In the praise of the noble prophet

Mohammed (peace be upon him)

In Madina is the grave of the prophet, which visited by angels

It is such grave, there is excellence in empyrean and in the sky

The tomb of the holy prophet in Madina

Is there any relation between desert of Madina with the

gardens?
So with the lovely air of Madina, it is envious the garden of
paradise

If Madina city is safe then everything is safe

So Allah keeps it as the cause of the blessing
 4

Madina is such a garden city which is the décor of all gardens

The seasons of the gardens of paradise are due to the Madina

While leaving Madina, so no need to visit the garden of paradise

As it is better than heaven and it is a living paradise on the earth

Not we but Allah also love the city of Madina

The love of Madina is like the love of the prophet

The beggar of this door is the king of fate and worlds

The beggar of this place is a matter of envy of the kings

One who has become rich there so his fate could not known
In the resurrection day prophet, Ibrahim will find help there

Oh, Allah help us to reach Madina city to see how it is there?

Where is the mercy and there is available blessing everywhere?

If one leaves Madina then he will not find the resort of heaven
If there is a love of Madina then it is guaranteed of the heaven

On the earth, he is called Mohammed and Ahmed in the skies

His praise is in the world and also his praise is found in the skies

There is his great rule in Madina also he is a ruler of the skies

Madina is capital and he is the great ruler of the two worlds

What mistake you did Hafeez by leaving the city of Madina ?

 5

As it is such heaven and liked by the angles of the empyrean

 6

Why Hafeez will go to heaven by leaving the city of Madina ?

What is heaven as it is gracefully for the sake of Madina city?

them have given predictions about his arrival. Hazrat Hasan of
Basara has given details of the holy persons who were passed
away from the world from his period up to Abdul Quader Jilani.
And all of them have given information about the arrival of
Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani. (Tafrih Khater)

4. Giving the information by Shaikh Abdul Quader

Hazrat Shaikh Abu Ahmed Abed Juni has given information in

the year 468 Hegira in his residence in Mountain Hird and he has

boy and who will become famous and well known for his
miracles and supernatural habits. He will be well accepted and

higher status and level with the people and with Allah. And his

Baghdad and will settle down there and he will declare this and
all holy persons of Allah will be obedient of him. (Tahrih Qatir)

7. Giving information by Shaikh Muslama Bin Nama Al-Saruji

Somebody has asked by Shaikh Muslama Bin Nama Al-Saruji

that at present who is Qutub of this period.? He has replied that
“The Qutub of this time is Makkah. And he is hidden there and
except pious nobody did not know him.” And also by pointing
 19

toward Iraq he has said that “Soon one non-Arab person whose
holy name will be Abdul Quader will appear there. There will be
many of his miracles and supernatural habits. And he will be
among Ghouth (one who redresses another’s grievances) and
Qutub of his time. And among general persons,
he will declare and he will right upon
this saying. All holy persons of his time will be under his foot. For
certifying his personality and his higher geneology record there
will be given benefits to these persons by Allah. (Qalad Jawaher)

8.Incomparable birth of the holy person among holy persons of

Allah
Father of Hazrat Abdul Quader Jilani Hazrat Abu Musa Saleh
Zangi has seen in observation during the night of his birth that
prophet and his companions, leaders of guidance and holy
persons of Allah. The prophet told him that “Oh my son Abu
Saleh Allah has given you one son and who is my son and my
dearly loved one. And who is also a dearly beloved person by
Allah. And his status will be as such among the holy persons
which I have among the prophets.”
After the prophet and all the prophets, who have given
glad tiding in the dream that except leaders of Islam all holy
persons of Allah who will be obedient of your son. And he will
put his foot on their necks. His submission and obedience which
will be the cause of their progress as well as status. And one who
will be refuse his status then he will be removed from the status
of the nearness of Allah and he will be put in the pit of
deprivation for this reason.

9.Presence of 11 hundred holy persons of Allah

 20

On the night in which Hazrat Abdul Quader Jilani was born and
during that night all boys were born in Jilan and they all were
boys and they were all holy persons of Allah.
As per Malfuzat of Shaikh Eisa Burhanpuri, the following details
are available. When holy sperm of Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani
when it was left from the backside of his father Hazrat Musa
Zangi and was entered in the womb of his mother. And then at
that time, the house was illuminated. And for his sake by Allah,
the sperms of holy persons left from their backsides of their
fathers were entered into the wombs of their mothers. And they
were born on the same night in which Shaikh Abdul Quader was
born. So that they should benefit by his favour.
10.He did not drink milk in the whole Ramadan month
Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani was born in the month of
Ramadan. And in the whole month of Ramadan from keeping the
time of fast till fast breaking time, he did not drink the milk of
his mother. He has said by pointing about this event that by
details of his beginning of life the informations which are full in
the books. And he said that “In his fast keeping in the childhood
days which was the cause of my fame.”
11.The holy foot of the prophet on his neck
Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani has said that “ When there was
available Meraj (Prophts’ accession) to my grandfather and when
he has reached The Lote-Tree of the Furthermost Boundary is his
station. Then angel Gabriel was left behind. And he told him “Oh
Mohammed if he will proceed further then he will be burnt
down.” So Allah has sent my soul there to get benefit in his
company. So I have visited him and was obtained great grace. As
well as saintliness and great caliphate in this matter and was
standing at the place of Borraq (The Burāq (Arabic: ‫ اْلُبَر اق‬al-Burāq
or /ælˈbʊrɑːk/ "lightning" or more generally "bright") is a
creature in Islamic tradition that was said to be a transport for
 21

certain prophets.) and my grandfather by holy holding my bridle

and he was sat on Borraq. And he was reached at the place near
the object of his quest that is two bow length. And he was told
me that my foot is on your neck. And your feet will be on the
neck of all holy persons of Allah. And Ala Hazrat Fazil Braelvi
what good he said in this matter in his Urdu couplet and its
English translation and interpretation is as follows.
“For whom there will be made pulpits of necks of the holy
persons and for such a miracle there will be many lakhs of salam
upon him.”
Allah made me controller upon all Qutub (In Sufism, a Qutb is
the perfect human being, al-Insān al-Kāmil ('The Universal Man'),
who leads the saintly hierarchy.) persons, so there is my rule is in
continuance in all conditions.

12.His approach to the empyrean before his birth

Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani was said that when he was reached
to empyrean then there were manifested all lights of Allah. And
he was got such position in this matter. I have seen empyrean
before my birth. Then upon me, all angels of Allah were
manifested and were given my name as Ghout Azam. And due to
look of favour were given to me the crown of union (with God)
and holiness and were wear the robe of honour of nearness.

13. Call of Mohiuddin on the empyrean

Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani said that “When there was
available accession to the prophet then at that time Allah has
sent souls of the holy persons and prophets to welcome me
there. And when he has reached near empyrean then he has
 22

found high and for climbing which it is required must a ladder.

Then Allah has sent my soul and I have placed my shoulder in the
place of the ladder. When he has put his foot upon my shoulder
then he has asked about me. Then there was a revelation that
“He is your son. And his name is Abdul Quader and if you were
not the last prophet then after you he will become your
successor.” And upon this prophet thanked Allah in this matter.
14. Order of the prophet in favour of the Ghouse Azam
Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader said my grandfather told which is as
follows. “
"Oh my son congratulations to you that you have seen me. And
you are benefitted by my graces. It is also congratulation to that
person who has seen you or seen the person who has seen you.
Or seen that person who has seen your looker’s looker.
I have appointed you as my minister in both worlds. I have put
my foot on your neck. And your foot will be there on the neck of
all holy persons in the world."

15. Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader is beloved of the prophet

Shaikh Abdul Quader told that “When Allah has granted grace
to see the prophet and he has informed about his revelation to
me and was told to the prophet that “ Oh Mohammed do you
know him.” And he told Allah that “ You know more than me.”
Then Allah told him that “ He is your son among a race of Hasan
Ibn Ali. And his name is Abdul Quader. And I have made him my
beloved after you. And soon his dignity among the holy persons
which will be like your position among the prophets.” Then the
prophet told that “ Oh my son coolness of my eyes we are happy
to see each other. So you are mine and beloved of Allah. You are
an heir of saintliness and loveliness after me. I have put my foot
on your neck. And your neck will be there on holy persons of
Allah.”
 23

16. One who will not recognize Ghouse Azam then he will not
be the holy person of Allah.

This tradition is said by Mashaik (saints ) persons that when

the prophet has reached the empyrean after passing seven skies
and he has found it higher. And from sanctity, he has heard this
call that “Oh dear friend come upon so he has thought how to
reach such higher empyrean. Then at that time one young smart
man immediately came there and as per his status he has paid
respect to him and he was sat there and by his language of
innermost, he has requested him to put his foot on his neck. So
then prophet has put his foot on his neck and afterward that
gentleman began increasing and then he has reached up to the
empyrean then there the prophet has paid attention to him and
asked about him then he has stood before him by folding his
hands with much respect. Then there came a thought in his mind
that his status will be higher and more than his status of
saintliness. Then the prophet has heard the call from Allah in
which is said as follows.
“ Oh, my friend he is your son. And the coolness of your eyes.
And his name is Abdul Quader. At the time of the majority of the
people of the innovators and atheist then at that time he will
give new life and manifest your religion. And his title is
Mohiuddin.”
Upon hearing this address prophet was happy very much
and he has prayed for him very much in this matter. And he said
as follows. “Oh, the light of my eyes. And the brightness of my
house as there is my foot on your neck and in the same way your
foot will be there on the necks of all holy persons of Allah. One
who will accept your foot then he will be given great status. And
 24

one who will not recognize you then his status of saintliness will
be taken away from him.”
17. The presence of the soul of the Ghouse Azam
Hazrat Shaikh Rasheed Mohammed Bin Junaidi has written in
his book Harz Ashiqin that in the night of accession angel Gabriel
has taken with him Borraq which was very fast than electricity
and came into the presence of the prophet. And the pairs of his
foot were shining like moon and nails in it were shining like the
stars. And he was dancing and jumping and was not stopping the
activity that the prophet maybe rides soon upon him. Then the
prophet told him “Oh Borraq why you are not stopping your
activity. So that I can ride up on you. Then Borraq told him that
“Oh prophet of Allah I may sacrifice on foot of your dust. I want
to make one promise with you that on the day of judgment you
ride upon me and go to heaven.”The prophet told him that” Yes
it will happen like this.” Then Borraq told him that there is “One
request with you that you strike on my neck so that there will
become a mark. The prophet strikes upon his neck and so Borraq
was happy very much in this matter. And there was much
happiness to his soul in his body. And due to this happiness, his
body size was increased by 40 hands. The prophet due to the
wisdom of eternal secret was delayed to ride on the Borraq. And
at that time soul of Hazrat Ghout Azam was came there and told
that “ Oh my master put your foot on my neck and ride on the
Borraq.” And the prophet has put his holy foot on his neck and
ride on the Borraq and he said that “My foot on your neck and
your foot on every holy person of Allah.”

