Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Final Conclusion- Your Journey to Certainty 3rd Case Study: Ali - The Appointed Guardian From God, the Executor of the Prophet's Will and His Successor 1st Research Topic - Logical Reasoning and Inevitability of the Existence of Guardians and For Every Prophet by Divine Appointment and the Meaning of ‘Wali’ Proposed Questions: Who are the Awsiyaa (executors of will)? What is the meaning of “Wali Allah" (divinely-appointed guardians)?

What is the logic and essentiality behind the presence of these Awsiyaa (executors of will) and Caliphs (successors) for most of the prophets? Does their selection take place by the Prophets themselves, or is it solely by divine selection without any intervention by the Prophets? Logical Reasoning: The Awsiyaa are those whom the prophets and messengers convey their will to so that they carry on the responsibility of protecting the message after them and executing its laws, goals, and content.

They will continue the propagation and widespread of the prophet’s message to the people. The purpose of this is to ensure that the message reaches all of the people it is intended to reach. It is to guarantee that the message does not get distorted by the foolish people or by the enemies after the departure of the prophet or messenger.

The Awsiyaa also focus on resolving all of the conflicts that may develop during the absence of the prophet or messenger, whether during his lifetime or after his departure. As for the term “Wali Allah”, it refers to the person who is in charge of the affairs of the people and oversees their matters, by the order of Allah (SWT).

This person should be very pious and righteous and a role model for the people on His earth and his role is to ensure the application of the rules and laws of Allah (SWT). Therefore, he has complete Wilayah (guardianship) on the people whom he is responsible for. Opposing him is equivalent to opposing the order of Allah (SWT) and that deserves punishment in this life and in the Hereafter. Based on this definition, all of the prophets and messengers are Awliyaa of Allah (SWT).

However, not all Awliyaa of Allah (SWT) are prophets or messengers. Likewise, the Awsiyaa of the prophets and messengers are all Awliyaa Allah, but not all Awliyaa Allah are Awsiyaa of the prophets and messengers. For example, Muhammad (SA) is a prophet, messenger, and Wali of Allah (SWT). Yosha’ ibn Noon (Joshua) is Wasi to Prophet Moses and he is also Wali Allah.
