what is a maulana or a Wail?

Question

can 1 base a decision on what a maulana or a wali says?

yes caring... this has something to do with what you are talking about... i am going to post another question so that i can get some advice... I really wish we can overcome this situation.

Answer 1

Maulana and Wali don't have the same meaning.

Maulana (Arabic script مولانا, alternative transcription mawlānā) is an Arabic word literally meaning "our lord" or "our master" (defined in the Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic as "a form of address to a sovereign").

Wali (Arabic والي, plural Awliya' أولياء, Persian/Turkish pronunciation Vali), is an Arabic word, meaning master (or boss or owner), trusted one, or friend, or guardian.

As far as I know, Wali is a guardian. For example, parents are children's Walis and according to Islam, girl/boy cannot marry without Wali's consent. That's just one example that crosses my mind right now.

Answer 2

You should base your decision on what you feel is True, not the words of another.

Azra has already given you the Wikipedia meanings of both words.

However, the term maulana is mostly used for ulemas and scholars, in the way we Christians usually call the Priest "Father".

Wali, which also is like "Father" is used more rarely, usually for someone who's well respected.

Again, I'd say follow your heart.

Peace.

Answer 3

No body's personal sayings may effect the laws of Sharia,
If any one either he is a maulana, wali or not, says as per Sharia, (as per qura'n and Sunnah), should be based ones decision.
Actually they are knowledge able people, most of the time if unbiased, they say the truth. But it must be re-confirmed.
Mufti is a person who is qualified enough to be trusted.

Answer 4

Maulana is used as a title, mostly in the Indian subcontinent, preceding the name of a respected Muslim religious leader, in particular graduates of religious institutions, e.g. a madrassa or a darul uloom, or scholars who have studied under other Islamic scholars.

A wali can mean a master,owner/guardian n in some terms ppl who hve close relations wid Allah.

well u cud i guess if he doesnt contradict the quran n sunnah.

Answer 5

you must got the idea about both words
in your case matter is referred to a maulana the religious head for his decision wehther he can marry a hindu girl with out her changing the religion
wali does not applies to you as boy is muslim
very frankly their verdict is going to be like that
yes he can maary a hindu girl if she converts to be a muslim otherwise no
it is quite surprising that only boys relative.family is creating hurdles and not youre family /community
i salute to your family on this

wail, wale, or whale? Do not confuse the spelling of wail, wale, and whale, which sound similar. Wail is a noun or verb denoting a long loud high-pitched sound, as in the wail of a siren, wailing children. The word wale, which is less frequently encountered in general usage, denotes a raised mark on the skin caused by a blow or a ridge (for example, on fabric). A whale is a large ocean mammal or something similarly impressive, as in having a whale of a time.

What is the relation of Maulana and Wail in religion and spirituality? You got the wrong section to place.
