When Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was

Eighteen years old he asked his mother to send him

Baghdad to become a student in the great capital

city of Baghdad. In those days, people used to travel

either by foot or by camel but in groups for the sake

of safety and the roads passed through dense jungles

and forests. There was always a danger of travelers

being robbed and killed. Knowing all this, she still

supported his request. She took the forty dinars and

sewed them under the arm of his coat. She gave him

the following advice, “O my beloved son, let this

advice which I am about to give you be an

important part of your life. Always speak the truth

and do not even think of lies.” Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (RA) promised to follow this advice and then

bid farewell to his blessed mother.

He then joined a caravan which was on its way to

Baghdad. However, their journey took them into a

vast forest where they were attacked by sixty

robbers. The leader of this band was Ahmed

Badawi. The travelers did not have the means to

defend themselves against the robbers and were

forced to surrender their belongings and valuables to

them. While all this was happening, Shaykh Abdul

QadirJilani (RA) was standing very calmly amongst

Humanity loves Awliya-e-kiram because they

are friends of Allah Taala. Almighty Allah told in

his verses about Awliya-e-kiram that,

“Beware! Verily, the friends of Allah

will not have any fear, nor will they

grieve--(They) are the people who

believe and (always) remain God-

fearing, committed to piety---There is

for them the good news (of honour

and recognition) in the life of the

world, and (also of forgiveness and

intercession) in the Hereafter. (Or

there are blessed spiritual visions in

the world in the form of pious

dreams, And in the Hereafter in

the shape of effulgent disclosures of

Allah’s Absolute Beauty and Sight.)

The Commands of Allah never

change. That is the colossal

achievement.”

(Surah younus verse 62-64 Irfan ul Quran)

10

Almighty Allah sends his friends in every

period of time to guide us but Fifth Century is the

most important because during this Century,

Descendant of Huzoor salal lahu Alyhi wa sallam and

Syed-ul-Awliya Syedna Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani

(RA) had arrived .The birth of Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (RA) was a great blessing to the Ummah. It was

the arrival of Sultan-ul-Awliya [king of awliya] which

had been foretold for centuries before his birth.

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was born on 29th of

Shabaan (470 H) in a town of Iran.

His complete name is Al-Syed Mohiuddin

Abu Muhammad Abdul Qadir al-Jilani al-Hasani

wal-Hussaini(RA). His father, Syed Abu Saleh

Moosa al-Hasani(RA) was a direct descendant of

the Syedna Imam Hasan(RA). He was an

acknowledged saint of his day and was popularly

known “as Jangi Dost, because of his love for Jihad"

Jangi dost thereby being his sobriquet. His mother

Syeedatina Ummul Khair Amatul Jabbar Fatima

(RA) daughter of Syed Abdullah Somae az-

Zaid(RA) a descendant of Syedna Imam

Hussain(RA).

He is descendant of the Holy Prophet Salal

lahu Alyhi waSallam from both of his mother’s and

23

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) about himself. He

explained to the person that he was from Jilan and

that he was in Baghdad to attain knowledge. The

person then said that he was also from Jilan and

asked if he knew a person by the name of Abdul

Qadir. Shaykh Abdul QadirJilani (RA) answered by

saying,

“My name is Abdul Qadir Jilani.” When the man

heard this, with tears in his eyes, he stood before

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) and said, “Please

forgive me for I have misused that which was given

to me in trust. I met an old woman, who gave me

eight dirham’s in trust that I should give it to her

son, Shaykh Abdul Qadir , who is studying in

Baghdad. The food that I was eating was from the

eight dirham’s that your mother had given for you. I

had been searching for you but could not find you

and due to this, my stay in Baghdad was extended.

This caused my money to run out and out of

extreme hunger I used some of your money to

purchase this food that we ate. It is not I that fed

you, but it is you that fed me. Please forgive me for

abusing that which was given to me in trust.”

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) with great

gentleness and affection held the stranger to his

22

( Tabqaat ul kubra V.1 Pg178)

After adjourning from classes, he used to

go into the jungles and forests of Baghdad where he

used to spend the entire night in the Zikr of

Almighty Allah. He did this regardless of the

weather conditions or seasons. While he was

studying, the city of Baghdad experienced a severe

drought. The conditions in Baghdad became so

desperate that people became dependant on every

grain that they could find. When there was no more

grain, people began to eat plants and leaves from

trees. During this time, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani

(RA) also went out in search of food. But when he

saw others in search of food, he would return to the

city empty-handed, as he did not feel it appropriate

to impose by disturbing others whom he thought

needed food more than he was. Many days passed

by without eating. And One day he sat in a Masjid.

