Natty Fat to Fit 🇬🇧 :
This is the most critical contradiction that many people notice when they study his life. There is a massive gap between what Hazrat Ghous Pak actually taught in his books and what many people do at his Darbar (shrine) today.If Ghous Pak were alive today, based on his own written words, he would be the first person to stop people from using his name in ways that compromise Tauheed (the Oneness of God).1.
