In some Muslim countries, some scholars suddenly declare that they have become peers. The public in general then believe that the peer is dear and near to Allah and he is able to do any good or harm for his disciples by exerting his influence on Allah. Many even believe that a peer's pleasure means Allah's pleasure. So they go to such peer named satanic scholars and pay them money to buy Allah's grace and favour through him.

Therefore all the peers are great satans, who trade in shirk.
