I am Muslims, but many questions are inflicting me.
Just Today, I went to somewhere with someone who is a Muslim. He works/sacrifices a lot to satisfy Allah and his Pir, and find extreme peace in his activities, but he believes that his Pir can marge/Fannah with Allah, which is a Shirk according to Islam.
So ultimately, he is finding peace, but his method is not ok,
I told him that if you believe that your Pir can get Fannah with Allah, then you are committing Shirk/sin, he said No, he is not wrong, because he finds peace in his prayer, but according to Islam, if you commit Shirk, you will go to hell. So I just want that if he gets peace in right way, so his sincere dedication does not go into vain.
If he would not find peace in his prayer, even after doing Shirk, he would not have practiced Islam in wrong way. So I think no one should not find peace in other way according to Islam.