18. A great miracle happened at the time of his birth

Shaikh Abu Saeed Abdallah and Um Jamila have narrated this
tradition a number of times that the Shaikh Abdul Quader's
 25

mother when her son of the good luck Abdul Quader who was
born and who did not use to drink the milk during daytime in the
month of Ramadan and she has said that once due to cloud the
moon in the Ramadan month could not be seen in the sky. The
people have come to see her and have asked what is the
condition? She said that “My son did not drink milk today.” At
last, it was able to know that it was the day of the Ramadan
month.” There was become the talk of the town of this matter in
the whole city that there was a born a boy in Sadat
(Sadat (Arabic: ‫ )س ادات‬is a suffix, which is given to females
believed to be descendants of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
(Bahijatal Israr).

19. He used to address 13 pieces of knowledge

Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhadith Dehlavi said that Hazrat
Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani used to address 13 pieces of
knowledge.
20.His light of saintliness
There was one boy from the non-Arabian region and who was
very unintelligent and dull. Upon explaining by him with many
endeavors but he could not able to understand any issue. One
day one holy person in his presence came and his name was Ibn
Samhal and at that time he was teaching that boy and due to not
understanding the boy Ibn Samhal was surprised in this matter.
When the boy left after taking his lesson from there then at that
time Ibn Samhal told him that “ He is surprised that you are
teaching him with many endeavors.” Then he has replied that
“There were left one week of my hard work and endeavors with
this boy and he will leave the world within one week of time.”Ibn
Samahal has said that really one week was not passed away then
boy left this mortal world. I have attended the funeral of that
boy.

21.The removal of one cruel Qazi from the post

Abul Wafa Zalim Bin Saeed who was become famous and well
known with his name Ibn Mazhem Zalim and who has appointed
as Qazi by caliph Muqtafi Amar Allah. Then at that time, Hazrat
Abdul Quader Jilani went upon the pulpit and he has told the
caliph that “ Oh caliph you have appointed one cruel Qazi on his
post. Tomorrow what you will reply to in the court of Allah in this
matter.?, When the caliph has heard the order of Shaikh Abdul
Quader Jilani then he began weeping by shivering. And at the
same time that cruel person was removed from the post of Qazi.

22.The discharge of the blood from money bags

Hazrat Shaikh Abul-Abbas Khizer Hussain Mouseli has said

that “ One night many persons were there in the school of Hazrat
Ghout Azam then at that time caliph Mustanjid Billah came there
in his presence and after saying salam to him he has before him
with much respect. He has brought ten bags of money with him
and he has given him an offering amount in the money bags. But
he did not accept vow money from him. The caliph has insisting
very much on this matter. Due to such insisting he has accepted
two bags of money. And he has held one bag of money on his
right and another in his left hand and then he began squeezing
them so for this reason there was began coming of blood from
them. And he has told caliph that “You do not have fear of Allah
with you so you have to squeeze the blood of the people and
packed in the money bags and brought before me. Upon seeing
this and hearing this matter the caliph of Baghdad became un-
conscious. Then he told that “If he did care about caliph’s link
 27

with the prophet otherwise then I would have spread this blood
on your royal palaces.” (Safinat-Al- Auliya)

23.The meeting of the 70,000 persons used to hold

The well-known and famous Sheikh Abdullah Jibai told that

“Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani told him that in the beginning time
there will be used to sit before him 2 or 3 persons in his
meetings. When there was the fame of me then there was
started the meetings of the persons of the uncountable. At that
time I used to sit in the locality of Jilab Eidgah (A place where
mass prayers are offered by the Muslims on special occasions or
festivals, such as Ramadan(Eid-ul-Fitr), Bakrid (Eid-ul-Zohwa) in
Baghdad. The people used to bring torches and lanterns in the
meeting which will begin in such a large place that Eidgah will be
looking smaller to the persons. So for this reason the pulpit was
moved to outside of the Eidgah. The people began coming from
long-distance places on a camel, horses, and mules in large
numbers. At that time there will be held a meeting of 70,000
persons. In his meeting, there were used to find learned persons,
Islamic jurists, and saintly guides. He was engaged for a period of
40 years in the work of sermons and advice. And for the writing
about the benefits of the Sheikh Abdul Quader, there will be
available approximately 400 clerks and learned persons. These
details were explained by his son Syed Abdul Wahab. (Bahijatal
Israr).

24. Arrival of prophets and holy persons in his meeting place

Abdul Quader Jilani said that in his holy meetings holy persons
and prophets who used to be a presence with living body and
 28

souls and as well as Jinns and angels there will be found. The
prophet used to be a presence for the training and support
there. Hazrat Khizer used to be present much of his time in the
meeting place. Hazrat Khizer who used to meet shaikhs of time
then he will advise them to be a presence in the meetings of
Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani. He also used to say that “If one who
want for welfare and prosperity then he must attend his meeting
always. (Bahijtal Israr)

25.The coming of the prophet in his meeting

Hazrat Abu Saeed Qilwai said that he has seen many times
the coming of the holy prophet and other prophets who were
present in his meeting place. The angels were used to be present
in the meeting place group-wise. And in the same way, invisible
persons who used to be present there and they used to be
involved in the competition for their presence in the meeting.
(Bahijatal Israr)

26.Stop the rainfall around the meeting place

Shaikh Adi ibn Musafir (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) states, “On one
occasion while Huzoor Ghaus-e- Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh)
was giving a lecture, a shower of rain descended from the sky.
This caused some of the members of the audience to disperse, so
he raised his head towards the heaven above and said, “Here I
am, gathering people together for Your sake and You are
scattering them away from me like this.” The rain at once
stopped falling on the courtyard where the lecture was taking
place, though the downpour continued unabated beyond the
perimeter of the schoolhouse and not a single drop of rain fell on
the session.”
 29

27.The prevalence of un-consciousness upon Muhadit Ibn Juzi

As per the statement of Shaiken that in the meeting of Shaikh

Abdul Quader Jilani there will not spit by the persons who will
present in the meeting place and nobody did not talk with other
persons in the meeting place and nobody did not dare to stand

the prevalence of un-consciousness upon Muhadit Ibn Juzi.

28. Acceptance of Islam by Jews and Christain persons in his

Eisa
One Christain person who came in the meeting place of Shaikh
Abdul Quader Jilani by standing he said that “ Sir I am from
 30

Yemen and there was created this matter in my heart to enter in

the religion of Islam. And it is my firm decision in this matter to
accept Islam in the hands of Yemen’s great and holy person of
Allah. And by thinking this he slept. And he was seen prophet
Eisa in my dream and who told me that “ Oh Sanan go to
Baghdad and enter into the fold of Islamic religion on the hands
of Shaikh Abdul Quader. Because in the world he is a great and
holy person among all persons. (Bahijat Abrar)

31. The invisible call heard in his favour

Once 13 persons came into the service of Shaikh Abdul

Quader for entering into the circle of the Islamic religion. Upon
accepting Islam they said that we are Arabic Christians and we
have decided to accept Islam religion and we were thinking to
accept Islam in the hands of any perfect Muslim person. And
during that time there was an invisible call heard in which it was
said that to go Baghdad and to accept Islamic religion on the
blessed hands of Shaikh Abdul Quader. So there will be such
blessing of Islamic from his hands in your hearts and which will

found Prophet Musa and the Last Prophet of Allah has asked him
“ Oh Musa is there any person in your nation like the status of
Shaikh Abdul Quader. Hazrat Musa replied to him that “ There is
 31

no such owner of status in my nation.” And then prophet has

awarded him robe of honour.

33. The entry of 60 thieves into the fold of the Islam

So she was weeping and stood from there and she has
brought 80 dinars amount remaining from the inheritance of my
father. Among that amount, she has taken 40 dinars for my
brother and balance 40 dinars she has kept and stitched in my
shirt’s cloth under the armpit and she has given me permission
to travel to Baghdad city. She has taken the pledge from me for
not telling lies. And she has come outside of the house to say
God bye to me. And she has said to me that “For the sake of
Allah she has disconnected with me all her connections and till
the day of judgment she will not see my face.” I have joined the
small group of the caravan to journey to Baghdad. When we
have passed from Hamdan city then in that place 60 horsemen
appeared there and encircled the caravan and nobody did not
care about me. But one person among them came toward me
and has asked “Oh Fakir what you have with you.? I have told
that “ I have 40 dinars with me.” Then he has asked,” Where are
there.?” I have told that under the armpit stitched into the cloth.
He thought that I was joking with him. So he left me. Another
person who came to me has asked the same question which was
asked by the previous man and I have given a reply which I was
given to another person. Both of them went to the chief of the
robbers and they have said to him what I said to them. And who
has called me. They have taken me to one hillock where the
looted goods were being distributed among the thieves. The
 32

chief has asked me “What you have with you.?” I have told him
that “I have 40 dinars with me.” Then he has asked where dinars
are kept there. I have told him that it is stitched into the cloth in
the armpit. So he was given the order to tear off my dress and
they got whatever I have told them. So the chief told me that
“How I got the courage to confirm in this matter.?” I have told
him that “My mother was taken a promise from me that I will not
say false and I have not done breach of trust in the promise
which was made by the mother.”