Then he saw a person enter the Masjid. The person

sat in one corner and opened a parcel then began to

eat. The person invited and offered Shaykh Abdul

Qadir Jilani (RA) some food. He kindly declined,

but the person kept insisting. Upon such insistence,

Shaykh Abdul Qadir jilani (RA) joined him in his

meals. While eating, the person asked Shaykh

11

father’s side. He is Hassani from his father and

Hussaini from his mother.

Baghdad, the hub of political, commercial and

cultural activities, and the center of religious

learning in the world of Islam. There was always

danger for travelers of being robbed and killed.

Knowing all this, she still granted his request. She

took the forty dinars and sewed them under the arm

of his coat. She gave him the following advice, “O

my beloved son, let this advice which I am about to

give you be an important part of your life. Always

speak the truth and do not even think of lying.”

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) promised to follow

this advice and then bid farewell to his blessed

mother. He reached Baghdad in [488H] and took

admission in Madrasa-e-Nizamia. He faced many

extreme hardships during his studies and he said,

“When the hardships and difficulties

would become unbearable, then I

would lie on the floor and continuously

recite the verse from the Holy Quran.

Undoubtedly there is ease with

hardship [Surah 94, Verse.5-6].”With

the continuous recitation of this

verse I used to find great tranquility

and peace.”

explained this incident to his mother. He then

into a Madrasah in Jilan. He remained in this

Madrasah until the age of ten and during this period

an amazing event occurred. Whenever Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) would enter the Madrasah

he would see angels walking ahead of him saying,

“Give way to the friend of Allah

give way to the friend of Allah.”

By the above Quotation we can estimate about the

magnificence of his teachers for whom angles are

making the way.

HIS Teachers:

Shaykh Abul Wafa Ali Bin Aqeel Hambali.

Shaykh Abul Khatab Mehfuz Hambali.

Shaykh Abul Hussain Muhammed Bin Khaji.

Shaykh Abi Sayeed Mubarak Bin Ali

Al Maqzoomi Hambali.

When Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was born he

had the impression of the footprint of Rasoolallah

Salal lahu Alyhi waSallam on his shoulder. And

during the entire month of Ramazan he never drank

milk after the time of Sehri and before the time of

Iftaar i.e. he kept fast from the day he was born. His

blessed mother says that he would never cry for

milk the entire day and would only take milk at the

time of Iftaar.

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was not like other

children who used to spent their time in playing.

From a tender age, he spent his time in the

remembrance of Almighty Allah. If he at any time

intended to join the other children, then from the

unseen a voice would be heard saying,

“Come towards Me O’ blessed one.”

At first, on hearing this voice, he would

become afraid and go to his mother and sit on her

lap. But with the passage of time, he became

accustomed to this voice, and instead of going to his

mother, he would abandon the thought of playing

and occupy himself in the remembrance of Allah.

When Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was

four and a half years old, his mother enrolled him

Incidents before the Birth

As usual before of the sun it gives some rays

which are the message of illumination. In the same

manner, before rising of the sun of wilayat to

illuminate the world there happen some astonishing

incidents. One of the incidents related to the birth

of Shaykh Abdul QadirJilani (RA). Written by

Moulana Hafez Shah Muhammed Anwar

Khalander[RA]

“Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was

blessed to his mother at an age when

women are usually unable to have

children but Syeedatina Ummul Khair

Amatul Jabbar Fatima (RA) was sixty

years old when Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani(RA) was born”

(Durrul- Munazam pg13)

16

One more quotation from Futuhat-e-Makkiya

“Before the birth when Shaykh Abdul

Qadir Jilani (RA) was in the womb of

his mother, whenever she said

“Alhmdu lillah” he used to give

answer “ya rahama kumullah” to his

mother ”

(Futuhat-e-Makkiya)

Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi [RA] said during one

of his sermons on Friday “His foot is on my neck”

Upon inquiry by his listeners as to an explanation

for this statement, Hazrat Junaid said.

