Sainthood and intimate guardianship (wilāya) · الولاية

Explore the relationships between concepts, located passages, secondary dictionary entries, chapter guides, and historical catalogues. Only individually located passages are described as such.

Concept

Wilāya ranges across intimacy, spiritual proximity, and forms of guardianship. Claims about rank are embedded in a religious vocabulary that should not automatically be turned into sociological fact.
