Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman

“ The Murshid, like a shady tree, endures the severity of weathers himself and provides shade and comfort to those sitting under it. The Murshid should be against the comforts and luxuries of this world which stops the Seeker from the way to Allah, and should be a friend of Allah and His religion. While the Seeker should trust him and should not hesitate to sacrifice his wealth and life for his Murshid. The Murshid should be like a messenger of Allah and the Seeker should be like a friend of Allah. ”

“ In Tasawuf, such person is known as Murshid, Spiritual Mentor and Guide. A true Murshid is the one who knows the way to Allah perfectly and who has reached the Divine Oneness and now, is fully capable to guide the common people who do not know the way to Allah. ”

“ So the Seeker of Allah needs a Murshid together with the Zikr and Tasawur-e-Ism-e-Allah Zaat. Our Holy Prophet Sall'Allahu Alayhi Wa’alihi Wasallam said:
"Find a guide first and then set on a journey."
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Bahoo Rehmat-ul-Allah Alayh says:
"Allah is concealed in the being of man just as the actual fruit is hidden inside the peal. Only a spiritual mentor can make it possible for a devout to find spiritual presence before Allah and be blessed with His closeness and splendid sight. ”
