Rights of teachers and spiritual guiders (Pir)

As a teacher or a spiritual guide (Pir) imparts to his disciple education and spiritual guidance, he is just like a father. He and his children and relatives, therefore, deserve the same treatment as one’s own father and children and relatives. This is also one of the meanings of the Quranic Verse.

(I do not ask of you any return except love among the relatives 42:23). This also implies the respect and regard which the Sadat (relatives and descendants of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) deserve).
The pupils of the teacher or the disciples of the spiritual guide (Pir) should be treated as brothers in the matter of rights. They are also included in the meaning of the Quranic words (the fellow-traveller).
