Answer:
The awliya (close friends of Allah) are mentioned by Allah, and He described their attributes in His saying:[Yunus 10:62-63] Whoever is characterized by true faith and mindfulness of Allah is among the awliya of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). One’s status as a wali may be pure and strong, or it may be deficient in relation to Allah, depending on the weakness of his faith and the lack of certainty he possesses. Thus, the status of wilayah varies from person to person according to their uprightness, righteousness, and good deeds. However, every believer who is weighty in the scale is a wali of Allah. Yes.