So the chief began weeping and he said that “You are not
guilty of the promise done to your mother. But I am doing breach
of trust with my promise with Allah for some period of years.” He
was repentance upon my hand. So his companions told him that
“ You were the leader in our robberies so become our leader in
our repentance.” And all were repented upon my hand. And
goods and things which were looted by them were returned back
to the caravan people. The chief was the first person who has
repented upon my hand.

 35

37.His foot on the head of the Hazrat Moinuddin Chisti

At the time Shaikh Abdul Qudar has said then at that time
Hazrat Moinuddin Chisti was engaged in the mountains of the
Khurasan.When he has heard his declaration then he has put his
head on the earth. And by his tongue, he has called that “Oh my

One holy person and his name is Shaikh Abu Mohammed

Yousuf Al-Quli who said that once he was present in the service
of Shaikh Adi Bin Musafir and he has asked me which place I used
to belong.? And it told him I am resident of Baghdad and disciple
of the emperor of Baghdad. Upon hearing this he has said that it
is very nice, it is very nice. And he is Qutub of his time and when
he has said then at that time 300 holy persons and 700 invisible
persons who were bending their necks. So near of his greatness,
this argument is which is great.

39. Presence of Jinns on his house door

Hazrat Shaikh Majid Kardi said that when Shaikh Abdul Quader
has declared that then at that time there did not remain any holy
person on the earth and who by recognizing him due to his
humility and his status did not bend their necks. And at that time
there was no such meetings of pious Jinns in which there was not
heard a declaration of Shaikh Abdul Quader. All jinns of the world
who were present on his house door and all Jinns were given him
a present of salam to him and all of them have repented on his
 36

holy hands and were entered into the fold of the Islamic religion.
(Bahijat Israr)

40. Presence of holy persons in his presence and give him a

present of benediction

When Shaikh Abdul Quader has declared that then at that

time a great group of persons came there by flying in the air. And
this group of persons came to visit him. As Hazrat Khizer was
given the order to be present in service of Shaikh Abdul Quader.
Upon his declaration, all holy persons have given congratulation
to him in this matter. And in this way given their present of
benediction as follows.
“ Oh, emperor and guide of the time and oh living personality as
per the order of Allah and heirs of the book of Allah, and Sunnah
of the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) oh higher level
personality. And his eating carpet is in sky and earth. The people
of the time are his family members. Oh, the personality of
honour, and there will be rainfall due to his prayer. And due to
his blessing, there will be milk in the teat of the animals. Before
him, holy persons bend their necks. With him, there will be stood
40 rows of the invisible persons in the condition of humility. And
in each such row, there will be found, 70 invisible persons. Oh, a
person of higher status on his hand palm it is written that “Allah
will fulfill his promise which was made to him.” And when he was
ten years old then at that time angels will come and go around
him. And used to inform about his saintliness.” (Seeratal Ghouse
Saqlin)
 37

Except for one proud person of Isphan nobody did not refuse
and who was unaware of his status. Among holy persons due to
his knowledge and better condition, he has much respect and
admiration. But there was overpowered ill-lucky upon him. He
has such respect like Satan among the angles of Allah. But there
was ill luck which overpowered upon him. All angels have
prostrated Adam but Satan did refuse to prostrate the light of
Mohammed. And which was there in the forehead of Adam. And
its result was that there was given collar of curse and which was
became garland of his head.

41. The certification of angels in his favour

Hazrat Shaikh Baqa Bin Batur has said when Shaikh Abdul
Quader has declared that then angels have said by their tongues
that “ Oh Allah’s slave you have said right.” (Bahijatal Israr)

Hazrat Shaikh Khalifa Akbar has seen the prophet in his dream
and has told him that Shaikh Abdul Quader has declared that
then the prophet told that “ Sidiq Shaikh Abdul Quader fakif la

did not say that as he is Qutub of time under his care.?”

43.Presence of the persons of invisible

Hafiz Abu Zara Taher Bin Mohammed Zaher Al-Dari has said
that “One time I was present in the meeting place of Shaikh
Abdul Quader then at that time he has said he has a conversation
with invisible persons and who come from the mount of Qaf (The
Caucasus as the legendary abode of the fairies) to attend in his
 38

meeting place. Then his son Abdul Razzaq was asked the
condition of that time. Then he has told that at the time of his
saying when he has looked at the upper side then he found many
rows of the invisible persons. And with them horizon was full.
And these persons were hearing the holy speech of Shaikh Abdul
Quader by putting down their heads.

Sheikh Abu Zara Zaher said that “Once I was present in the
meeting of the Sheikh Abdul Quader in the year 557 Hegira. He
said that “ Sheikh Abdul Quader said “My speech for such
persons who will present from another side of the mountain of
Qaf (The Caucasus as the legendary abode of the fairies). Their
feet are in the wind. And their hearts are on celestial. Their caps
will be burnt down soon in the much fondness of the love of
Allah. Hazrat Abdul Quader's son Abdul Razzaq, who was sitting
downside on the foot of the pulpit and who has seen at the sky
side for some time, then he has become unconscious and his

the pulpit. During the sermon, he was stood and went into the
air for some foot distance, and by his holy tongue, he has said “

With him it was asked what was this event.? Then he has said

him so that he can listen to my conversation. So he was stopped
there.” (Akbar Al-Akhyar)
 39

45.The presence of the Jinns in his meeting place

Abu Nazer Bin Umar Baghadadi’s father one time has called
practically Jinns in his presence. But they have done very much
delay as per their practice. When Jinns came there and told me
that “When they present in the meeting of the Sheikh Abdul
Quader then at that time do not call them.” I have asked him
whether you also present in the Hazrat’s meeting.? Then he has
replied that “ In the meeting of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Quader
there will be present more Jinns comparing with the men.”

46. One Jinn was killed for disrespecting Baghdad city

Abu Saeed Abdalla Bin Ahmed Baghdadi, who said one day his
16-year-old daughter went upon the upper storey and from
there she was disappeared. Then I went into the service of
Shaikh Abdul Quader and has explained to him all the details on
this matter. He told him “To go the deserted place of Karq
tonight, which is a locality in Baghdad. And mark the circle on the
earth. And upon marking the circle recite “Bismilla Ali Niyyat
Abdul Quader” and sit in the circle. When there will be a spread
of darkness then Jinns in the large number who will come there
and who will pass from you in many shapes. You should not
afraid of them and in the morning time, the king of the Jinns who
will come there with his army and he will ask you while standing
outside of the circle, what is your work.? Then tell him that
“Shaikh Abdul Quader has sent to you. And tell him the story of
your girl to him.” The narrator said that when I have done like
this then these Jinns who have passed in groups in dangerous
shapes from there. Then there came the Jinn’s king on his horse
 40

along with his army. And he was there and standing near the
outside of the circle and he has asked what is there is needed by
you.? And I told him that Shaikh Abdul Quader has sent me here.
So he got down from the horse immediately and was kissed the
earth, then he has sat outside of the circle and he has asked why
he has sent you.? So I have told about misplaced by my daughter.
Then he was given the order to present the Jinn who has taken
away the girl from his house. And immediately that Jinn and the
girl were presented there. Then he said he is from Jinn from
China. The king has asked “Why you have taken her from the
stirrup of the Qutub.?” Then he was told that “He was like that
girl and who has got a place in his heart.” He was given the order
to kill such disobedient for disrespecting the city of Shaikh Abdul
Quader and to give the girl to me.

47. One Jinn has obeyed his order

The above narrator said that “One Isphani who came to see
Shaikh Abdul Quader and told him that his wife is suffering from
the disease of epilepsy. All magicians and people of charms have
become helpless in this matter for this reason.” He told him that
“He is Dev of Sarandeep and his name is Dev Janas. If there will
have a fits upon your woman then tell her in-ear that “Oh Janas,
to you Shaikh Abdul Quader who is residing in Baghdad and who
is saying that you should not come there again. And if you will
come again, then he will kill you.” So that person went back and
did as per the saying of the Shaikh Abdul Quader. (Sainatal
Auliya)

48. Satan become helpless before Shaikh Abdul Quader

 41

It was said by Omar Serafini that Shaikh Abdul Quader told

him that “He used to live day and night in a deserted place and
did not come to Baghdad city. During this time the Satan used to
come to see in the line on the horses and on the foot soldiers
with swords in different shapes and they used to throw fire upon
me there. I was satisfied with my heart. And I will not find any
kind of change in my condition. There will become one call from
my innermost that all Satans will be running away from your
there due to my voice of horror. And one Satan came to me and
he said that “To go from here to another place and he will do
this and that to him.” He began me afraid so I have slapped him
in this matter. Then he began running. So I began saying “La Hol
Wala Quwata” and I have seen him while going away from there.
Once one person of bad shape and who has bad smell came
into my service and he said he is Satan and he came there for his
service because you have given trouble to me and my disciples. I
said to him to go from there, but he did not move from there by
that time one invisible hand, which was appeared and which hit
on his head and when he was disappeared from there.
Then he was appeared by holding the spear of the fire in his
hand and come before me to fight with me. Then there came one
person on a horse wearing the coverlet on his shoulder. And who
has given me a sword so for this reason Satan runs away from
there. The third time I have seen him and who is running here
and there upon seeing me. And who was putting dust on his
head. And he was saying “Oh Abdul Quader you have
disappointed me.” I told him “Oh wicked and worst I am afraid of
your frauds.” Then he said that “He is more afraid in this matter
than afraid comparing of Abdul Quader.”
It is reported by one holy person that he was heard by Shaikh
Abdul Quader that “ He used to live day and night in the
dangerous jungles then at that time Jinns used to come before
 42

me in the shape of dangerous shapes and fight me there. And

they used to throw fireballs upon me. But he will not feel little
danger in his heart for this reason. And there will be heard the
call by an invisible source that “ Oh Abdul Quader wake up and
fight and you will be firm. There will be available always help of
Allah to you in this matter.” When I proceed to face them then
they will flee from there. Then I will recite “ La Hawla Wa La
Quwwata illa BillAhil Aliyyil Azeem” and during this time whoever
comes before me will be killed by the fire. (Bahijatal Israr)

