eventually send the real one to those who love and respect them. May Allah ﷻ protect people from the evil of their egos. Allah’s ﷻ mercy is great. He will not let anything go unnoticed. If someone’s intention is bad, his end will be bad too. If someone’s intention is pure, he will certainly end up well. May Allah ﷻ not separate us from the right way. May Allah ﷻ not separate us from the beautiful way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
