Importance of murshid

-
Ahmed-i Zerrûk said: 


"Fasting and nocturnal prayers, though voluntary, if done without conforming to the advice and instruction of the spiritual guide (Murshid) are ineffective, even if performed more frequently than what the guide advises"


Yahyâ bin Muâz stated that "Whoever attains the company (sohbetine kavuşan) of the saints is rescued from the hands of Satan"


A fully qualified guide is called a Murshid-i kâmil (perfected guide).


Saints have described that no one can actually lift the veil and reach Allah without a murshid everyone had one during the old times and was more easy to find great murshids even IT had in his life.


Saints have described him as someone who cures the heart and his spiritual authority is that he just puts his gaze on someone and that person's life changes some become Saints just by his gaze.


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."


Mujaddid Alif Thani (Imam Rabbani) said:


"Those who love their murshid more get more feyz (grace) from them."


And let me explain this through analogy it will make things easier:


Consider the spiritual journey as climbing a sheer mountain cliff. Spiritual knowledge and proximity to Allah are at the summit. While sheer muscle (personal effort/reading books) might get a person partway up, the murshid acts as an experienced mountain guide and rope system. The guide chooses the safest route, secures the rope (spiritual chain or sisila) back to the Prophet ﷺ, provides crucial aid (feyz), and prevents fatal falls (misguided actions or the deception of the ego, which is Satan's influence). Without the rope and the experienced guide, reaching the highest point is nearly impossible, and a fall is almost guaranteed.


 Imam Rabbani also said:


"Those who anger make their murshids angry or disrespect them are destined to remain astray from guideness and even if they keep doing constant dhikr that won't benefit them."

Behâeddîn Buhârî said: 


"We are the means to reach the goal. It is not possible to reach the goal without Allah's help and without a guide"

Ahmed Cezerî highlighted this regardless of one's learned knowledge, a spiritual guide is essential, stating: 


"We are not ordinary people, we are among the muftis of the time. Nevertheless, it is necessary for a mürşid-i kâmil to hold our hand (we need this)... Two eyes are blind yet he does not follow a guide. Although a blind person may perform tawaf (circumambulation) of the Kaaba without a guide, he cannot see the Black Stone (he cannot reach the goal)".

The veil cannot get off from our eyes until we get a murshid.


Khidr allowing someone to look through his ability of sight.

That man was about to go crazy when he allowed him to look through that sight because when the veil is lifted then we see the haqiqah.

Question and answer regarding something

-
 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...

Iʿlām al-muwaqqiʿīn ʿan rabb al-ʿālamīn (311)

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Qayyim (RA) said: "A large heart can contain great knowledge just as a large valley can hold a large amount of water; and a small heart can contain knowledge only in proportion to its capacity, just as a small valley holds a small amount of water. The valleys flow according to their size, and hearts receive guidance and knowledge according to their capacity. Just as when the floodwater mixes with the earth and passes over it, it carries with it chaff and foam, so too does guidance and knowledge, when mixed with the hearts, stir up the desires and doubts therein to uproot and remove them. This is like medicine which, when drunk, stirs up the humors (akhlaṭ) of the body, causing the drinker to feel discomfort for a while."

The Definition of Fiṭrah. Is Fiṭrah Islam?

-
Fiṭrah ≠ fully-formed Islamic creed. Fiṭrah = an innate disposition toward tawḥīd, recognition of a Creator, and basic moral truths. The Holy Prophet ﷺ said: “Every child is born upon the fiṭrah, but it is his parents who make him a Jew, Christian, or Magian.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) Imam Ghazali (rh) said: “Fitrah inclines toward affirmation, but without proof it may also incline toward falsehood. Thus proofs are necessary to separate truth from falsehood.” The fiṭrah gives them the innate pull toward tawḥīd. The revelation tells them how to worship properly, who Allah truly is, and what false beliefs to reject. Without revelation, fiṭrah could lead someone to vague deism, sun worship, or pantheism. That’s why the Qur’an criticizes the mushrikīn for their wrong acts man, And regarding this fitrah argument this comes in my mind: If Muslims are only upon fiṭrah, then what’s the need for Qur’an, Sunnah, and Prophets? Are Hindus and Christians also valid if they claim their fiṭrah led them to the...
