Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Yes, it is permissible to say so, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): {Your Wali (protector and helper) is none but Allaah and [therefore] His Messenger and those who have believed….}[5:55].

Allaah further says (interpretation of the meaning): {But if you cooperate against him (the Prophet) - then indeed Allaah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous among the believers and the angels moreover, are [his] assistants.}[66:4].

Mawlaa is a common word that means: Lord, King, Mister, Benefactor, neighbour, beloved one, etc…

Allaah knows best.
