Something I wrote a while back.. still relevant to the ISIS debate and all that :) The saint in Islamic hagiography is someone who has literally absorbed the qualities of the beauty and rigor of the Divine being; the veils for him have being rent asunder. For him the covenant that was made on the day of the primordial cosmic event at the gathering of the souls has been actualised. He has come to the consummation of the promise that was extracted on the day when God most high reveal Himself full of glory to the souls of all of humanity from the beginning to the end. Thats the time when he is a perfect soul, and is unto humanity as a sign and exemplar of the truths embodied in the various revelations from the heavens on high.
