4:75
Waliyy and Nasir (Guardian and Helper):
Argument 13: The verse (4:75) says: “Our Lord! get us out of this town whose inhabitants are tyrants, and appoint for us from You a guardian, and appoint for us from You a helper.”
It is clear that the gist of this sacred Quraanic teaching is that the guardian and helper who is appointed by God Himself is true and can guard and help people. For God has also granted him power to comply with and accomplish the task for which He has appointed him. Since such a person as the mazhar of the guardianship and help of God, no ordinary person can attain this exalted rank, except the Perfect Man who is the Holy Prophet and his true successor, the exalted Imam.
Proof 12: The walī and helper is appointed by Allah so that he may be the fountainhead of heavenly guidance and given knowledge, as the Qur’ᾱn says: “And appoint for us from You (min ladunka) a wali (friend, guardian), and appoint for us from You a helper. (4:75). In this verse, the phrase “min ladunka” which means “from your presence”, “from Your side”, “from near you”, is worth reflecting on. It implies that the Perfect man, who is most excellent in knowledge, wisdom and taqwᾱ (piety), has the rank of the closeness of God. This Perfect Man is the exalted Imam of the time, whose walᾱyat, i.e. friendship and love, is incumbent.
