Wondering About 'Saints' in Our Faith?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I've noticed that in some communities, there are individuals who claim to be exceptionally pious figures, but then they might engage in some really questionable behavior. It got me thinking: does Islam actually have a concept similar to 'saints'? If it does, what are the true signs of such a righteous person, and how can we tell who's genuinely walking the straight path? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Look for humility above all. True righteousness is quiet; it doesn't need a stage or followers. May Allah guide us all to recognize sincerity.

Great question. Islam does have the concept of 'wali' or 'awliya'. But the true sign isn't showmanship, it's consistent taqwa, good character, and following the Sunnah. Be very wary of anyone claiming special status.

Anyone can act pious in public. The real test is their character in private and their adherence to the Quran and Hadith. If something feels off, it probably is.
