Is it necessary for a woman to have faith?
Is it necessary for her to believe in God?
Right?
Offering salah, fasting, obtaining guidance -
- is this necessary for a woman?
So why is it unnecessary for her to find a spiritual master?
Is it Necessary for Women to Have a Spiritual Mentor?
The reason why the idea of women finding a spiritual master
has become such a fuss,
is that all the spiritual masters nowadays are salacious and lecherous phonies.
This is why people have now become weary
and question whether it is necessary for a woman to pledge allegiance [to a spiritual master].
Absolutely, if she wants God, she will have to find a spiritual master.
This goes for any woman.
Keep this in mind -
- I shall relay to you what I have heard from HDE Gohar Shahi.
The Lord said, ‘Every woman has three fathers.
First, her biological father, the one with whom she has a blood relation.
Second, her father-in-law is also her father.
And third, her spiritual master is also her father’.
The spiritual master is her spiritual father
and her biological father is the one to whom she is related by blood.
And her husband’s father is her father-in-law.
Of these three fathers, the spiritual father holds the most authority.
He revives your soul, enlightens it and takes it to God.
So the spiritual master is a father figure.
To pledge allegiance to the spiritual master is a blessing
but the only trouble is that it has to be a spiritual master,
not a devil in disguise of a spiritual master.

Both men and women require a spiritual guide.
You go to a doctor,
so do you think women don’t need doctors?
When you go to a doctor, he may hold your hand,
he may touch your neck, he may touch your back for a check-up
and you have no problem with that
because he’s a doctor
but so is the spiritual guide.
Now, since the spiritual guide is a spiritual father
and along with this, the most important point is
the secret behind the condition of ‘mahram’ and ‘not mahram’ applied by the Shariah law.
The secret behind it is the lower self.
Those whose lower selves are purified -
- obviously, only those who have struggled have purified it
otherwise, generally, everyone’s lower self is impure.
So, the religion addresses the majority.
This is why the religious law states a separation
between mahram and not mahram.
What was the reason for this?
Because there is an entity within human beings known as the lower self
which is a satanic agent
and it holds all the negative traits and vices
which can cause destruction.
However, a woman only covers herself from regular people,
she does not need to cover in front of her father,
she does not veil herself in front of her son.
She does not veil herself in front of her brother.
When she doesn’t cover herself in front of her father, son or brother
then the spiritual master in whom God resides,
whose lower self is not just purified but sitting in his company shall purify your lower self.
So why would you need to veil yourself in front of him?
Because he doesn’t have lust in his eyes,
he exudes divine energy from his eyes.
Now let’s talk about the conduct of Prophet Muhammad (s).
The Prophet (s) had dedicated one day out of the week to meet with women
and on that day only women were to be in conversation with the Prophet (s).
Muslims have now become of the habit
of pointing fingers at anyone sitting in a gathering of women
but this is a great injustice
because when you go to the Kaaba for Hajj and Umrah,
you never object to women being close to the men.
Why don’t you object then?
Why do you only object when someone is sitting among women?
Why don’t you say that the women have sat with him because he is going to take them to God with his spiritual attention
and that he is teaching them the Religion of God?
The spiritual master is like the Lord for a male disciple
and it is the same for a female disciple, the spiritual master is her Lord and a father figure.
So women also require a spiritual master
and they are also obliged to practise the doctrine of the spiritual master.
When God mentioned the momineen, he did not mention the men alone.
When God spoke about Zikr Allah, he was not addressing the men alone.
‘Wa zakireen wa zakiraat’ - both are mentioned.
This fear of sending the women of your household to someone -
- this apprehension only arises when
we are not aware whether that someone is a saint or satan
because there is an abundance of imposters.
All the terrible incidents have occurred
due to these imposters whose hearts were occupied by satan, not God.
Such people also exist among the Hindus.
There is a large number of fake Muslim pirs as well.
Satan occupies them and they use ‘Bayt’ as an excuse to grope women.
However, these are the devils.
You made a mistake in recognising them.
They are not spiritual guides, they are devils.
An accomplished spiritual guide is like the Lord.
There is no need for veils in front of the spiritual guide.
