There have emerged in this era varieties of people claiming wilayah (being favoured by Allah SWT). There are two kinds of wilayah; that of al-Rahman (Allah SWT) and that of al-Shaytan (the devil). Knowing that there are those favored and chosen by Allah and there are those who have decided adhere to Shaytan, we must differentiate between these and those, as clarified by Allah swt and His Messenger s.a.w. The favored of Allah swt are the believers and the followers of Shaytan are not, and it has been difficult for people in this contemporary age to differentiate between the two; they know not the way to distinguish between their qualities and think that anyone on whose hand strange things occur could be regarded as the one favored by Allah swt. This article is based on clarifying those kinds of whims; to clarify the concept of al-Wilayah (guardianship) and the karamat associated with it from the perception of Ibn Taymiyyah and his writings. The article uses library, inductive and analytical methods to collect and analyze the required data. Information was collected from books and scholarly articles from both ancient and contemporary scholars. The article relies generally on the Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, the statements of companions and their successors, as well as scholars who thread their path. Thus, the central focus of the article is to clarify the concept of karamat al-Awliya’ from the point of view of the Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah (ASWAJA) as established in the Qur'an and Sunnah, through Ibn Taymiyah and his writings.
