Walī (Arabic: ولي‎, plural ʾawliyāʾ أولياء), is an Arabic word meaning "custodian", "protector", "helper", etc.[1] "Wali" is someone who has "Walayah" (authority or guardianship) over somebody else. For example, in fiqh, a father is wali of his children especially for his daughters in marriage.

In Islam, the phrase ولي الله walī allāh can be used to denote one vested with the "authority of God":

Only Allah is your Wali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow. —Quran, sura 5 (Al-Ma'ida), ayah 55[2]

In English, wali most often means a Muslim saint or holy person. It should not be confused with the different word wali (والي) which is an administrative title that means magistrate[3] and is still used today in some Muslim countries, such as the Wali of Swat.
