The snake then came out of his collar and wrapped itself
around his blessed neck but our Murshid, the spiritual king of
O P
Baghdad, his honour, Shaykh Abd-ul-Qdir Jln K I< J H

neither became frightened nor discontinued his speech. The
snake then jumped onto to the ground, stood on its tail, uttered
something and went away. After the snake disappeared, people

Dear Islamic brothers! It came out that the snake was, in fact, a

tested a lot of friends of All ! " but none of them was as

6. Traps of Satan
O P
Ghau-e-Aam KI< JH
. says, Once I saw Satan sitting afar
and throwing dust onto his head. Satan then said crying, O
Abd-ul-Qdir! I am disappointed to have failed to lead you
astray. I replied, O the accursed one, shove off! I can never be
heedless of you. Satan said, This mindset of yours is the most
troublesome for me. He then revealed to me many traps and
tricks. I asked him about them, he replied that those were the
worldly traps whereby he hunts people like me. In order to be
safe from them, I kept striving for a whole year until all the
traps broke. Then lots of things appeared to me. I asked as to
what those things were, I was told that those were the things
which cause heedlessness. I then strived for another year until
all those traps also broke. (Bajat-ul-Asrr, p. 166)

Whoever gives the thing that he needs for himself to any other

O P .
A.H., I and my respected teacher Shaykh ammd KI< JH

who is resting in this grave were on our way to Jmi-urRufa with a Qfila to offer al-tul-Jumua. On the way,
O P . suddenly
while crossing a bridge, Shaykh ammd KI< JH
pushed me, causing me to fall into a canal. It was very cold but
I recited # and made the intention for Friday bath. Having
performed bath, I came out, squeezed the water from my
woollen robe and joined the Qfila.
O P . began to laugh,

but he < rebuked them saying, I did so just to test
Abd-ul-Qdir and I found him as strong as a rock. Ghau-e
O P
Aam KI< JH

O P
respected teacher Shaykh ammd K I< J H
. , in his grave,
dressed in clothes embroidered with diamonds with a rubies
crown on his head, golden bracelets around his hands and
golden shoes in his feet, but the odd thing was that his right
hand was not moving. I asked him the reason for it, he replied,
This is the hand whereby I shoved you, causing you to fall into
the canal. Will you forgive me? I forgave him. He then said,
Please make supplication to All ! " so that He ! "
enables me to use my right hand. I prayed to All ! " and
five thousand saints of All ! " said from inside their
graves. By the grace of All ! " he became able to use his
right hand. He then shook hands with me out of happiness.
This news spread throughout Baghdad. Listening to it, the
O P . were somewhat

O P
K I

O P
do so. Ghau-e-Aam K I< J H

inner state and said, Choose two Shuykh for the solution to
this problem.

Therefore, it is stated on page 278 of the first volume of Bare-Sharat, a masterpiece of adr-ush-Shara, Badr-ut-arqa,

My hand of protection is above my disciple as the sky is above

grace of Allah ! " , I am righteous. I swear by the glory and
greatness of my Creator ! " ! I will not leave the court of my
Creator ! " unless I make each and every disciple of mine

promised me to make my disciples and friends enter Paradise.
Therefore, the one who calls himself a disciple of mine, I
initiate him into my Spiritual Order and pay attention towards
him. I have made the Munkar and Nakr promise that they
would not frighten my disciples in their graves. (Derived from
