==Beliefs and views== [[Image:Possible (11).jpg|upright|thumb|right|Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi and Younus AlGohar at an event held in USA, 1999]] AlGohar considers himself a "devout servant" of Shahi who practices "The Religion of God", which AlGohar says Shahi has introduced to humanity. According to AlGohar, he believes in all the [[Prophet]]s, the [[Apostle (Islam)|Messengers]] and the [[saints]] regardless of their religion. He asserts that he does not reject or hate any religion but believes that the spiritual system in all religions, which helped humanity find God, has diminished due to modifications in the religions.<ref name="croydon"/><ref name="dantv"/><ref name="structureofmfiunhcr"> {{Citation | title= Structure and objective of the Mehdi Foundation and the perception of this movement in Pakistan | date = 5 December 2008 | url= http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/pdfid/49997ae7d.pdf | access-date =11 October 2009}} </ref><ref> {{cite web | title = Do you await a Messianic personality? | url = http://rariazgoharshahi.blogspot.com/2008/11/do-you-await-messianic-personality.html |date= 17 November 2008 | access-date =11 October 2009}} </ref> According to him, his goals include preaching spirituality irrespective of religious or cultural boundaries, revolutionising humanity by reviving spiritual insight,<ref name="SL2012"/><ref name="AsiaToday"/> establishing inner and outer peace, eliminating hatred from society, enlightening hearts with divine energy,<ref name="AsiaToday"/> and heralding the second coming of [[Jesus Christ]] and Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi.<ref name="interviewwithleader"/> He has openly challenged [[Islamic Scholars]] to have "a healthy debate on this topic should it arise a theological reservation among the minds of petty scholars."
