It is mentioned in the Qur'aan that Allah chooses His Awliya
(singular 'wali' ling. meaning Friend) from His slaves based upon their
righteousness.
Allah mentioned the characteristics of His Walee saying:
"Verily, Awliya of Allah are those who are not overcome by fear of grief; they
are those who believe and have Taqwa." [Soorah Yoonus (10): 62-63]
and: "Verily, His close friends (Awliya) are only those
with Taqwa but most of them do not realize it." [Soorah al-Anfaal (8): 34]
Thus, a Walee of Allah is he, who has Eeman, Taqwa and fear of Allah.
Unfortunately, many Muslims have exaggerated in this matter
and specified some individuals to be 'Awliya of Allah', while assuming piety
and righteousness for them. This practice is incorrect because the
characteristics, which Allah mentions about His Awliya (Eeman and Taqwa) are
matters of the heart and knowing them is beyond the capability of the slaves.
Also, because these characteristics are present in every believer in varying
degree, therefore, to specify some individuals to these qualities is unjust.
This practice of elevating people to specific ranks of piety
and giving them certain status is a practice imported from Christianity and
Hinduism. It was the practice of the Christians that they would elevate some
individuals to great ranks for whom they assumed spirituality. And this was the
main cause, which destroyed their religion.
It is also seen that tombs are built at the graves of these
so-called 'Awliya of Allah' and prayers are directed to them, either believing
them to be intercessors or benefactors. This practice is in complete
contradiction to the teachings of Islam. Islam teaches worship of One True Lord
and fearing Him alone.
Taqwa the Fearing Allah
The term Taqwa is often translated as 'piety' or
'God-fearing', but a better equivalent would be 'God-consciousness'. It is
considered to be the essential quality of a believer. Taqwa of a believer
should illuminate through all facets of his/her life, just like a bright light
would shine through all openings of an empty house in an empty field in a dark
night. Taqwa, when coupled with Imaan (faith), makes a well-rounded believer.
Taqwa goes hand in hand with Imaan; one cannot be complete without the other,
and vice versa.
Taqwa is the state of hyper-vigilance against falling into sin
in negligence. It is the idea that a believer is always on guard and is
perpetually alert of not committing any action that would earn the displeasure
of the Almighty. It is the state of preparedness of anticipating a situation
where one might be coerced into doing Haram, and as a result of this readiness,
to avoid and stay out of that Haram. In its higher forms, Taqwa is the fear of
not of not taking the best path towards Allah's Pleasure and His Grace.
Taqwa is often translated as 'fear of God', but the real
essence of Taqwa is being hyper-vigilant and the 'fear' of doing Haram out of
neglect of Allah's orders. It is the state of consciousness to be mindful of
Allah at all times and achieve His maximum pleasure at all times. Therefore,
any such qualities of a person that would make him forgetful of Allah are
detrimental to his/her Taqwa. The love of this world, greed, hatred or enmity
towards a fellow human, pride, etc. are all examples of such traits that hurt a
believer's Taqwa. As a result, the more cognizant a believer is, and more alert
(s)he is in protecting him/herself from such detrimental traits that would make
him/her forgetful of Allah, the better his/her Taqwa or 'God-consciousness' is.
The consciousness that Taqwa implies is a reverential consciousness.
The state of alertness when one is in awe and admiration of something or
somebody. Imagine you met your lifelong role model, how attentive to their
every need would you be? You would notice all their little quirks and nuances,
their body language, behavior, what irks them, and what makes them happy. If
they indicated that they want something, you would rush to get it done in the
best manner possible and do it in a way that would make them most happy. You
would suppress any internal resistance inside you that would keep you from
doing the best job. You would be 'fearful' in becoming complacent to their need
and not doing your best for their satisfaction. A parallel example is if you
were in the company of someone you deeply and intensely loved. You would
anticipate and plan ahead to make them feel as comfortable and at ease as
possible. You will always be alert and vigilant and will think ahead so as to
avoid any situations or scenarios that would make them even remotely unhappy.
All your efforts will be focused in keeping them happy and comfortable as
humanely as possibly. If they called upon you, you would drop everything you
would be doing to attend to their need immediately. Also, you would be so
conscious of the surroundings and especially vigilant to how you act, what you
say or do in their presence, so that they don't get turned off in any way.