49.The failure of Satan before him

Shaikh Abdul Quader has said that “One day I went toward
one jungle. In which there was not available anything to eat and
drink there. I have lived there for many days. There was severe
thirstiness before me. Upon my head, there came one piece of
the cloud and from it, there were fallen some drops of water
which I have drunk. Then I have seen one personality of light and
from its light, the ends of the sky were lighted. And there was
heard one call in which it was told that “Oh Abdul Quader I am
your God and I have declared all illegal things legal to you.” Then I
have recited immediately Laa howla wala quwwata illa billa hil
aliyyil Azeem and that light was immediately over from there and
that light turned into smoke. In the same way, there was heard
one call in which it was said “Oh Abdul Quader you have saved by
your knowledge. And before him I have put 70 learned persons in
the pit of misguidance. Then he told that “Oh Satan I have not
protected by knowledge but I was saved by favour of Allah.

50.One snake in a court of Shaikh Abdul Quader

 43

There is one holy person and his name is Shaikh Saleh Ahmed
in Saleh Al-Jaili and who said that one day he was in the school
and explaining the issue to the persons there. And at that time

seeing all audience were fled away from there. But he was not
moved from his place. The snake was entered into his clothes.
And visiting all areas of his body and came out from his collar and
it was attched with his neck. But he did not stop his sermon. And
even
he did not move his body. Then the snake came on the earth.
And upon saying something he went away from there. Then at
that time, all people came back to their places. And all of them
have asked him your honour what snake talked with you. He told
that “ “He has tried many holy persons of Allah but he could not
find a person like you. And not find same like you. (Bahijatal
Israr )

51. The repentance of snake in the court of Shaikh Abdul

Quader

Shaikh Abdul Quader said that “Once in Jama Mansouri

mosque he was Imam in the prayer and at that time in the
condition of prayer that snake was stood at my place of
prostration by opening his mouth. I have done prostration there
by removing him from there and the snake clung to his neck then
the snake was entered into one of his sleeve and went outside of
the other sleeve. And when he has finished the prayer by
performing of salam and by that time snake was left from there.
Next day when I was there in a wide portion of that mosque
and I have seen one person and his eyes were in big size. And I
guess that this is not a man but he is a Jinn person. Then that
person told me that “He is that snake which he has seen me
 44

yesterday. In such a condition, I have tried many holy persons of

Allah. And I could not find any such firm person like you. Then
that snake was repented upon his hands. (Tabqat Kubra)

52.There is reduce of punishment due to his prayer

One narrator said that one time one Hamadni person came to
visit Shaikh Abdul Quader and he was told that his father has
died. And who told “In my dream today he came and he said that
he is upset with the punishment in the grave. So go to Abdul
Quader Jilani and request him for prayer for me.” Then Shaikh
Abdul Quader asked “Whether he has passed from his school”
and he said “Yes.” Then Shaikh Abdul Quader has become silent.
On the next day, that person came in the presence of the Shaikh
Abdul Quader. And who said that “I have seen my father in the
dream. And who is very much happier. And who was wearing a
green dress and he was saying that his punishment was already
removed. And this robe of honour which was given to me due to
the reason of the benediction of the Shaikh Abdul Quader. Oh,
son, it is compulsory for you to live in the service of the Shaikh
Abdul Quader.”

53. The well of his water is the cure of all diseases

During the time of Shaikh Abdul Quader, there was erupt

epidemic of plague in the city of Baghdad. And due to this
disease, many thousand persons died. The persons came in his
persons and have requested relief from this plague disease. And
he has told to eat the grass around of his school and drink the
water of the school well and one who will act this will be cured
by this plague disease. So the people have done like this and
 45

were cured well in this matter. And after this again this plague
disease never came in Baghdad city.

54. Kissing of the silt of his door by learned persons

One darwesh Shaikh Usman Sarfani said that learned persons

of Iraq who were contemporary persons of Shaikh Abdul Quader
and they presence in the court of Shaikh Abdul Quader then at
that time they used to kiss the silt of the door of the school
building.

55. The weeping of one Abdal (an order of saint) on the silt of
the door

One Abdal was removed from the post of Abdal for his
mistake. So he began weeping by putting his forehead on the silt
of the door of the school. And at the said time there was hearing
an invisible call in which it was told that “ As you have put your
head by humility on earth of the door of our deloved so I have
forgiven you. And your position was increased more than before.
So you should present in the court of Abdul Quader and thank
for this great favour of Allah.”

56. Appointment of the thief on the post of Qutub

Once a thief entered the house of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani

(r.a) with the intention of stealing. On entering the house, he
became blind and could not see anything. He was unable to find
his way out of the house and he eventually sat in one corner of
the house. In the morning, he was caught and brought before
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a). When Al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a)
saw him, he placed his blessed hands on the thief’s eyes. The
 46

thief’s eyesight was immediately restored. Sheikh Abdul Qadir

Jilani (r.a) then said, “He came to steal materialistic (worldly
wealth), I will bless him with such a treasure that it will remain
with him forever.” On saying these words, Sheikh Abdul Qadir
Jilani (r.a) placed his blessed sight on the thief once and elevated
him to the status of Wilayat (Sainthood). It was also during this
time that one of the appointed Abdaals had passed away. Sheikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) took the thief, now a Wali, and sent him
out as the replacement for the Abdaal that had passed away.
One time Shaikh Abdul Quader was visited Madina and he was
returning back to Baghdad without wearing the sleepers in his
foot. There was find one thief on way for the theft. So that he
can find a traveler to take away his goods. When he was reached
near him and asked him who he is?. And he has told that he is
one villager. But he was able to know by revelation that he is a
thief. That thief thought he is perhaps Ghouse Azam. And he was
able to know his thinking. And he told him that he is Abdul
Quader. Upon hearing this he was fallen on his foot and he
began repetition of words “ Ya Sayyadi Abdul Quader Shaiallah.”
So there was a feeling of kindness for him. Then he has paid
attention to his correction in the court of Allah then he has heard
an invisible call that “ Oh dear Ghouse show the thief the way of
guidance and make him Qutub of his time. So he has made him
Qutub. (Tafrih Al-Khater)

57. The gown of the blessing

One time Hazrat Ali Bin Jdris went in the service of Shaikh
Abdul Quader along with his spiritual master and he told him
that “ Your honour this is my disciple.” Then he has given him
one piece of cloth and told him “Oh Ali you got to wear the shirt
 47

of health and goodness .” So by wearing the gown of blessing

now, 65 years were passed away. And there is no illness that did
not capture me.

58. He was able to know the affairs of the angelic world

In the court of Shaikh Abdul Quader one holy went and whose
name was Abu Umar Wasir to whom Shaikh Abdul Quader told
him that soon Inshallah there will be given you one disciple and
his name will be Abdul Ghani Bin Naqta. And he will be a great
holy person of Allah. And for his position, Allah will be proud
before the angles. Upon this, he has placed his cap on his head
and there was reached happiness and coolness in my mind. And
from mind to heart there was the revelation of all secrets of the
angelic world to me

59. The discharge of rays of the light from his pure body

Hazrat Shaikh Ali Bin Idris Yakubi’s spiritual master Haqqani

who has taken him in the presence of Shaikh Abdul Quader then
Ghouse Azam was silent for some time. Then he has seen him at
his side and he found that there was the discharge of rays of the
light from his pure body and were going into his body. At that
time I have seen the people of the grave with details of their
condition as well as position and stunts. And also seen the
angels. And was heard different kinds of voices. And from some
voices, I have heard glorification of God. He was able to know
many veils. And he was also able to affairs of the angelic world.

60. To get inspired knowledge

 48

Shaikh Shabuddin Suherwardi has said that “During his youth

period he was engaged in the reading the books of scholastic
philosophy and some of these books I have memorized. As such
that I have become an expert. And my uncle Sheikh Najibuddin
used to prohibit me in this matter. But I did not use to hear from
him anything in this matter. And one day he was going to see the
Shaikh Abdul Quader. And he was also taken with me there.
When I went near him then he said “Oh Omar, Allah said “Ya ahi
lazina amanu eza najitam faqadamu baina yadiu najawakam
sadqa.”At this time we are in the presence of such a holy person
and whose heart will give information about Allah.” So keep you
alert so that you will not get benediction from his visit.” When I
visited Shaikh Abdul Quader and able to look at his face and
upon sitting for some time then I have told him that this is my
nephew and his name is Omar and I have prohibited him a
number of times not to read books of scholastic philosophy by
him but he is ignoring my advice in this matter. Then Shaikh
Abdul Quader has asked “Oh Omar which books of this
knowledge you are studying by you”.I have told I read such and
such books by me. Then sheikh was touched my chest than for
this reason there has not remained any knowledge which I was
memorized. But at that time Allah has opened the door of
inspired knowledge upon my heart. And from there I was
standing by, saying the knowledge of wisdom. He said to me “Oh

come later time. So this happened like this.

renounce all right to him. Raise him to become like you.” The
Shaikh accepted the child and started to teach him piety,
spirituality, etc. After some time the mother came to see her son
and found him thin and pale and eating a crust of bread. She was
angry and asked to see the Shaikh. When she came upon him she
found him well dressed, seated in a pleasant room and eating a
chicken. She exclaimed, “While you eat your chicken my poor
son, whom I left in your care, has nothing but a piece of dry
bread!” The Shaikh placed his hand over the bones of the chicken
and said, “In the name of Allah Who revives bones from dust,
rise!” The chicken immediately became alive and it ran about the
table saying, “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad
(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is His Messenger and Shaikh Abdul
Qadir is the friend of Allah and His Messenger!” Huzoor Ghaus-e-

wishes.”

