Question for those fluent in Somali!!!Need help with title of my manga. What’s a good Somali word for Saint ?

[Kurobecky]

Outside of the Somali Aw, what other titles could describe a warrior saint ? In my story, Saints follow the path of xeer, perform exorcisms, and act as law enforcement for nature .
What’s Somali word would I use describing them ?
•People can also hire them to act as Nidar/xeer begti serve as mediator judges and help settle court cases.

•They’re similar to shaolin monks as theyre trained physically and spiritually.
•The power system uses baraka . It’s powered by the combination of the innate blessing from God( Waaq ), their conviction and confidence( in a similar manner to how Gladiator from X-men. A significant portion of Gladiator's powers, especially his strength, stamina, and resistance to physical injury, are affected by his level of confidence. If his confidence in himself wavers, he has been known to weaken substantially.) and manipulate their surroundings to their advantage.

Certain techniques can only be achieved through sacrifice but only themselves. It’s a form of stigmata and they endure the pain of past Saints to fuel their abilities.
@486th President You got any suggestions? I’m reading the book called Saints and Somalis by I.M Lewis.

I’m still working on it. I’ve been practicing my drawing skills because I got rusty due to me not drawing for 3 years.

Well, I wrote as Waaq originally being a Lovecraftian Outer God that was exiled by the others because they thought he was insane. While Waaq loved chaos, he had a respect for life, hope and desired to have a purpose. One day, this exiled being came across the Somalis and became enamored with them. When Islam came, Waaq found the enlightenment he needed. This was for the first time he was truly because he found a kindred spirit with Allah. Waaq received the blessing of all three sides of Abrahamic God and was the only pagan god to do so. He was the one who destroyed the Tower of Babel and mentored King Solomon .

 

[Kurobecky]

@Asli @486th President . What made Allah impressed by Waaq was 1. He didn’t claim to create man 2. His ideals were very similar to his 3. The fact that he was the only god to ask Allah for knowledge . 4. They both related to being outcasts for being different and being seen as weird cultists. ( Remember that Islam was introduced to Somalia by Arabic Muslims that were escaping persecution in the Middle East )
