Q 4: Some (Sufi) sources keep repeating the names: Ghawth (help), Qutb (chief), `Amud (Pole), etc. The Ghawth is the highest rank of this chain, whereas the lowest rank is granted for the Qutb and the `Amud, etc. These people gather during the days of Hajj to plan for the activities of the upcoming year, Prophet Ilyas (Elias) (peace be upon him) also attends these meetings. Studies have indicated that the Jews of a town named Silmiyyah (in Iraq) founded an underground association in 70 B.C., for retrieving the occupied land taken over by the Magis, but there was no (Part No. 2; Page No. 104) mention of any of Gawth or Qutb in Islam until 800 A.H. Nevertheless, it started to be mentioned in the books since that time, we believe that Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) has created enormous numbers of Angels to implement His Commands, as we know that another four great Angels were appointed to do certain tasks. Is there anything left for Al-Gawth and Al-Qutb to do, despite that they are mortal humans?