Shaikh Abdul Quader was told that if there will be no

restriction of the Islamic law upon his tongue then I would inform
you all things which you eat in your houses. All of you are like
things in bottle before me. And these are things which are in
manifest and innermost which I can see. (Tafrih Qater)

77.The prediction of the matters which will be happen later

Hazrat Khizer Al-Hussuani said that Shaikh Abdul Quader told

me that “You will go Musil and there will be born sons to you
there and first son will be born one boy and his name will be
Mohammed. When he will be seven years old then one blind
person from Baghdad and his name will be Ali will memorize him
the Quran. And you will die at the age of 94 years six months and
four days in Arbal city. Your hearing and sight and power of your
body parts will be good and healthy at that time.”
So Abu Abdallah Mohammed son of Hazrat Khizer Al-Hussaini
said that “My father lived in Mousil city and I was born there and
I have got knowledge of Quran from that person as mentioned
above. After this, my father told me that all these matters were
predicted to him by Shaikh Abdul Quader before.” And in Arbal
city, my father died at the age-predicted by him in this matter.
 57

And till his death, all of his power of body parts were in good and
healthy condition.

worrying condition. He was told us while we were sitting around
him he said that “He still he will not die and with him, there will
be born one boy and his name will be Yahiah and who will be
born surely. So in this way, his prediction was found correct. And
the boy’s name given Yahiah. Then he was lived for a long period
of time. (Seerat Ghouse Saqlain)

79. Hunger is like a treasure

One day one person Shaikh Abu Mohammed Aljoni came

into the service of Shaikh Abdul Quader he has said that he was
hungry very much at that time and his household persons were
also hungry for many days. I have said salam in his presence then
he has replied my salam and he has said that “ Oh Joni hunger is
one treasure in the treasures of Allah. One who keeps it his
friend then he will be given.”

80. The knower of matter of hearts

Hazrat Zainuddin said that I and my friend came to Baghdad

after performing the Hajj pilgrimage. And they do not know any
person there. We have with us the only bow. And we have sold it
and purchased rice and cooked and eat. But with such a quantity
of rice, our hunger was not finished. After this, we went to the
 58

meeting place of Shaikh Abdul Quader and there we have

engaged his sermon and during his sermon, he told that there
came two fakirs from Hejaz and they do not have except the bow
with them. They sold it and purchased rice and cooked and eat.
But such a quantity of rice was not covered their hunger. Upon
hearing this we were surprised in this matter. After the end of
the meeting, he was placed eating carpet for us. Then I have
asked my friend his liked dish there and he told me that he will
like Halwa (sweet) dish And I have the desire of honey in my
heart. There were these wishes in our hearts. And he was given
the order to his servant to bring Kash Draji (sweet) and to put
honey before me. So it has happened like this. He told the
servant that to replace honey and to put there the sweet in its
place.

81. The embezzlement in the entrusted thing

Abu Baker Qaimi told that in the childhood period I used to

work camel grazing. And while going to Makkah there was an
agreement with one person for performing the Hajj pilgrimage.
There was feeling for that person that he will die soon so then he
has given me one coverlet and ten dinars and told me to give to
Shaikh Abdul Quader and to tell from his side for his favor
toward him. After his advice, that person died. Upon return I
came back to Baghdad there was thought in his heart that there
is no information of these things to anybody and he was taken
these things by him. One day he was going somewhere. Then at
that time, there was a meeting of Shaikh Abdul Quader and I
have said salam and shaken his hand. Then he caught my hand
by force and he told me that for ten dinars you have not feared
of Allah. And you embezzlement in the entrusted thing of this
non-Arab person. And you have discontinued coming and going
 59

to his place. Upon saying this I was fallen into an unconscious

condition. When there was normal condition went immediately
to the house and brought ten dinners and coverlet presented in
his service.

82. The information on praying without ablution

One holy person and his name is Abul Farj Bin Hamami one
time he went to the locality of Bab Azhaj and while returning
from there I was passed from the school of Shaikh Abdul Quader
at that time there was time for Asar prayer. And there was calling
Takbir (Allāhu ʾakbar meaning "God is greater or "God is the
greatest". It is a common Arabic expression, used in various
contexts by Muslims and Arabs across the world:
informal Salah (prayer) and there thought in heart to pray Asar
prayer there. As well as to say salam to Shaikh Abdul Quader and
due to hurry, there was no thought that I was without ablution.
So in such condition, I was joined in the prayer. When he has
finished the prayer then he told “ Oh my son your memory is
very weak and you have prayed the prayer without ablution now
with your intention. Upon hearing his order I was become very
much worried that he was able to know my hidden condition and
also he has informed me in this matter. (Seerat Ghouse Saqlain)

83. A infidel become Muslim and was appointed on the post of

Abdal

In the country of Syria, one Abdal (Abdāl (Arabic: ‫ )أبدال‬lit:

substitutes, but which can also mean "generous" [karīm] and
"noble" [sharīf]) is a term used in Islamic metaphysics and Islamic
mysticism, both Sunni and Shiite, to refer to a particularly
important group of God's saints ) died. So then he was reached
 60

immediately to Syria from Iraq. And after this Hazrat Khizer and
all other Abdals were also reached there and all persons have
arranged the funeral of the Abdal person. After the funeral,
Shaikh Abdul Quader told Hazrat Khizer to bring such and such
infidel person from Constantpole and present him here. Hazrat
Khizer presents him immediately in the service of Shaikh Abdul
Quader. And he was made Muslim and was appointed as the
post of Abdal. And after that, he told the remaining Abdals that
upon the place of the deceased Abdal he has appointed this
person as Abdal. And upon this, all Abdals have bent their heads
before him.

84. He has given that woman seven boys

One day one woman came into his service and she has requested
Shaikh Abdul Quader to pray in the court of Allah for the grant of
children. So he went into meditation and checked the tablet and
was not find any children in the luck of that woman. Then he was
prayed for 2 sons. There was heard invisible call from a court of
Allah that there is not written any boy for that woman. Then he
was questioned for 2 boys and then he was questioned for 3
boys. And he has received the same reply as before. Then he was
questioned about 4 boys and then he has received the same
reply as before. Then he was questioned for 7 boys and he was
heard calling “Oh Ghouse it is enough. “And there was also
received glad tiding that a woman will be granted, 7 boys.

85. The girl became a boy

Hadrat Abul Mali said one time one person came into the
presence of Shaikh Abdul Quader and he has said that this shrine
building which is as the asylum of the world and the center of
 61

one’s hopes and from here he is requesting a male child. After

this, that person who used to come into the presence of
benediction, the sheikh of time and he used to say some time in
Indication and sometimes he used to say in describing his wish
and as the person of desire will be as a mad person. When his
request was exceeded, then sheikh told him that not disturb me
a number of times in this matter and whatever you want I have
seen him in his mother’s womb. When the pregnancy days were
over then the baby girl was born instead of a baby boy so he has
taken his girl child and came into the presence of the sheikh of
the world and he told him that “ He has requested for the male
child for him.” Then he told him that “ Cover the baby girl in the
cloth and go back to your house and see what will be there
happen by invisible source?.” When he has reached back to his
house then he has found a baby boy instead of a baby girl.

86. The thief was appointed on the post of Abdal

Hazrat Dawud said that in the court of Shaikh Abdul Quader

there were used to come there all kinds of persons. The servants
of this shrine were people of wealth and richness. So one thief
thought shaikh of the shrine will be a person majesty and status
as well as a person of wealth. So he made his intention to go to
his house for robbery and to take away from his wealth and
treasure. When he was entered into the house and he became a
blind person. And all this matter was in his look. He thought that
this matter is against humility that he came to our house for
taking something and so it is not good to went away from here
with empty hands. Still in this thinking Hazrat Khizer came in his
service and told him that “ Oh dear Ghouse one Abdal died so
the order may be given so that there may be appointed some
other person on this post. He told that there is one broken heart
 62

person lying in our house bring him into our presence. So that he
may be appointed on this post. Hazrat Khizer went from there
and brought him in his presence. And due to one of his looks, he
made him an Abdal. ( Seerat Ghouse Saqlain)

87. His prayer changed the fate

Shaikh Abu Saeed Qurmi said that one-time Abul Muzaffar

merchant who went to see Hammad Dabbas and said to him that
“He has arranged one caravan and want to go to Syria.” Then he
told him that “ If you travel to Syria during this year, then you will
be killed in this journey. And all your goods and properties will be
damaged. ”Due to dis-appointment from that place, he went into
the presence of the Shaikh Abdul Quader and he has told him all
details in this matter. So Shaikh Abdul Quader told him to go. He
went on the journey with security. And he has sold away from his
goods for better profits. And one day he has reached Halab from
his return journey. And whatever with him the goods he has kept
in one place and went to attend the natural call. And when he
was free from it, then he forgot about his goods at that place.
When he went into his sleeping place then in his dream he has
seen that one Arabian group of robbers attacked his caravan of
the merchandise and they looted goods and killed the travelers.
One person came and cut his neck with a knife. When he was
waking up from the dream, then he has seen the mark of blood
on his neck and there was a pain in his neck. Then he was
thinking about his goods and group and he has remembered the
place where he has kept his goods. And he was going there and
found his goods at that place. And from Halab, he came to
Baghdad and he was thinking to whom he should see first. Shaikh
Hammad was going to Sultan Bazaar and who told him “Oh Abul
Muzafar first to go to see Shaikh Abdul Quader because he is a
 63

beloved person of Allah. And he prayed 17 times with Allah and

Allah was changed this event from wake up condition into the
dream and damaged of the goods which were changed to
forgetfulness.
When he went into the presence of the Shaikh Abdul Quader
then he told him that “Whatever Shaikh Hammad said in the
Bazaar of Sultan which is all right. There is the swearing of
respect of Allah upon me that for 17 times I have prayed to Allah,
then there was changed of your wake up killing in the dream and
damage of the goods which was changed to forgetfulness.”

