a friend is a person with whom one
enjoys Mutual affection the Arabic noun

means nearness
beloved friend Helper and Patron
so calling a man Allah's friend or
Allah's beloved or near to Allah does
not offend the reverence due to Allah

nothing in the universe

impossible The Nearness to Allah is when
the heart is engrossed in Divine Rays

Allah's power when he hears he hears the
Divine verses when he speaks he sings
the Divine Praises when he moves he
moves in worship when he struggles and
strives he does so in obeying Allah
the prophet peace be upon him said Allah
said I declare a war on anyone who has
enmity against my friend my servant
draws near to me by carrying out
obligatory duties
then continues to draw nearer
through voluntary activities until I
love him and when I love him I become
his ears by which he hears
His Eyes by which he sees Hands by which
he grasps and feet by which he walks
if he asks I will give him and if he
seeks protection I will protect him
the signs of the friend of Allah here's
a beautiful Hadith
that gives some insight into the lives
of these wonderful people
someone asked the prophet peace be upon
him who are the friends of Allah he said
upon seeing them you are reminded of
Allah
since their hearts are polished they
reflect the Divine Beauty and goodness
just like a mirror reflects the Rays of
light their humility devoutness
absorption and worship reminds one of
the hereafter
