Pir?

Re: Pir?

@Sharaabi

Another thing that is really messed up is that in Sufism, the Pir(teacher) - Mureed(student) relationship is way too formal and the obedience levels observed by the mureeds are way to high, than in a conventional student-teacher relationship.

In Sufism you aren’t allowed to question the Pir. You just have to follow and do as he says, no matter what. He knows what you dont know. This is wrong. Such levels of respect and obedience were reserved for one person only, and he is was the Rasool Allah (sas). As we say about him:

Same’na wa Ata’na
We hear and we obey.

good point…ive heard about this as well.
