Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI
The great Mujatahid Imams have said that even if a man becomes the best religious scholar he is still obliged to take the oath of allegiance to a Spiritual guide because there is no way without it.We find great personalities such as Hazrath Ahmed Ibn Hambal Radi Allahu anhu (Hambali madhab)who was the most superior scholar of his age and was at a high degree of knowledge and Ijthihad,became the disciple of Hazrath Bishr Hafi Radi Allahu anhu
When He was asked as to why He had kept the company of Hazrath Bishr Hafi Radi Allahu anhu ,He answered"He knows Allah better that I do."
Another example is Imam-e-Azam Hazrath Imam Abu Hanifa Radi Allahu anhu (Hanafi Madhab) He gave up the work of Ijthihad in his latter years and became the disciple of Hazrath Jaffar Sadiq alayhis 'salam
When he was asked why he had done so,He replied"Nu'man would have perished if it were not for those two years of his company."
Imam Shafi'ee Radi Allahu anhu (Shafi Madhab) used to sit near Hazrath Sha'ban Ray Radi Allahu anhu and consult him on many matters.The people asked the great Imam"You are so learned,why do you seek advice from a bedouin?"He replied,"This man has learnt what we have not learnt."
As we can see these very great Imams of the Ummah who had high grades in knowledge and worship,humbled themselves in the presence of the Grand Masters in Tasawwuf to attain the secret ILM.These Imams clung and joined the service of the Mashaa'ikh and became great Sufis themselves.
This shows that salvation and spiritual success depends totally on one becoming a disciple or mureed of a perfect spiritual master or Pir-o-Murshid.
As Maulana Rumi Radi Allahu anhu Said :
Maulvi hargis na shud Maula e Rum
Ta ghulame Shams Tabrizi na shud
Maulana (religious teacher) Rumi could never have become Maula Rumi (Spiritual Guide)
Without submitting to Spiritual Guide Shams Tabrez
Yaa Pir Al-Madad
