72 Sects have been made just because of the outward knowledge
His holiness Sufi Masood Ahmad Siddiqui Lasani Sarkar was addressing the TMUPI central consultative council meeting His holiness said, sectarianism has damaged Islam at a big scale. People who only have outward knowledge but they are not familiar with the inward knowledge which is why sectarianism is being spread. The public is being misled and misguidance is growing rapidly because of those who only have outward knowledge. Shaitan (devil) can easily mislead those who does not have inward and mystical knowledge therefore, 72 groups have come into existence in Islam. But our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that there would one group which would never stray. The people of this group will have inward and outward both kinds of knowledge and this group is consist of Sufi saints, Faqirs (beloved of Allah) and Awliya Allah (friends of Allah) and their followers. The convents of the Sufis are playing significant role to eradicate sectarianism and discrimination between the human. People from other religions are also getting benefits and blessings from the holy places and sacred thresholds of Awliya and Faqirs of Allah Almighty because they have direct spiritual link with Allah and Prophet (PBUH) therefore, they have control over divine powers and able to solve the problems of the mankind.
