| Q: | I have a family. What will happen to my family and me after I join an Order? Will I have to leave them? |
| Ans.: | You have no need to leave them. Live together as the Moon, the stars, the Sun and the other planets live in the universe. There are several divisions of a day (pehar) and the sufis lead their life in a similar manner. They live a balanced life. |
| Q: | Will my family also have to join the Order? |
| Ans.: | There is no need for them to join. Every one has freedom. It is a practical path. Even a Sufi carries his own cross for death. |
| Q: | Can I as a Muslim approach a non-Muslim healer or Guru for healing or help? How can I judge whether he is a correct person or not? |
| Ans.: | It is not a matter of religion or of spirituality (ruhaaniyat) but a matter of faith. Every where there are good and bad people. Wherever there is a talk of money or there are expectations, you can take it that there is something wrong. |
| Q: | Should sufis refrain from alcohol, tobacco and other intoxicants? |
| Ans.: | Actually Chishti order is based on the love of the Holy Prophet Mohammed & the sufis believe that the intoxication of love is more powerful than that of alcohol or tobacco. |

| Q: | What is Muttah & how is this viewed in the Sufi path? |
