He also believed that the spiritual wayfarer have to be the Islamic authority, because when some spiritual realms are opened up for him, he would be charged with some duties which only an Islamic authority can find out how to fulfill them properly. | Among Qadi's other methods of spiritual wayfaring towards [[Allah]] are observing on-time [[daily prayers]], observing night prayer, keeping a vigil, and repeating various [[dhikr]]s which he himself used to say all the time and also advised his students to do so, such as reciting [[Yunusiyya dhikr]] together with the [[Qur'an]] in prostration, reciting [[Sura al-Qadr]] hundred times on Thursday nights, and reciting [[Sura al-Tawhid]], [[Du'a Kumayl]], and [[Ziyarat Jami'a]] frequently.

However, it is quoted from [['Abbas Quchani]], his student, and [[Muhammad Hasan Qadi]], his son, that Qadi allowed nobody to follow some difficult instructions of this book. He loved ''[[Futuhat al-Makkiyya]]'' and ''[[Mathnawi Mulawi]]'' and believed that some mystics such as [[Rumi]] and [[Ibn 'Arabi]] were [[Shi'a]]. On the contrary, he believed that keeping some books at home, such as ''[[al-Aghani]]'' (by Abu l-Faraj al-Isfahani), would bring bad omen because of introducing singers and musicians and describing their immoral behaviors. | ||
