His Holiness Younus AlGohar on MFI's history in Pakistan and the revolutionary message of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi.
- In 1980, Lord Ra Riaz, after vigorous spiritual retreat in Lal Bagh forest, began to raise awareness of spiritual sciences in Pakistan. The young generation in Pakistan embraced Lord Ra Riaz's call and started to practise spirituality.
- Lord Ra Riaz's message is beyond traditional Sufi doctrine. It can be called 'Sufi Plus Doctrine'. In the past, before you were initiated in spirituality, you spent 12 years in hermitage under auspicious supervision of a spiritual master. But making such efforts is impossible for people today. Lord Ra Riaz has exempted people from this process with His new doctrine. He gives people the method to purify the heart and ensures the Ego (Nafs) get purified along with it.

- He did not stop anyone from anything. He had no conditions or prerequisite for seekers of the path. The type of changes in spirituality that Lord Ra Riaz brought about - this spiritual freedom was not even given to any prophet! This proves He is the Awaited One.
- Lord Ra Riaz teaches His followers that God can make anybody from any religion a saint of God. His followers have respect for all. The hearts trained by Lord Ra Riaz can never have intolerance or hatred.
- His door is open to the LGBT community, to those who commit adultery, alcoholics, etc. Faith has to do with the soul, not the body. The message of love is for all regardless of whether or not they follow a religion or believe in God.
- As Lord Ra Riaz's message gained popularity in Pakistan, sectarian elements, especially Salafis and Wahhabis, became dedicated enemies of Lord Ra Riaz and His message. They called for assassination to be carried out if Lord Ra Riaz were to go to Saudi Arabia.
