övliyalar (venerated holy figures, often linked to shrines and ziyarat pilgrimage in Azerbaijani folk religion)

Saints

Müqəddəslər = all believers corporately, set apart in Christ. Övliyalar carries strong associations with venerated holy figures whose tombs (pirs, ocaqlar) receive pilgrimage visits in Azerbaijani folk Islam; this is a specially graced elite category, not the ordinary corporate sainthood of Romans 1:7.
