When Hussein claimed that he had visited Pakistan in 1981, he said that he also visited Hyderabad India. Why Hyderabad?
This is where Meher Baba, a Zoroastrian (religion associated with Iran and Sufi Islam) attempted to become God. Pilgrims still visit these places.

Pak Subuh, who is likely Hussein's father had Sufi connections. Iran is the heart of Sufism which many Muslims consider to be a form of Islam. Subud did spread to Iran as well.
There seems to be a chain in the teachings of Ouspensky and Gurdjieff to Frithjof Schuon and John G. Bennett on to Meher Baba and Pak Subuh.
