Ideology and beliefs
Najeeb Sultan's ideology revolves around Wahdat al-wujud (literally means the unity of creation). He claims for introduction of new dimensions in Wahdat al-wujud ideology. He defines Sufism as "a science whose objective is the reparation of the heart and turning it away from all else but God". He arrogates of purification of one’s inner self from filth, and beautify it with a variety of praiseworthy traits. His followers credit him for elaboration and implementation of the ideology of Sultan Bahoo to sanctify the soul through the process of his tawaju (immersion).
Najeeb Sultan Bahu is impressed by the intellections of Mansur Al-Hallaj, Abu Bakr Shibli and other saints of similar thoughts. Equal regard of distinct religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism, Buddhism and adequate respect to their paragons including Jesus Christ, Rama, Vishnu, Guru Nanak Dev, Kabir etc. makes Najeeb Sultan evenly beloved and respectable among all religions and faiths. In his speeches and preachings he emphasizes on unity of creation.
He hero-worships Ahl al-Bayt. Despite different view points of distinct Muslim groups, entire Muslim community asserts Ahl al-Bayt.
Contributions to Islam
Following the footsteps of Sufi saints, Najeeb Sultan has converted many non Muslims. Thousands of people have embraced Islam on the hands of Najeeb Sultan. Many of them decided to change their religion after seeing his face or picture.
He stresses the liberal and concordant face of Islam, which he claims is real Islam. According to his ideology, the philosophy of Wahdat-ul-Wujood is no longer in use ever since Sultan Bahoo introduced Wahdat al Maqsuud. He interprets Wahdat al Maqsuud and follows this Sufi philosophy.
