The Awliyah - (Protected Friends of Allah) do not hate people, nor do they harbour ill will toward them; indeed, they do not see them at all. When a lover beholds his beloved, if the whole world & its delights were to be paraded before them, their gaze would not fall upon it even for the blinking of an eye. Such is it with those who love Allah.
Morocco is known as the "Land of the Awliyah" and the Patron Saint (Qutb) of the Awliyah was Moulay Abd as-Salām ibn Mashīsh at the time.
Who can become a Wali (Protected friend of Allah)? The answer is: anyone. Many are hidden, you may not even know a person is a Wali. Anyone who claims to be a wali himself, often is not, as the Wali is not one who declares this to the world.
Just by receiving a gaze from a Wali, one's life can change. As people often speak about the "evil eye", there is also the "good eye" from blessed individuals.
May Allah allow us to become of the Awliyah and to receive their gaze 🤲
