Muslim saints

Muslim saints, often referred to as "awliya" (singular: wali), are individuals who are revered for their piety, spiritual insight, and closeness to God. They are believed to possess special spiritual powers, perform miracles, and offer guidance through their life experiences. Saints can be found in various Islamic traditions, including Sufism, where they are often associated with specific orders or sects. Celebrations, shrines, and festivals may honor these figures, reflecting their influence in both spiritual and community life. While veneration of saints varies among different Muslim groups, they are regarded as models of virtuous living and divine connection.
