Auliya (awlia, aaliya, aliya) is an Arabic word usually translated as friend, helper, supporter or protector[1]. It's often used to designate the status of a saint. For example, the famous Nizamuddin Auliya became known as such after his religious contributions. One of his sayings also demonstrates the use of the word Auliya to designate saintlihood: "The love of Awlia (saints) is stronger than their reason."