88.The Shaikh Ahmed’s tiger and Shaik Abdul Quader’s dog

There was a great Saint by the name of Shaikh Ahmad Jaam

(Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) who used to travel on a lion wherever he
went. In every city that he visited it was his habit to ask the
people of the city to send one cow for his lion’s meal. One day he
traveled to Baghdad, and sent one of his disciples to Huzoor
Ghaus-e-Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) and commanded that a
cow be sent to him, as a meal for his lion. The great Ghaus
(Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) was already aware of his coming and had
already arranged for a cow to be kept for the lion. He sent one of
his disciples with the cow to Shaikh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu
Ta’ala Anh) and as the disciple took the cow with him, a weak
and old stray dog which used to sit outside the home of Huzoor
Ghaus-e-Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) followed him. The disciple
presented the cow to Shaikh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh)
who signaled to the lion to commence feeding. As the lion ran
towards the cow, this weak old dog pounced on the lion. It
caught the lion by its throat and killed it by tearing open its
stomach. The dog then dragged the lion and threw it before
Huzoor Ghaus-e- Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh). On seeing this,
 64

Shaikh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) humbled himself

before the great Ghaus (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) and asked for
forgiveness for his arrogant behavior. This shows the strength of
a weak old dog due to its Nisbath (connection) with the blessed
stoop of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh). It also
shows that even animals recognize and are loyal to the Awliya
Allah.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us true love for Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam
(Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) and may we, like the weak old dog,
always be at the feet and service of Sultan ul Awliya Hazrat
Shaikh Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh, Ameen.
(Tuhfa Quaderia)

89. Ghouse Azam and his visit to Kaba

Shaikh Abu Mohammed Saleh has stated that Shaikh Abu

Mohammed Madin has sent him to Baghdad in service of Shaikh
Abdul Quader for obtaining knowledge of Fakir persons there. He
was asked me to sit at the door of his residence for a period of
20 days. After 20 days while he was pointing toward Ka’aba he
told me to that “ Abu Saleh look at this side. When I have looked
at that side then he has asked me what you have seen at that
side.”? Then I have told that “I have visited Ka’aba” and after
that, he was pointed out towards the west and he was told me to
look at that side. When I have looked at that side then he has
asked me “What you have seen.”? So I have told him that I am
seeing my Shaikh Abu Madin. (Seerat Ghouse Saqlin)

90. The hands of the prophet on the head of Shaikh Abdul

Quader
 65

One time Shaikh Abdul Quader was reciting the following

couplet while standing at the mausoleum of the holy prophet in
Madina.

“ My sins are like waves of the sea but even more than it. And
like higher mountains. But even more than them. When the
Merciful Allah will forgive then it will become like a feather of the
mosquito. But even smaller than it.”

The second time when he was present there then he has

recited the following couplet and its meaning and interpretation
are as follows.
“ In the condition of a dream, I am sending my soul into your
service. It is kissing the earth from my side. And now I come
here. So stretch your hand so that my lips will become the pride
of kissing them.”
So at that time merciful hand of the prophet came outside of
his grave then he has shaken and kissed it and put it on his head.

91. Imam Hanbal embrace him by his chest

This tradition is reported by Ali Bin Haiti that one time I and
Shaikh Baqa Bin Batur went for a visit to the grave of Imam
Hanbal along with Shaikh Abdul Quader. At that time I have seen
Imam Ahmed Bin Hambal and details as follows.
Sheikh Sayyidi Baqaa (r.a) states that once he accompanied
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) to the tomb of Imam Ahmed bin
Hambal (r.a). He says: “I saw Sheikh Imam Ahmed bin Hambal’s
(r.a) grave split open, and I saw him emerge from his blessed
grave. He embraced al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a) and then said,
‘Even I am dependent on you in Tariqah’”.
 66

Imam Sahib came outside of his grave and he was embraced

by Shaikh Abdul Quader by his chest. And he was told that “Oh
Shaikh Abdul Quader I am helpless to you for the knowledge of
Islamic law Shariat and knowledge of reality as well as knowledge
of rapture.
(Safinatal Auliya, Seerat Ghouse Saqlain)

92.Saying of salam on the grave of Maroof Karqhi by Shaikh

Abdul Quader

This tradition is reported by Ali Bin Haiti that one time I went
with Shaikh Abdul Quader on the grave of Maroof Karqhi then he
told that “Salam oh Maroof we are one degree ahead of you. The
second time when he visited his grave that time, I was with him
and he told that “Salam oh Maroof Kargqhi we are two degrees
ahead of you. Then Hazrat Maroof Karqhi was replied from his
grave that “Oh leader of the time Walikum Salam.” (Bahijat Israr,
Seerat Ghouse Saqlain)

93. The quarrel between Muslim and Christian person

Shaikh Abdul Quader once going from one locality and he was
found there was a quarrel between one Muslim and one
Christian persons and he was asked the reason of quarrel. So the
Muslim person told that “This Christian person is telling that his
prophet superior to Muslim prophet. And I am saying our
prophet Mohammed is superior to his prophet Eisa. Then he
asked with Christian person to inform any reason for excellence.
So he told that he will used give life to the dead persons.Upon
hearing this Shaikh Abdul Quader told him that “He is not a
prophet but he is a slave of our prophet. And if I will give life to a
dead person then you will accept the religion of Islam.? So that
 67

Christain said yes he will accept the religion of Islam. Then he

told him to show any old grave so that you have faith in the
excellence of our prophet. The Christain showed him one old
grave. He was addressed to the Christain and asked him what his
prophet say by giving life to the dead persons. The Christin told
him that “ He used to say Qum Bizin Allah’. He told him that
person of the grave who used to work in the world as singer and
music work. If you want I can do that he will stand from his grave
by singing and by making music. The Christain told him that “ Yes
it is required like this.” He by paying his attention told Qum Bizin

by singing. When the Christian has seen this miracle and he has
accepted the religion of Islam in his hands of righteousness.

94. His holy name is a great name

One women’s boy was died by drowning in the river water.

That woman came into service of Shaikh Abdul Quader and she
has told that “Your honour my boy died by drowning in the river
water. I have faith that you can give life to my boy and so return
my boy to me. “He told him you go to your house then you will
find your boy in your house.” She went to the house but could
not find his boy there. Then the second time she came into his
service and began weeping there. And he told him” To go to her
house then you will find your boy in your house.” Then she
went to the house but could not find his boy there. The third
time she by weeping and crying went into his service then he did
meditation and by moving his head he told that “You go to your
house then you will find your boy in your house.” She went to
the house and but could find his boy there. Shaikh Abdul Quader
in the condition of his love he told “ Oh Allah you have made my
condition of regret for two times before that woman.” There
 68

came a call came from the side of Allah that “In your
conversation there is truth. But first-time angles have gathered
his different parts. And the second time I have given life to him.
And the third time I have taken out from the river and sent to his
house. He told “Oh Allah you created all the world by word be
(kun) and in which there was no delay. And on the day of
judgment, you will gather different parts of the persons at one
moment and in which there will be no delay at all. And for the
collection of the body parts of one person and giving life to him
and sending to the house is a partial thing. At last, what is
wisdom in it.”? There was a call from the side of Allah whatever
you can ask which will be given to your broken heart. Upon
hearing this Shaikh Abdul Quader went into prostration and he
said that “Oh, Allah I am your creation and my demand should be
at the level of the creation. You are the creator and your offer
should be according to your greatness and as per the creator”.
Then there was an address of Allah to him that “One who will see
you then he will become nearness in the court of Allah. And if
you look earth then it will become gold.” Then he told that “ Oh
Allah I do not have benefit from these two things. And grant such
thing which is more important than above two things. And which
will continue after my death. So that it will give benefit to the
people in both worlds. So there came a call in which was heard
that “I have effect and result of your names with my names and
one who calls you name is as such that he has called my name.”
(Tafrid Qatir)

95.The snatching of the souls from angel Israel

There was the death of one of the servants of the Shaikh Abdul
Quader. And his wife while crying and weeping came into his
service. And she told him that her husband should be given life.
 69

He was done meditation and was seen by knowledge of manifest

that angel Azreal (Azrael, Arabic ʿIzrāʾīl or ʿAzrāʾīl, in Islam,
the angel of death who separates souls from their bodies; he is
one of the four archangels (with Jibrīl, Mīkāl, and Isrāfīl) was
going to the sky by collecting all souls of that day. He told angel
Azreal to stop and to give away the soul of such and such person.
And angel Azrael and the Islamic counterpart of the Judeo-
Christian angel of death, who is sometimes called Azrael told him
that he is going to the sky by collecting the souls of the persons
as per the order of Allah. And present souls in the court of Allah.
So how it is possible to give the soul of that person to you which
was taken by me as per the order of Allah. He was insisting on
this matter but angel Azreal did not agree and he has one
haversack in which there were souls of the persons of that day
which were collected by him. So by the power of the love of the
friend he was taken away haversack of souls from angel Azreal
and due to this reason scattered the souls and were return back
to their bodies. Angel Azreal in hymn was told “Oh Allah you
know well what was happened in between me and your beloved
friend Abdul Quader. And he has seen snatched all souls of the
persons.” He was heard reply by Allah that no doubt Ghouse
Azam is my friend and my beloved but why you did not give back
the soul of the servant of the Abdul Quader.? If you would have
returned back one soul then all other souls would not return
back to their human bodies. (Tafrid Qater)

