In his perspective, a Sufi Master is not necessary to perform obligatory five time prayers, to keep fast, Pilgrimage, Jakath or even Dhikir. However, is essential to know those which; I know not, to watch that which; haven’t seen yet and to realize which; is out of one’s realization.

The creator Allah created human existence (Ojud) by saturating both the physical embodiment (Nofs) and the Sprit (Ruh) simultaneously. The form and reformation of Nofs depends upon the Ruh and the Ruh depends upon the Everlasting Ultimate Mono Existence of Allah. Allah is the primordial and ultimate origin of existence of the cosmic universe. In this perceptual point of view, Hajrath Moulana Sayed Jafar Sadek Shah (May, Allah accept his endeavourer) narrates the theory of Ultimate Relativity as bellow:
He says, thus the cosmological process, we are reformed belonging to the everlasting ultimate mono existence of Allah. In fact, verily we have to return unto our own origin; the primordial existence; Allah. That can be succeeded only through the Mohammadi Livelihood. It is the righteous straight path (Siratwal-mustakim).
May, Allah bestow us the enclosing success upon thy holy everlasting existence (Khatema bil-khair).