“It was shown to me through Kashf

[opening] that the later part of the 5th

Century Hijri will witness the birth of a

great Saint and Wali of Allah the

Almighty whose name will be Abdul

Qadir and who will be praised as

Mohiuddin. His birthplace will be Jilan

and resting place will be Baghdad and

he will say “My foot is on the neck of

every wali”Upon witnessing his

17

greatness, I surrendered my neck and

said the words that you heard”

(Urdu monthly shehbaz pg33)

Hazrat syed Abu Saleh Moosa [RA] Father of

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) had a dream in

which he saw our Beloved Prophet Salal lahu Alyhi

waSallam who said to him,

“O Abu Saleh Almighty Allah has

blessed you with a pious son. He is my

beloved and the beloved of Almighty

Allah and he is the most exalted

amongst the Awliya and Aqtaab.”

the travelers. Regarding him as just a young boy,

none of the robbers approached him, until one of

them decided to do so. He went up to Shaykh Abdul

Qadir Jilani (RA) and asked if he had anything

valuable. He replied by saying that he had in his

possession forty dinars. On hearing this, the robber

laughed and walked away, thinking that he was

lying. After some time another of the robbers asked

him the same question and received the same

answer. He too dismissed this statement of Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) as a joke. When the robbers

had gathered, then both these robbers began to joke

about the young boy who thought he had forty

dinars. On hearing their discussion, their leader

Ahmed Badawi asked them to bring this boy to him.

When they brought him before Ahmed Badawi he

asked whether he had any valuables in his

possession, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) replied

in the same way as before. When Ahmed Badawi

heard this, he asked for the forty dinars. Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) calmly showed him where

the dinars were hidden. On tearing open the coat of

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA), they found that

there were really forty dinars sewn under the arm of

the coat. On seeing this, Ahmed Badawi asked, “O

young man, none of us knew that you had any

34

money. Knowing we are bandits, why did you still

tell us where the money was hidden?” The young

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) replied by saying,

“When I had left on this journey, I had promised my

elderly and pious mother that I would never lie.

How then could I break this promise just for the

sake of forty dinars?”

On hearing this, Ahmed Badawi felt extreme

remorse and in tears he said,

“O young boy, you are so loyal in your

promise to your mother, shame on me, that for years

I have been disloyal to my promise with my Creator

Almighty Allah.” After saying these words, the

bandit cried bitterly and then fell to the feet of

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) and repented for

his sins. When his accomplices saw this, then they

too did likewise and repented sincerely from all

their sins. They then returned all the belongings of

the travelers and escorted them out of the jungle. It

has been stated that the repentance of these bandits

was so sincere, that they were blessed with

Wilaayat, through the means (Sadqa) of Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA)

His son Shaykh Ziauddin(RA) states that Once

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was in the wild

deserts and was without food and drink for several

days. Soon a light appeared on the horizon and a

voice said, approve of all your prayer and hardship

and vigils that you have taken for my sake. I am

Allah and reward you by making all unlawful things

lawful for you. On hearing this Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (RA) recited, (Aauzu billahi minashaitan

nirrajeem) At this the light disappeared, again a

voice was heard saying, O Abdul Qadir Jilani, your

knowledge and scholarly excellence has saved you.

I have deceived at least 70 saints through this

method. Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) replied

that he had been saved by the Grace of Allah. When

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was asked how he

could recognize the Satan so easily, he informed

that making unlawful things lawful was inconsistent

with the Shariat and wrong could not have been

from Allah. Also when Haraam things were not

allowed to Allah’s Messenger Sallallahu Alayhi wa

Sallam then how could it be allowed to any other

person. It was his deep concentration and

unshakable faith in Allah and the love for Allah and

Allah’s Messenger that he became close to Allah

and came to be known as “Mehboob-e-Subhani”

36

Allah accepted his prayers and fulfilled his request

and when he prayed for others Allah showered His

blessings on them.

(Behjatul asrar Pg.120)

3)

When Shaykh Shahabudin Suharwardy was young,

he was interested only in philosophy and inclined

towards kalam. His uncle brought him to Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) who put his hand on his

chest and prayed to Allah. By the grace of Allah

Shaykh Shahabuddin Suharwardy forgot all about it

and lost interest in those subjects. His heart was

filled with the love of Allah and Marifat-e-ilahi.

