[amp_mcq option1=”The Supreme God” option2=”The Guru of the Sufis” option3=”The greatest of all Sufi saints” option4=”The orthodox teacher who contests the Sufi beliefs” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: B. The Guru of the Sufis.<\/p>\n
A pir is a Sufi spiritual guide or master. The word pir comes from the Persian word for “old man” or “elder”. Pirs are often revered as saints and are believed to have special powers. They are consulted on a variety of matters, including spiritual guidance, personal problems, and business decisions.<\/p>\n
Pirs typically have a long history of spiritual training and experience. They are often initiated into Sufism by a previous pir and then spend many years in training and apprenticeship. Once they are considered to be ready, they may begin to take on their own disciples.<\/p>\n
The relationship between a pir and their disciple is one of great importance. The disciple is expected to obey and respect their pir, and the pir is expected to provide guidance and support. The relationship is often lifelong, and the pir may be consulted by their disciple on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
Pirs play an important role in the Sufi tradition. They provide spiritual guidance and support to their disciples, and they help to preserve and transmit the Sufi teachings.<\/p>\n
