Identifying a true Murshid Kamil (perfect spiritual mentor) is crucial in the quest for spiritual enlightenment. A genuine Murshid imparts the sacred Ism-e-Allah Zaat (Divine Name) and guides seekers in its contemplation, illuminating their inner self with divine light. This profound connection enables seekers to perceive the essence of Allah and transcend the veil of ego.
As Sultan Bahoo notes, “A true Murshid Kamil is like a Paras stone which turns iron into gold,” emphasizing the transformative power of such a mentor.
Moreover, a true Murshid Kamil demonstrates exceptional awareness of the seeker’s inner and outer states. They possess profound knowledge of the seeker’s spiritual journey, including their thoughts, feelings, and progress. This comprehensive understanding allows the Murshid to provide tailored guidance, akin to a skilled captain steering a ship through turbulent waters. Without such a mentor, personal spiritual efforts are often ineffective, as the divine favor and guidance of a Murshid are deemed essential for achieving true spiritual enlightenment and vision of Allah.
Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman, are the Murshid Kamil Akmal of the present era.