Shaykh Abdul Qadir jilani (RA) predicted that

Shaykh Shahabuddin Suharwardy would, after him,

become very famous and respected. Later Shaykh

Shahabuddin Suharwardy became a great saint of

Suharwardy.

After hearing their sad tale he accompanied them to

water, prayed to Allah and said, "O Dajla, stop by

Allah’s Command and go back on your way." The

Shaykh Abul Muzzafer Ismail said, Once, Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) went to visit his ailing

devotee Shaykh Ali bin Al Haiti, who was staying

in my orchard Later Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani

(RA) saw two withering date trees which are not

giving fruits since four years and he called for

water and performed ablution under one tree and

prayed under the other. After Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (RA) departed the date trees in one week they

regained strength and flourished.

Shaykh Abul Hasan Qarshi had told about the

great blessing to the sick and the needy that a

38

trader invited Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) to

dine at his house. Although he did not disclose his

intention to Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) his

main purpose was to gain blessings for his paralytic

blind son. Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA)

accepted his invitation with some hesitation. When

he reached the house of his host, many honoured

guests were already present Shaykh Abdul

QadirJilani (RA) also joined them and when the

host began to serve food he asked the host to bring

his ailing son before him. The surprised host

brought forth his son in front of Shaykh Abdul

Qadir Jilani (RA) who placed his hand on his chest

and said, “Get cured by the Command of Allah". By

the grace of Allah and the blessings of Shaykh

Abdul Qadir jilani (RA) the boy was cured of his

disease Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) then left

without eating as the real mission was achieved.

this concise life of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani(RA)

in English language with reference and attempt to

bring this authentic book in front of all the

followers.

The first part of this book contains birth and

incident before birth of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani

my small attempt and hope that the followers and

lovers of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani(RA) will like it

and give their blessing to me.

39

“I collect people for your sake and

you are bent on scattering them”.

These words were so effective that the rain stopped

falling on the school but it continued to rain at a

distance. . .

Abu Sayeed Abdullah bin Ahmed states that

once my daughter, Fatima, all of a sudden vanished

from the roof of my house. I got worried and want

to the blessed presence of Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (RA) and requested for help. He told me to go

to Karkh, and during the night sit in a deserted place

forming a fort (Hisar) around myself. Over there

think about me and say:” Bismillah” During the

darkness of night groups of Jinns will pass by you,

their faces will be very strange, do not get scared by

looking at them, at the time of sehri the king of jinns

will come to you and will ask you about your

requirement. Tell him, “Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani(RA) has sent me from Baghdad my

requirement is that you search my daughter.”

Hence, I went to the ruins of Karkh and followed

the instructions of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA)

40

the silence of night, horrifying Jinns kept on passing

outside my hisar. The faces of the Jinns were so

horrifying that I could not look at them. At the time

of sehri, the king of jinns came on a horse back,

there were Jinns surrounding him. He asked my

demand from outside the hisar. I told him that

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA)has sent me to you.

As soon as he heard this, he got down the horse and

sat on the ground. The other Jinns too sat outside the

hisar. I narrated the incident of the disappearance of

my daughter. He announced amongst all the Jinns,

“Who has taken the girl?” Within moments the

Jinns caught a Chinese Jinn and presented him as

the culprit. The King of the Jinns asked him why did

you pick the girl up from the city of the Highest

Cadre in Spiritual Pivot (Qutub) of the time? He

said, by shivering, Your Highness! After looking at

her I fell in love with her. The King ordered the

Chinese Jinn to be beheaded and returned my

wonderful daughter to me. I thanked the King of the

Jinns and said, as Allah will! You are an ardent

lover of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA). He then

replied, I swear upon Allah when Shaykh Abdul

Qadir Jilani (RA) looks towards us, all the jinns

start trembling. when he nominates as qutub of time

57

CONCLUSION

Many Books and Articles have been written

on the life of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) in

many Languages such as in Urdu, Arabic, Persian,

English, Turkish etc. And translations of books of

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) in different

languages are also available, after looking at

English translations I found that translators are

inserting their own words as the part of the book.

56

others etc, would come to naught!

49 Defeat your desire with the dagger of Tawheed,

securing it from disease with therapeutic of

Tawfeeq, and arm it with the Javelin of sacrifice,

the Shield of Piety and the Sword of faith. Now, use

the sword and javelin continuously until such time

that your lower desires are completely annihilate

50 Thankfulness to Almighty Allah means that you

do not disobey Allah by misusing His gracious

favors

41

then all the jinns and humans are ordered to follow

him.

