Reciting this after every prayer as I always do, but today I noticed how it is Allah who is the Walīy of the believers but the false gods - ٱلطَّٰغُوت - are not the allies of the disbelievers – rather it is reversed in their case. Allah is our Guardian and Ally because He is capable. Meanwhile, the false gods are not capable of helping anyone so the disbelievers must be the ones who initiate this futile allegiance. Thus, Al-Walīy brings us out of darkness into His light meanwhile the disbelievers are lead astray towards the suffocating darkness - ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ - from which they will have no saviour. Just thinking about this ayah fills me with so much emotion. Ya Walīy, never leave us alone to fend for ourselves even for the blink of an eye and guide us to your Light.
