Al-Waliyy

Al-Waliyy — The Protecting Friend: the one who befriends and protects.

The form الولي occurs in 2 ayahs (for example 42:9, 42:28). Those passages are listed below, found by matching the Arabic word form rather than the translation.

The enumeration of ninety-nine names comes from a hadith, not from the Quran, and the lists differ between narrations. IslamicGraph records the traditional set and shows, for each name, the ayat where that exact Arabic form occurs — so what rests on the Quran and what rests on the enumeration stay visible as different things.