(Bahjaa-tul-AsraarPg.210-211)

Shaykh Abul Muzzafar Mansoor, son of Al Mubarak

narrates while I was still a young man, I entered the

presence of Shaykh Abdul-Qadir Jilani (RA) together

with a large group. I had with me a book that dealt

with questions of abstract philosophy [falsafa] and the

speculative sciences of spirituality ['ulum ar-

ruhaniyyat]. As soon as we entered his presence, the

Shaykh spoke to me personally, not to the group as a

whole-and before he had examined the book, or asked

me about its contents, he said: “That book of yours is

a bad companion. You had better go and give it a

thorough wash” I reacted to this by deciding to leave

his presence, drop the book into some receptacle or

other, and then refrain from carrying it with me after

that, for fear of offending the Shaykh. My lower self

could not accept the idea of giving it a wash, because

I had developed quite a fondness for it, and some of

its theories and principles had stimulated my

intellectual curiosity. I was about to get up and leave,

intending to carry out this plan of action, but the

Shaykh gave me such a stare, like someone regarding

42

me with incredulous amazement, that I simply could

not get up. "I felt trapped in a state of paralysis, but

then he said to me: “Hand me that book of yours” So

I opened it, and looked there was nothing inside it but

blank paper, with not a single letter written on it! I

gave it to the Shaykh, and he thumbed through its

pages, then he said:

“This is the Book of the Excellent

Merits of the Quran [Kitab Fada'il

al-Quran], by Ibne Zaris

Muhammad.”

When he handed it back to me, I saw that it was in a

beautiful script and contained the matter as aforesaid

by Shaykh.

(Qalaidul Jawahir chap-8)

55

41. You should not become the slave of your desires.

42. The fruitful advice is that which emanates from a

tongue of practice.

43. Always try and follow the example of speech and

action set by Rasulullah Sallal lahu alyhi wasalam.

44. The path of salvation lies only in the way of

obedience and following of Rasulullah Sallal

lahu alyhi wasalam.

45. The fear of Allah is the key for success.

46. Its difficult to fight against one's own lowly desire

than the fight against the physical enemies.

47. There is no gift worth regarding as equal to

poverty, patience, and peace so in your poverty

remain rich in Allah.

48 Unlawful food obliterates the glow of Imaan when

the light of Imaan is extinguished then all the other

acts of worship like Salaah, Roza giving priority to

54

to Him, without hypocritical display and the pursuit

of fame.

38. Repentance is of two kinds: the repentance of the

general people and the repentance of the special

few: a) The repentance of the common folk is

returning from sinful disobedience to worshipful

obedience, from what is blameworthy to that which

is praiseworthy, from the Hell to the Heaven, from

the comfort of the body to the hardship of the lower

self, by means of remembrance dedicated striving

and vigorous endeavor. b) The repentance of the

special few is returning, after the achievement of

this repentance, from the virtues of the pious to the

sources of direct knowledge, from the stages of

progress to nearness, and from physical pleasures to

spiritual pleasures. That means forsaking everything

apart from Allah.

Ghuniyatuit Talibeen

39. Separate your heart from the world and place it

upon your hands, acquire the riches of the world but

let that not overpower or affect the heart: wealth can

come and go but its accumulation should not

become the supreme purpose of our lives.

40. Do not make Palace of hopes of becoming wealthy.

Method of Salaat ul Ghausiya

Salaat ul-Ghausiya also known as Salaat ul-

Asrar . Which is a proven means of obtaining

fulfillment of one’s needs and prayers Salaat al-

Asrar is explained by Imam Abdul Hassan

Nooruddin Ali Ibne Jaleel in Behjat ul-Asrar, and

Hazrat Mullah Ali Qari and Shaykh Abdul Haq

Muhaddith Dhelvi (RA) have reported from Shaykh

Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) Its method is as follows:

After completing the Farz and Sunnat of Maghrib

Namaz, offer 2 rakaats and in each rakaat after

Sureh Fateha, recite Sureh Ikhlas, 11 times then

recite Darood shareef 11 times and Then taking 11

steps in the direction of Iraq call out my 11 names

44

(yaazda pak) on each step and ask for the

fulfillment of a need.

