Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khair, although he did not formally guide anyone, attracted many groups and led them to repentance and guidance. The question that underlies this research is how and by what mechanisms such a success in guiding people by a mystic who was often in the Sufi expansion and happiness was achieved and how he could be guided without direct guidance. And what tricks did he use? What was found from the studies was that Abu Sa'id, in his method of guidance, instead of temporarily forbidding a wrong behavior, by evoking a sense of spiritual transcendence in individuals, caused a fundamental change in their personality. In this way, while having spiritual charisma, by inverting the mechanisms of guidance and using paradoxical techniques such as "guidance through leaving guidance", he causes the real selection and transformation of individuals. The purpose of this study is to identify the creative methods of Abu Saeed in invitation and guidance in a descriptive and analytical method.

Keywords: Guidance, Abu Saeed Abu al-Khair, Tolerance, Sufism