96. Causing death upon saying

the name without ablution

It is written in Gulzar Mani that in the beginning there was an

overpowering of majestic upon him that one person who said his
 70

name without ablution then his head will be cut from his body.

people will take my name and creator’s name without manners.”
Shaikh Abdul Quader by paying mercy on the nation of his
grandfather has left his condition for this matter. (Tafrid Qater)

97. There will be available respect by the blessing of his name

The holy persons have said that when his condition of majestic
was well known then at that time nobody will holy say his name
without ablution due to fear of death. The holy persons of
Baghdad went in his service and they have said that “Your
honour pay mercy to the people and forgive this strictness.” He
said that he did not like the condition but Allah has addressed
me and said that “You have given respect to me so we will also
give respect to your name. And one who gives respect to his
name will become honorable.” (Tafrih Qartir)

98.His remembrance is the cure of every disease

The holy persons have said that somebody who will

say his holy name without ablution then will face scarcity and
poverty. And one owes offering of his name so then he should
fulfill it so that he may not any face problem. One who cooks
sweet on Thursday and recites verse Fatah and passes this
reward to his soul and distribute sweet among the Fakir persons
and if he will need help in any of his work then Shaikh Abdul
Quader will help him in this matter. And if any person if some
time spends some amount on food and recite on it ks and send it
 71

to reward on his holy soul then his difficulties of religion and

world will be solved. One who will say his holy name sincerity
and with ablution then he will be good and happy indeed
throughout the day time. And Allah will remove all of the sins
written in his name. (Tafrih Qatir)

used to read Hezar Yamani and due to its excess of daily recital
in the beginning period there will be prevailed condition of
majestic upon him that like the sword to cut the neck of the
atheist persons. And arrow of reaching liver of the enemy
persons. So among atheists and unprogressive persons who will
say his name without ablution so his neck was cut by the sword
of Allah. In the revelation, there was a meeting of the prophet.
And he told him that “You have become sword so discontinue
reading of Hezar Yamani now.” So upon this, he has
discontinued reading this for some time. Afterward, upon order
of the prophet, he began reading it.

100. There is a sword under the empyrean

One holy person said in the court of Shaikh Abdul Quader that
“To give salvation to the people.” Then he told him to engage in
meditation. And he was seen in mediation one sword hanging
under the empyrean and upon it, bees were falling and cut
themselves into two pieces. Then he was told” To open his eyes
and he said bees are fighting with this sword. And from it, there
will be many benefits. And in all conditions who will hold the
edge of shirt of forgiveness and salvation firmly. And the
opposite and atheist persons who will involve in killing due to
 72

disrespect. He said that “My sword is well known. And the bow is
ready. And arrow it at the target. And the horse is fixed with the
saddle. I am burning the fire of Allah.” Upon recommendation of
the people of Baghdad, he was withdrawn his condition of
majestic against the people enmity.

Miya Azmatallah Bin Qazi Emad Bin Miya Nizam Mohamed Bin
Shah Bin Mohammed one learned and holy person of his time

lived in Burhanpor. And his house and our house were near in
the locality. He was a great devotee of Shaikh Abdul Quader and
who used to think of himself as a disciple of the shaikh of time.
Every year he used to cook many kinds of food dishes and call
for learned and fakir persons on his eating carpet. And arrange
lights and torches for lighting. He will arrange many decorations
in the meeting place and there found many kinds of scents and
aroma there. He will do all such things due to the love and
devotion of Shaikh Abdul Quader. When he died then he was
placed on the wood and placed ghee upon him and mike fire
upon his dead body. Due to the kindness and favour of Allah,
there was no effect of the fire on his corpse. When Hindus have
seen this they began a discussion of many kinds among them.
And at last, they agreed that he should be thrown in the running
water. When he was thrown in the running water then Shaikh
Abdul Quader advised one holy person in a dream that such and
such Hindu is my spiritual son and his name is well known as Sad
Allah among holy persons of Allah. Give him funeral wash and
bury him and you pray his funeral prayer and then buried him by
yourself.No doubt there is the promise of Allah with me that he
will safe from the fire of hell for my disciple in both worlds. And I

his heart. As fingers of the hand are in the shape of word Allah.
And at the same time, he has seen Allah. When there was well
known this matter among the people and they have asked in this
matter so he told that this is one favour and this is one benefit of
that night in which Shaikh Abdul Quader was given to me. And
the reason for his name Shah Naqshband is the fixation of the
mark of great name in his heart. (Tafrid Qater)

104. He made rejected person as accepted one

During the period of Shaikh Abdul Quader, there was taken

away his saintliness from one holy person. And small and big
persons told him as rejected one. He went into the presence of
360 holy persons and all have prayed in the court of Allah for his
recommendation but their requested was not accepted. And all
have seen that his name was not written on the tablet as unlucky
and miserable. And this information was given to him that he will
not come back at his previous status. Upon hearing this his face
was becoming black. At last, he went into service of Shaikh Abdul
Quader. And he told him that if you have rejected a person then
he can make him an accepted person by unfortunate person of
Allah. He was prayed for him and then he has heard an invisible
call in which it was heard that whether do you know that 360
holy persons have prayed for him but their request was not
accepted as his name is written, an unfortunate person. Shaikh
Abdul Quader requested Allah that you have empowered to
make an unfortunate person an accepted one. If there is your
decision that he will be unlucky then why have prayed for him as
an accepted person. Then he was heard that “ I have to
surrender him to you so you can make him as per likeness. And
your rejected person is rejected one for me too. Then he has
 75

given him the order to wash his mouth. And Allah has added his
name to the list of pure persons. Oh Ghouse Azam I have given
you all powers of dismissal and appointment and your rejected
person and is my rejected person and your accepted
a person is my accepted person.

have killed this boy in just away.” And by refusing I told him that
“ By God swearing, I did not kill him. This is false charge by your
servants upon me.” They told their king that “ there is blood on
his hand and his staff is proof in this killing.” When I have seen
my staff and found there was blood on it. When it was asked
about it then I have told that I have killed one black snake and it
was the blood of that snake. The king told that “Oh ignorance
person that snake is my son.”Upon hearing this he was surprised
and was paid attention to the
Qazi and told him that “This person has accepted his killing. So

(Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) lived in Ceylon. One day she was attacked
in a lonely place by a man intending to dishonor her. Helpless,

master my camels were missing with goods.” And during this
time he has seen one holy person in white dress and he was
 79

there and by his edge, he was giving a signal to come at his side.
When I went to his side then he did not find the pious person
there. But I found the camels with my goods at that place.
112. The stamp of Shaikh Abdul Quader on the status of
saintliness
There is a tradition that Hazrat Shah Hashim who was written
in his magazine that when Allah wants to make any person holy
then he will give an order to present in the court of his noble
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). When he will be sent
into the court of the prophet then the prophet will give the order
to send that person to his dear son Abdul Quader so that he can
check whether he is eligible for saintliness or not.? Then he will
send to the court of Shaikh Abdul Quader and if he will suitable
then he will write his name in the register of Mohammadan
people and put his signature on it. Then he will send in the court
of the prophet. In the letter of Shaikh Abdul Quader, it will be
written that as per the order of the prophet and he will be
intimate about the dress of saintliness. And which given to him
by hands of Shaikh Abdul Quader. And that person will be given
the saintly dress and so he will become well known and famous
in the world of invisible and witness. In this post, Shaikh Abdul
Quader will be there till the day of judgment. On this status, no
other holy person is not equal and partner of him. Always and in
every time Ghouse ( ) Qutub and all holy persons will be
benefitted from him.
113.Change of the religion upon the advice of the
prophet
The author of Tafrih Qater written that one day there was
came thinking of changing the religion in the mind of Shaikh
Abdul Quader and the same night he has seen the prophet along
with companions. And Imam Hanbal by holding his beard in a
standing position he is requesting in the presence of the prophet
 80

“Oh prophet tell your dear son Mohiuddin Abdul Quader to help
me. He was by smiling told Oh Abdul Quader to accept his
request. So on the advice of the prophet he has accepted the
religion of Imam Hanbal. And on the Fajr prayer, he was
performed on the prayer carpet of Hanbali. On that day except
for the leader, there was no follower there so that there may not
be organized congregational prayer in the mosque. Upon his
arrival, there was so much rush of mankind that there was not
left even a small space in the mosque there. The narrator said
that “If Shaikh Abdul Quader would not lead the Fajr morning
congregation prayer on the prayer carpet of Hanbali then the
religion of Hanbali (school ) would be rooted out from the world.
114.Giving of the shirt to Shaikh Abdul Quader by Imam Hanbal
One day Shaikh Abdul Quader went to visit the grave of Imam
Hanbal along with a group of holy persons. And he has seen that
his grave was split and Imam Hanbal came out of his grave with
one shirt in his hand. And which he was given to Shaikh Abdul
Quader and shake his hands. And then he said that “ Syed Abdul
Quader in the knowledge of Islamic and mystic way and
knowledge of Halal (Dhabīḥah (‫ )َذ ِبْي َح ة‬is the prescribed method of
slaughter for all meat sources, excluding fish and other sea-life,
per Islamic law) you are alone and one.”
115. One question of Imam Azam (Imam Abu Hanifa) with
Shaikh Abdul Quader
Author of Tafrih Qater has written that Hazrat Imam Azam
has visited Shaikh Abdul Quader in a spiritual way. And he said
that “Oh Imam Auliya in the Islamic why you have adopted the
religion of Imam Hanbal. As I have lived in the company of your
ancestor Imam Jaffer Sadiq for a period of two years and was
benefited by him. Then Imam Abu Hanifa told that” If these two
years of his age in which I was benefitted by Imam Jaffer Sadiq
which will not be there then I
 81

