Darul Uloom Haqqania cleric: Hundreds protest against Maulana Naseeb’s murder

Why must one have a pir,tariqah,sheikh to speak to gain knowledge ? reminds me of the shia.

You can study under a teacher like in Tajweed ( Quran),Fiqh,Hadith.But he does not control or rule over you,you even can disagree with him in areas of Fiqh-

I don't have a proper answer to this as I am not a Sufi nor follow a pir and Tariqah.

I guess a Tariqah is similar to having a madhab in matters of Sharia. Ofcourse there are several types of knowledge. To learn physics you have to go to a physics teacher, to learn tassawuf and attain spiritual knowledge you go to a pir or sheikh.

I am only guessing but this might be one of the reasons. I also don't like their secretive nature but maybe there is some wisdom behind it. I am only looking into it recently and hopefully be more knowledgeable in the future.

who told you this ?

so if there is no pir,you can't attain spirtual knowledge... ?

During the soviet era,a socalled pir asked a pashtun in saudi arabia,take me as pir ( take allegiance),the pashtun said,sorry man i have already a pir,the pir said : who ?
the pashtun said : Gulbuddin and Jalaludin they both are our pir's lol.

asSalamu `alaykum,

This is the most lucid series I have come across on the topic of tasawwuf. I have personally benefited tremendously along with everyone who I have ever introduced it to. Albeit a bit long, they are essential in understanding this science of purification and insha'Allah it will answer any questions you may have, all coming from a qualified shaykh of tasawwuf, Shaykh Husain Abdus Sattar (Allah preserve him and his teachers).

No, this is Shaykh Husain Abdus Sattar (db) who is a khalifah of Hazrat Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed (db), a leading scholar of tasawwuf. Shaykh Husain resides in Chicago, USA and is a professor and surgical pathologist at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Here is a brief bio on him:
