1) Wali is a pious Muslim who due to his knowledge and closeness to Allah
(The Exalted) has been given a specific position. Usually this grade is given
after strictly following the Shariah and also devotion and worship.
It is however,
given sometimes from birth and therefore without devotion and effort. Out of
all the Awliya, the highest grade is held by the Khulafa-e-Raashideen. There
have been Awliya in every era and will always be in every era, however, their
recognition is difficult. Allah (The Exalted) have given the Awliya great strength,
whoever asks for their help is given that help even though they may be a great
distance away. There knowledge is extensive, upto the extent that many give
information of 'Makaana Wamaayakoon' (what has happened and what will happen)
and on 'Lo'he Mahfooz'. 2) After death their power and strength increases. To visit their shrines is to gain virtue, prosperity and blessing. To present them with Isal-e-Sawaab is a very good thing and a way of gaining blessings. To perform the 'Urs' (death anniversary) of Awliya-e-Kiram, meaning every year to pray the Qur'an, perform Fatiha, speech ceremony, Isal-e-Sawaab are all good things and are worthy of reward. However, as regard to bad acts and non-allowable actions like, dance, music, group acts etc. are all sinful deeds and are even more sinful when performed near shrines.
