Re: Who is the most followed aalim today
walaikum peace :)
Psyah..i dont want to get into a philosophical debate at the moment, but as you do know Iman has different levels...hence some there will be different levels of Momineen too. There are strong Momineen and weak momineen.
In the same way we have different levels of Awliyaa. The stronger the iman is the more closer a Wali he'll be to Allah. But he is a Wali, closer to Allah, or not so closer, is another issue. And thats my point. Being a wali is not really a big issue as how some people make it to be. They think Awliyaa are some next creation.
Assalamu'alaikum bro.
My understanding of Wali fits snuggly between the definitions you have given above ... I have put them in bold.
To be a Wali is an honour ... May Allah (SWT) make us all of that status. Ameen.
