Sultan Bahoo has neither called his teachings mysticism nor spirituality rather he titled them Faqr.
Faqr is an Arabic word and is commonly known among the masses as poverty, destitution and hard times. It literally means indigence but Mystics describe it as that purpose of a person’s life about which the Prophet said:
Faqr is my pride and Faqr is from me.
Faqr is that spiritual level at which a man becomes indifferent to all kinds of needs to only keep in view Allah’s will, which is why in every condition he maintains conformity with the foreordainment. He neither asks for anything from Allah but His proximity nor does he desire or need anything except Allah. Such a person considers it a sin to interfere in His will hence submits and only seeks proximity and presence in His court.
Sultan ul Ashiqeen Quotes about Faqr are given below:
- Faqr is the path of gnosis of Allah and Divine vision, if someone truly understands it.
- Faqr is a remarkable inward rank and marvel. There is nothing comparable to it in the esoteric world
- Prophet Mohammad is the actual and main source of Faqr till the doomsday. He is the ultimate authority, without his approval and permission Faqr cannot be granted to anyone.
