Pir or Peer ((ペルシア語:پیر), literally "old ()") is a title for a Sufi master or spiritual guide equally used in the nath tradition. They are also referred to as a Hazrat or Shaikh, which is Arabic for Old Man. The title is often translated into English as "saint" and could be interpreted as "Elder". In Sufism a Pir's role is to guide and instruct his disciples on the Sufi path. This is often done by general lessons (called ''Suhbas'') and individual guidance. Other words that refer to a Pir include, ''Murshid'' ((アラビア語:مرشد), meaning "guide" or "teacher"), ''Sheikh'' and ''Sarkar'' (Persian word meaning Master, Lord). The title ''Peer Baba'' (पीर बाबा) is common in Hindi used to give a salutation to Sufi masters or similarly honored persons. After their death people bow their head on their tombs (dargah) (मकबरा). The path of Sufism starts when a student takes an oath of allegiance with a teacher called ''Bai'ath'' or ''Bay'ah'' (Arabic word meaning "transaction") where he swears allegiance at the hands of his Pir and repents from all his previous sins. After that, the student is called a Murid (Arabic word meaning committed one). From here, his batin (inward) journey starts. A Pir usually has authorizations to be a teacher for one (or more) Tariqahs (paths). A Tariqah may have more than one Pir at a time. A Pir is accorded that status by his Shaikh by way of ''Khilafat'' or ''Khilafah'' (Arabic word meaning succession). ''Khilafat'' is the process in which a Shaikh identifies one of his disciples as his successor (''khalifah''). A Pir can have more than one ''khalifah''. ==Notable peers== *Shaykh Syed Abdul Majid Mahboob Alkazimi AlQadiri Custodian Astana e Aliya Mahboobia Lahore * Shaykh Muhammad Hassan Haseeb ur Rehman Sahib (of the Holy Shrine of Eidgah Sharif ) http://www.eidgahsharif.org/custodians.html * Shaykh Muhammad Naqib ur Rehman Sahib (of the Holy Shrine of Eidgah Sharif ) * Naugaja Peer * Pir Syed Muhammad Channan Shah Nuri * Baba Saqib Saleem Pirani (Scotto's Leader) *Sultan Bahu Jhang Lahore Pakistan *Sultan Mohammad Najib Ur Rehman Khanqah Sarwari Qadri Lahore Pakistan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pir (Sufism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