Books

Whenever Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani(RA) used to

give Sermon about four-hundred well-informed

(Ulama) were attend the Sermon with pen and paper

to note down his Saying. Thus, today we get them in

form of books. A list of books had given below.

1. Al Fatha Ar Rabbani

2. Futuhul Ghaib

3. Ghuniyatut Talibeen.

4. Basha-e-Rul Khairat.

53

33. Someone whose tongue becomes weary. It means

that he really knows Allah, he becomes incapable of

speech. The tongue of his lower self is dumb, and he

can only speak with the tongue of his heart. The

tongue of his falsehood is dumb, while the tongue of

his truthfulness is capable of speech. Dumb is the

tongue of his talking about things that are no

concern of his, while capable of speech is the

tongue of his talking about things that really do

concern him. Dumb is the tongue of his quest for his

own self-interest, while the tongue of his quest for

the Truth is capable of speech.

Sirrul Asrar

(Chapter 5, 1, 3)

34. If someone knows himself, he knows his Almighty

Allah and complies with His command.

35. The sleep of the scholar is better than the worship of

the ignorant.

36. The believer saw with their hearts

while other watchers fail to see.

They fly with featherless wings

to the Realm of Almighty Allah.

37. Allah is Single, and He loves that which is single.

That means, He loves work that is sincerely devoted

52

desert waste, and those sheep will soon be eaten by

the wolves. When someone is afraid, he travels

under the cover of night. He does not settle in one

place, but is always traveling on toward his final

destination. The journey of believer is toward the

palace of Almighty God.

29. Devotion to one's religious duty is a source of

worldly benefit, a source of wisdom and all kinds of

knowledge, of purity of heart, and the foundation of

all that is good.

30. Patience is the head of faith as the head is to the

body. It is only through patience under the decree of

Allah that deeds can be truly accomplished.

31. Greetings to everyone who recognizes the true

nature of his own lower self and then treats it as an

enemy, opposing it whenever it tries to tell him

what to do, You must subject it constantly to the

remembrance of death and of that which lies beyond

death, for then it will become submissive and its

moral character will be improved.

32. A Perceptible person does not pay attention on this

world and its glamorous charm, because it must

very soon pass away and come to an end. Thus, he

focuses his attention to the ultimate consequences.

45

Sayings of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA)

There are umpteen Sayings of Shaykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani(RA) that no one can bound them. I had taken

a few Sayings from the books.

Fatuhul Ghaib

(Chapter 7, 8, 10, 13, 17, 18, 22, 23, 37)

1. Step out of your own self and keep your distance

from it.

2. If you are in a particular condition, do not seek to

exchange it for another, whether higher or lower.

3. The self is the enemy of Allah. All things are

subordinate to Allah,

4. When you are in a state of true devotion, therefore,

you must oppose the self.

5. Prosperity will come to you if it is your lot, whether

you seek to acquire it or view it with distaste.

Misfortune will likewise overtake you if it is meant

for you by destiny's decree, whether you opposed or

confront it with patience.

46

6. If you want to make contact with Allah you should

exit from the sphere of creation, from passion and

will and desire, and become securely linked to His

action, so that no movement of yours affects His

creation unless by His decree, at His command and

through His action this is the state of annihilation.

7. Never complain to anyone about your luck, whether

he was friend or foe, and do not adverse the Allah of

making you suffers misfortune.

8. Allah is always testing His believers in proportion

to his faith. Thus, if a person's faith is very great and

steadily increasing, his trial will be great as well.

The trial of a Prophet is greater than that of a Abdal,

and the trial of a Abdal is greater than that of a

Wali. Each is tried according to his faith and

certitude.

9. You should firm with circumstances of difficulties

and protect therein, until the prescript of destiny

expires and you are promoted to a higher and finer

level. There you will be comfortably installed and

made secure, with no worldly or otherworldly

problems, no persecution are there. Then you will

progress beyond this stage to something even more

delightful and wholesome. Know that your

appointed share will not be lost to you because you

give up chasing after it similarly, you will never get

what is not your share. Be patient, therefore, and

51

26. You have not been created only for the purpose

of acquiring worldly things for nothing more than

eating and drinking and getting married. You must

repent and return to Almighty God, before the

Angel of Death comes and snatches you away while

you are doing something bad. Every good preacher

will advise you to observe the commandments and

prohibitions and to endure with patience whatever

destiny brings along. You must also endure with

patience the pain and suffering inflicted on you by

your fellow creatures, including your next-door

neighbors, for patience is the source of so much that

is good. You are all under orders to practice

patience, and you have been made responsible for

yourselves and for your flocks.

