Typically, a Blessed Seat is established by the presence of a Mausoleum of a Muslim Saint and is complimented by the presence of a living Principal Blessed Guide. The purpose of a Blessed Seat is to have an environment of Islamic values in practice.
The original Blessed Seat was created by the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the ultimate source of guidance to creation. This responsibility of guidance was given to successors throughout history who were formally authorised to continue the responsibility of spiritual guidance. Today, guidance is still administered by a Principal Blessed Guide who continues this responsibility.
The role of the Principal Blessed Guide is to provide guidance to people in various matters of their lives to help them overcome their personal challenges and connect to their true purpose.
