The Question Zaid claims: Apart from having a Leader (Peshwa) and a Sheikh, counting the rosary (Tasbeeh) and reciting Salawat (Durood) or litanies (Wazifa) is equivalent to wasting one’s life. Bakr states: "I am not pledged (Bay'ah) to any person. I pray, I fast, and I accept the rulings of the Noble Shariah, the Glorious Quran, and whatever the Scholars of Religion say as the truth. However, I am not a disciple (Mureed) of any specific Peer or Faqir, though I do not consider becoming a disciple as something bad." The Conflict: According to Zaid’s statement, in this scenario, no worship of any kind performed by Bakr is accepted in the Court of the Almighty. All of Bakr’s worship is wasted because he is without a disciplehood. Greeting Bakr is deemed impermissible, he is considered expelled from the circle of Islam, and he will be resurrected with the faction of devils. In this situation, what should Bakr do? The Answer The Sheikh—meaning the Murshid (Spiritual Guide), t...

Imam Ghazali said in inhya 43 page i think: "Imagine the maqam of the one who himself has reached Allah and also take others towards Allah....
People who don't have murshid
Baba Feriduddin Genc-i Seker gives the following advice on this subject: "If a person does not have a spiritual guide to guide him (to show him the right path), he should read the books of great people (Ahl as-Sunnah scholars) and follow them." Ali ibn Maymun said: "If one cannot find a murshid then try to learn the blessed lives of the Messenger of Allah, his Companions (Eshâb), the Successors (Tâbiîn), and the great figures who follow their path from the scholars. Walk in their way."