27. For the believer there can be no movement to the

rear. He is always moving to the fore. He has a front

without a back. He never ceases to behave with

honest sincerity, so that his speck of dust eventually

becomes a mountain, his drop of water an ocean,

and his tiny portion a great deal, his lamp a sun, and

his shell a kernel.

28. A heart without fear of Allah is like a piece of land

on which there are no trees, or a flock of sheep

without a shepherd. That land will soon become a

50

21. Don’t think about your sustenance because its

search for you is more intense than your search for

it.

22. Instead of Pride on your obedient worship better to

beg Almighty Allah to accept it.

23. You must keep friendship with those who do

possess hearts, until you get a heart of your own.

You need a wise Shaykh, who practices the law of

Allah to train you, teach you, and give you good

advice.

Jalal ul Khawtir (Chapter 3, 29, 38, 40, 44, 45)

24. Who busied himself in irrelevant is the distraction

of idle fools. Deprived of the good pleasure of his

Master is he who fails to put into practice what He

commands, and who occupies himself with things

he has not been instructed to deal with.

25. You must not be ominous about the fact that

destiny's decree is sure to come into effect. There is

no one who can turn it back, and there is no one

who can avert it.

47

resign yourself to accepting your present situation.

Take nothing and give nothing on your own unless

and until you are ordered to do so. Neither move nor

keep still of your own accord, otherwise you will

have to bear not just your own suffering, but that of

a creature worse than you.

10. You should not become envy with your neighbor

the blessings of his Lord and the portion allotted to

him. You should realize that this is the kind of

thing that weakens your faith "The envier is the

enemy of my blessing “Envy devours good deeds as

fire consumes wood"?

11. The self has two conditions the state of wellbeing

and the state of calamity. When it is undergoing

calamity, the signs are anxiety, complaining,

resentment, protest and suspicion toward the Lord

of Truth, and lack of patience, contentment and

compliance.

Al Fatha Ar Rabbani

(Chapter 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 22)

12. Obedient to Allah by the heart not with outward.

13. The hypocrite wears clean clothes, but his heart is

filthy. He abstains from permissible things, and is

too lazy to earn a livelihood. He eats off his

48

religion, and exercises no self-restraint at all. He

consumes things that are explicitly forbidden. His

game may be hidden from the common folk but it is

not concealed from the Eminent. His external facade

is splendidly fashioned, but his interior is a ruin.

14. A devoted person does not perform his worship of

the Almighty God in an affected manner, because it

has become quite natural to him, so he worships

Allah both outwardly and inwardly without any

affectation on his part. As for the hypocrite he is

always pretending, wherever he may be and

whatever he may be doing, especially when it comes

to the worship of the Almighty God which he fakes

on the surface and inwardly neglects.

15. You should recognize the creator, and practice

good behavior in His presence. As long as your

hearts are remote from Him, you will behave toward

Him badly, but when they draw near, your conduct

will improve.

16. Be aware of Allah and do not be ignorant of Him.

Obey Allah and do not revolt against Him. Comply

with His wishes and do not oppose Him. Accept His

decision and do not dispute with Him

17. Your wish for the Almighty God is not genuine.

You are not really wishing for Him, because when

49

someone claims to wish for the Almighty God while

he is actually seeking something other than Him,.

Seekers of this world are very numerous. Seekers of

the hereafter are comparatively few.

18. If you give priority to the hereafter over this

world, you will gain both of them together and if

you give this world priority over the hereafter, you

will lose both of them together.

19. Don’t get disappointed by the merciful God

because of any sin you have committed, but wash

away the dirt from the garment of your religion with

the water of repentance of sustained and sincere

repentance. Then perfume that garment with the

fragrance of Marifat.

20. The believer takes his subsistence, while the

unbeliever takes his pleasure. The believer takes his

subsistence because he is on a journey. He is

content to use a tiny fraction of what he owns, while

investing the greater part in the hereafter. Apart

from giving himself a traveler's allowance, based on

what he can carry, he keeps all his property in the

hereafter.
