Love/Allegiance
Contents > Alliance and Enmity > Love/Allegiance
al-Walaa’ - You must be devoted and have allegiance to Allah exclusively. al-Walaa’ (and Muwalaat) is to love Allah exclusively without to love except for his sake anybody, nor to ally to anybody or support, elevate, accompany, befriend or have any inclination to anybody except those who Allah orders us to have that alliance with. We are obliged to love and have allegiance to the all Muslims around the world, regardless of race, colour, nationality, language etc. We are also obliged to love, for the sake of Allah, all prophets, messengers, angels, companions and other believers. Allah says,
“Your (real) friends are (no less than) Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers, - those who establish regular prayers and regular charity, and they bow down humbly (in worship). As to those who turn (for friendship) to Allah, His Messenger, and the (fellowship of) believers, - it is the fellowship of Allah that must certainly triumph. O you who believe! Take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport, - whether among those who received the Scripture before you, or among those who reject Faith; but fear Allah, if you have faith (indeed)." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Maa’idah, 5: 55-57
And Allah says,
"O you who believe, do not take the kafireen as awliyaa' instead of the Believers, do you wish to take Allah as a proof against you?" al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa’, 4: 144
