WaliIn the spritual tradition of Islam, a Wali (lit. protector or guardian), or Waliullah/WaliAllah is a friend of God. Usually these people are members of Sufi (mystic) communities who are considered to have a special relationship with Allah. Some of them are believed to have directly conversed with God. Famous Walis include Ali, son-in-law of Muhammed; Fatima, daughter of the prophet. About Wali i.e. Wilayat, the Holy Quran has said: إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاَةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ {55} 5:55 Only Allah is your Wali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.
