Wali

Walī (Arabic: ولي‎‎, plural ʾawliyāʾ أولياء), is an Arabic word whose meanings include "custodian", "protector", "helper", and "friend". It can refer to 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
