Allah tells us that His Awliya' (friends and allies) are those who believe
and have Taqwa of Allah as He defined them. Every pious, God-fearing person is a
friend of Allah, therefore,
[لاَ خَوْفٌ
عَلَيْهِمْ]
(no fear shall come upon them) from the future horrors they will face in the
Hereafter.
[وَلاَ هُمْ
يَحْزَنُونَ]
(nor shall they grieve.) over anything left behind in this world. Ibn Jarir
recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that Allah's Messenger said:
«إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ
اللهِ عِبَادًا يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاء»
(Among the servants of Allah there will be those whom the Prophets and the
martyrs will consider fortunate). It was said: "Who are these, O Messenger of
Allah, so we may love them'' He said:
«هُمْ قَوْمٌ
تَحَابُّوا فِي اللهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَمْوَالٍ وَلَا أَنْسَابٍ، وُجُوهُهُمْ نُورٌ
عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ، لَا يَخَافُون إِذَا خَافَ النَّاسُ، وَلَا
يَحْزَنُونَ إِذَا حَزِنَ النَّاس»
(These are people who loved one another for the sake of Allah without any
other interest like money or kinship. Their faces will be light, upon platforms
of light. They shall have no fear (on that Day) when fear shall come upon
people. Nor shall they grieve when others grieve.) Then he recited:
[أَلا إِنَّ
أَوْلِيَآءَ اللَّهِ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ]
(Behold!! Verily, the Awliya' (friends and allies) of Allah, no fear shall
come upon them nor shall they grieve.)
