  1. Who are the Allies of Allah

  2. “Whoever obeys Allah and the Prophet, these are the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed His grace among the prophets, the ever-believing ever-truthful, the martyrs, and the doers of good, and these are the best of company.” (Qur'an 4:69) And, in the hadith: "The sun has neither risen nor set on anyone after the prophets and the messengers better than Abu Bakr." The best of the nations is the nation of Muhammad, as Allah said: “You are the best nation brought forth for the people.” (Qur'an 3:10) Allah has put his righteous slaves upon whom He has bestowed his grace in four levels, saying:

  3. "The best generation of all is the one in which I was sent. This is followed by the one after that, and then the one after that." In another hadith, the Prophet said: "Do not defame my companions. I swear by the One in whose hand my soul is: If any one of you gave gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, it would not equal a single handful from one of them nor half of it." So of all the nations of people created, the best is the nation of the prophet muhammad. And the best of his nation were the first of it:

  4. “Those of you who gave before the victory and fought are not the same as those who gave after that and fought. The first ones are greater in rank, and to both Allah has promised a good reward.” (Qur'an 50:10) “And the forerunners, the early ones among the Migrators and the Helpers, and those who followed them in a goodly fashion, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah.” (Qur'an 9:100) And of his companions – the best of them were the first of them – The ones who migrated from Mecca to Madina and the Ansar arabs of Madina who took the migrators in. Allah says:

  5. “Verily, we have made for you a clear victory (literally: opened for you a clear opening), so that Allah may forgive for you all that has preceded and all that is yet to come.” (Qur'an 48:1) The companions asked the Prophet about this saying: "Is this a victory?!" The Prophet answered them saying: "Yes." The forerunners, the early ones are those who gave and fought before the victory. Victory here means the treaty of Hudaibiya, which was the first victory in Makka, and about it Allah said:

  6. What makes them the best? The best allies of Allah are those greatest in knowledge of the message brought by Muhammad, and most diligent in following it. Abu Bakr was the greatest Muslim in terms of his knowledge of the message and his practical application of its dictates, thus he is the greatest of the allies of Allah. And of the forerunners the best of them are the four Caliphs, and the best of them is Abu Bakr followed by Umar. This is well known from the companions and those whon followed them in a goodly fashion

  7. Likewise anyone who received the message of one of the previous prophets: they can never be an ally of Allah unless they follow that Prophet who was sent to them (i.e. to their time and place, to their nation). Whoever claims to be an allies and he has heard of the message of Muhammad but does not follow his way is not an ally and if he dies upon a way other than muhammad's he is a kafr. Likewise whoever claims to believe in what the prophet was sent with but only accepts some of what the prophet came with is a kafr no matter how much he calls or thinks himself muslim or an allie No one who has heard of the message of Muhammad can ever be an ally of Allah unless he follows Muhammad so whatever he achieves in terms of guidance and religious practice is by means of and through Muhammad

  8. “Verily, Allah is with those who have taqwa of Him and who are doers of good.” (Qur'an 16:128) Allah said to Musa: “Verily, I am with you, I hear and I see” (Qur'an 20:46) “And when he (i.e. the Prophet) said to his companion: "Grieve not, surely Allah is with us." And Allah sent upon him calm, and aided him with forces which you did not see.” (Qur'an 9:40) Allah is with Musa and Harun in this sense, but not Pharaoh. He is with Muhammad and Abu Bakr in the cave (in the last verse above), but not with Abu Jahl and the rest of the enemies of the Prophet. He is with those who have taqwa and those who do good, but not the oppressors and transgressors. For the allies of Allah one of the greatest rewards is that Allah is with them in his knowledge:

  9. Allah is most high and above his creation physically. The word with in the Qur'an clearly cannot mean that Allah himself is in every place The meaning, then, is that He is with these people with His aid:
