Divine Understanding and Purity


God knocks on the door once in every human being’s lifetime. If you do not respond to his call, then you should mourn your fate because God does not give a second chance. And those who have responded to his call and have begun their journey onto the ‘Straight Path’ (Rah-e-Salook/Sirat al Mustaqeem) surely know that God is most definitely merciful and forgiving. One may commit sins and engage in bad deeds, but if his heart is connected to God, despite all his past sins and the sins he may commit in the future, the Lord has forgiven him.

God does not befriend one who is impure; but every human is impure and full of hypocrisy and infidelity. How then does God make an impure man his friend? Before God accepts one as his friend, he purifies his heart. Once his heart has been purified, only then does God accept him.

God continues to forgive the sins of such a person until he becomes enlightened and the presence of the Lord therein becomes so strong that the person becomes spiritually self-sufficient and spiritually capable of permanently housing the Lord. Once the person is enlightened, his Shaoor (Spiritual Understanding) is awakened. Then the person is no longer inclined towards impurity and sins.

What exactly is impurity? There are two types of sins. Minor sins (Gunah-e-Sagheera) do not have an existence. However, major sins (Gunah-e-Kabeera) have an existence in the form of esoteric insects. Adultery, backbiting, lust, etc. are major sins and the esoteric insects of such sins crawl on the bodies of those who commit them. About 2-4 days after committing such sins, these insects begin to penetrate and absorb into the skin and enter into the bloodstream. Once they enter into the bloodstream, they compel the person to repeatedly commit that sin. For example, people say using profanity makes the tongue impure, however this is not true. Backbiting makes the tongue impure especially if it is against the Friends of God or against Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi. The insects of backbiting begin to crawl on the tongue of the person and the person is unable to refrain from backbiting; it becomes a disease. The only cure to rid the tongue and body of these esoteric insects is to eliminate this disease from the blood. This is only possible when Divine Light (Noor) enters the blood and travels to every vein within the body. But this process does not happen overnight and there is no set time-frame.

Keeping the company of a Friend of God who is under the Divine Theophanies (Tajjaliyat) is the most effective way of burning these esoteric insects and obtaining purity. When you keep the company of a Friend of God, His Merciful Glance shall burn away 7 of your major sins. The shower of Divine Light falling upon Him shall fall upon you also whilst you are in His Company. This is why Maulana Rumi said, 'One moment in the company of a Friend of God is greater than 100 years of austerity.'

If your heart is echoing with the name of the Lord, then know that you are becoming purified and God has accepted you. Eventually you shall become an enlightened conscience and automatically refrain from all types of sins. Your spiritual journey on the ‘Straight Path’ shall reach its culmination upon finding union with God.

His Holiness Younus AlGohar's Message for Pakistan


My name is Younus AlGohar and I am the CEO of Mehdi Foundation International. I would like to request the people of Pakistan to avail this opportunity to change the fate of Pakistan in these elections. We have the record of all the politicians in Pakistan and we have tested them all. Whether it is the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) or Muslim League they are all those who have looted Pakistan and have raised various slogans showing people flourishing gardens.

At this time the stability and survival of Pakistan is dependent upon a brave and honest person such as Imran Khan. The Pakistani Nation should at least give Imran Khan a chance. I personally believe that he loves Pakistan and he is sincere with Pakistan and currently there are very few people who are truly honest with Pakistan

In these elections, vote for Imran Khan’s party which consists of the youth and educated people. Imran Khan himself has been educated from Oxford University and he knows the nature of the Western World and worldly matters. He is brave and fearless and we have seen his record when he won the Cricket World Cup in 1992. He led the Pakistani Cricket Team and he inspired a fighting spirit within the team. He seems to have a leader hidden within him, a Quaid, who can set this sinking ship of Pakistan sailing again.
I request and recommend especially to the members of Mehdi Foundation International residing in Pakistan to vote for Imran Khan. Neither I nor is Mehdi Foundation International personally affiliated with Imran Khan or Imran Khan’s party (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf) in anyway. Based on the love of Pakistan we have in our hearts and feelings of patriotism we have concluded that Imran Khan is the best choice for Pakistan. Besides him, the other choice for Pakistan is General Pervez Musharraf but he has been put under house arrest. He is being subject to great injustice. But at the moment the only hope is Imran Khan.

Therefore, out of love for your country, I request you to go out on the 11th of May and vote for Imran Khan. At least give him a chance to flourish as the Quaid of Pakistan. Let me tell you that Imran Khan would come as a great Quaid on the world map and the world shall see a great change in Pakistan with him becoming the Prime Minister.

His Holiness Younus AlGohar supports Imran Khan


His Holiness Younus AlGohar supports Imran Khan for the upcoming elections in Pakistan. Imran Khan is the most honest, well-educated, and practical candidate standing in this year's elections. I too support him, because he is also the only candidate that I would not be embarrassed to see representing Pakistan to the rest of the world. He is diplomatic, and the educated in Pakistan and abroad all seem to support him. Plus, we have tried and tested every other candidate; now it's time to give him a chance!
