Al-Wali (Sufism) [2]

The believer is aware of Allah as the protecting friend of His righteous servants. All their difficulties are eliminated by Him, they have guidance, peace and success now and hereafter. Their hearts are expanded, no longer attached to the present. They know the Lord as His friends. They learn from all they see and hear and are enlightened by divine light so that all who see them are reminded of Allah. They feel neither fear nor sadness, needing and expecting nothing from anyone except Allah. Being with them one learns to be like them.

A mode of mystical awareness in the Sufi tradition associated with the fifty-fifth of the ninety-nine names of Allah.