(Noman ) would have been dying.”Then he told that there are

two reasons for it.
1. His religion was become weak due to fewer followers of his
religion.
Imam Ahmed Hanbal is an indigent person and I am also an
indigent person and my grandfather has demanded indigence
from Allah. So the prophet told “Oh Allah keep me in the
condition of indigence and bring death in the condition
of indigence and raise him among indigent people on the day
judgment.”There is shining of light found on the forehead of his
disciples

116. There is shining of light on the foreheads of his disciples

One Shaikh Baqa Bin Batu told that “I have seen disciple of
Shaikh Abdul Quader in the meeting of holy persons as such that
there is shining of light on the foreheads of his disciples.” One
person has questioned him pious and sinner disciples. And he
said that my pious disciple is for me and and I am for the sinner
disciple”

117. His holy name is a cure for all problems and difficulties

Hazrat Jalaluddin Bukhari said that if there is the effect of Jinn

for anybody then say into his ear “Ya Hazrat shaikh Qutub Alam
Muhi al-Haq Wa-din Syed Abdul Quader Al-Jilani” recite and blow
into his hear year then Jinn will be fled from him for this reason.
If there is an infidel army attack on Islamic country and if there is
fear of robbers then at that time take black soil from the earth
and recite the name of Ghouse Azam upon it and throw that soil
on that side.As said by Shaikh Abdul Quader that if any person
does as such by throwing the earth in the eyes of the enemy. So
 82

Allah will make blind the enemy. And on them, Allah will send his
anger and fury. If any person is in difficulty and prayer for sake of
Shaikh Abdul Quader then Allah will take away from his difficulty.
And he will be free from humility. And he will find happiness. And
one who will get a dress of his caliphate then not only he will free
from the difficulty of the two words as well as he will reach to
higher grade status. Because he has prayed especially for
disciples and devotees and he is Qutub of the world and his
prayers are acceptable in the court of Allah.

118. The promise of Allah with Shaikh Abdul Quader

Shaikh Najibuddin Suherwardi said that one day he was with

Hazrat Shaikh Hammad bin Muslim and Shaikh Abdul Quader was
also available there. At that time Shaikh Abdul Quader said a big
conversation. So then Shaikh Hammad told “Oh Shaikh Abdul
Quader you have told the strange matter. You have no fear that
Allah will degrade you.”Then Shaikh Abdul Quader has put his
holy hand on his chest and asked him to see by eyes of his heart
what is written on my hand.” Hammad was done meditation and
he was seen. Then he was taken away his hand from his chest so
Shaikh Hammad told him and which is as follows.
“There is no doubt he has permanent promise for 70 times with
Allah that Allah will not degrade him from a position of status.”
Then Shaikh Hammad told him that there is no fear for you,
there is no fear for you. He said this two times and this is the
grace of Allah to be given by him to any person. And he is the
owner of great grace.”

119. Reaching Baghdad from Jerusalem in one step by one the

disciple
 83

In the book Bahijatal Israr it is written that Shaikh Sadqa

Baghdadi said some phrases which were against apparently the
Islamic law of Shariah. The caliph was informed of this matter. So
he was given an order to take him into the Qazi court for t. When
shaikh was reached there then they have made naked his head.
Upon seeing one disciple of the shaikh was cried. The person
who was decided t and then his hands became crippled. And
Allah has put horror in the heart of the Qazi. When the minister
was known in this matter and Allah has put horror in the heart of
the minister. When the caliph was able to know in this matter
then there was horror in his heart. And he has given the order to
release him. Upon the release, he went into cour of Shaikh Abdul
Quader. He was seen there that saints and general persons were
present there sitting for the start of the sermon and Shaikh Abdul
Quader came there and he was sat in the circle of saintly people.
Shaikh Abu Masood Ahmed bin Abu Baker Harami Attar and
Shaikh Abu Abdalla Mohammed bin Gaid and who said that “One
day Shaikh Abdul Quader who was standing on the pulpit still
he was not told anything or the Quran reciter did not read by
that time. But there was a prevailed rapture of the audience of
the meeting. Shaikh Sadqa who was present at that time and he
thought in his heart what is the reason for this rapture.? Then
Shaikh Abdul Quader paid attention to him and he said that “Oh
Sheikh one of my disciples who came to here from Masjid al-
Aqsa (Bayt al- Maqdis) in one step. And he was repentance in this
matter. And the audience is his host. Then Shaikh Sadqa thought
again that the man who came here from Masjid al-Aqsa (Bayt al-
Maqdis) in one step and why he has repented and what there
will be the requirement of the sheikh for him.? Then Shaikh
Abdul Quader told him that “Oh Sheikh he has repented that
again he will not fly in the air. And he has a need with me for the
teaching of the knowledge of the love of Allah.”
 84

After this Shaikh Abdul Quader said that “ My sword is like

ready and my bow is ready for blowing action. And the target of
my arrow is without mistake. And spear is straight, and my horse
with saddles, and I am a burning fire of my God. I am the person
to seizure the conditions. And I am an endless sea. I am line of
reasoning of the time.
`
(Tafrid Qatir)

120. His Sight on Lauh-e-Mahfooz (The Protected Tablet)

It is written in one narration that Sheikh Abul Hafs (r.a) states:

“Our Sheikh Abd al-Qaadir Jilani (r.a) used to fly in the air and
would say, ‘The sun does not rise before presenting Salams in my
court. By the Wrath and Honour of Allah! All the good and bad
persons are before my sight. My eyes are fixed firmly on Lauh-e-
Mahfooz. Time and again, I immerse myself in the sea of
knowledge and wisdom blessed by Allah and I am the Sign
(Nishaan) of Allah to the people, and the specially appointed
representative of my forefather, Nabi Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬and I
are his viceroys on this earth.’

121. Two flags of his saintliness

One time there was a discussion of Shaikh Abdul Quader with

Shaikh Hammad then he was told that he has seen two flags of
saintliness on the head of Shaikh Abdul Quader and which fixed
from the lower region to the angelic world. And I was heard in
the higher horizon saying by one person with the title of Siddiq
( truthful) to him.
 85

122. The generosity of 40 horses

The author of the book Tafrih Qater was entred one event
and he has written that in the region of Aqsa when he has heard
the fame of Shaikh Abdul Quader then he has a fondness to visit
him. In that fondness by the journey, he came to Baghdad. And
he went on the way to the stable of Shaikh Abdul Quader and he
has seen that there 40 higher kinds of horses are there. And fixed
in peg of gold and silver. And cradles are made of silk. And there
was came thought in his heart that holy persons of Allah do not
demand the world and worldly things. The things I have seen
here do not find even with the kings. This shows the argument of
the demand of the world and its love. Due to evil-minded, he did
not stay in the shrine building and he stayed in the house of
some other person. And affected by one serious illness. And
doctors said it is an incurable disease caused to him. And one
Hakeem (doctor) told that he will be getting healthy if there will
be given livers of such and such kind of 40 horses. The people
told that these kinds of horses except Shaikh Abdul Quader
which will not found at another place. So the people have a
discussion in this matter there will be asking in the court of
Shaikh Abdul Quader and he is Syed of generosity and they will
not come back empty from his court. The people have asked with
him for such kind race of horses with him. He was given an order
to give them one horse. When they came the next day then he
was told to be given 40 horses on the basis of one horse daily.
They daily ask him for a horse and he used to give one horse to
them. When that person was becoming well then all people
came to his court to thank him. He told to that person that the
horses you have seen I have purchased for you. Because when
you have left on a journey towards me from your house for love
and fondness of mine then I was able to know that you will be
 86

suffered by such and such disease and for such complaint, there
is no other cure of that disease is 40 livers of the such and such
kind of horses. So then I have purchased for you. When you have
passed from the stable of horses and have seen pegs and bridal
of horses you have evil-minded from me and have stayed in
another house. Then it was happened as such as per your fate.
Upon hearing this he was repentant for his bad thinking and was
requested with his forgiveness and was become his devotee. He
was given pegs and bridle to the Hakeem (doctor) and who
Christian before but upon hearing this story was accepted Islam
religion on his hands of reality.

123. He has .answered questions of a hundred

jurists

It is well known that the lectures of al-Ghawth al-A’zam (r.a)

attracted scores of scholars to Baghdad from all over the world.
Once, a hundred Jurists formed a group and each one chose a
difficult question. They all decided to present themselves in the
gathering of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) and each would ask
his question during the lecture in an attempt to cause Sheikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani (r.a) to be confused. The one hundred Jurists
chose what they thought to be the most difficult question and
traveled to Baghdad. They sat in the gathering of Sheikh Abdul
Qadir Jilani (r.a) waiting for the appropriate time to ask their
questions. It was during this gathering that a bright ray of light
emerged from the blessed chest of al-Ghawth al-A'zam (r.a) and
traveled into the heart of each of the one hundred Jurists. This
light could only be seen by them and to those whom Almighty
Allah desired to see. As this light entered their hearts, each one
of them entered a state of spiritual ecstasy. Each one of them fell
at the feet of al-Ghawth al-A'zam (r.a) and repented from their
 87

improper intentions. The great Saint, with great compassion,

embraced each one of them, filling their hearts with Noor, and at
the same time answering every one of their questions, even
though they had not asked.

angry with anybody for his personal sake. Except for the will of
Allah he did not help any person. And will not send any beggar
empty from his door. Even there will be one question of two
clothes wear by him on his body. And divine help was his coverlet
and support of Allah was his assitant and knowledge was
civilization. And the nearness of Allah was his manner. And
discourse was his treasure. And knowledge was his helper. And
love was his friend. And expansion was his habit. And the truth
was his flag. victory wash is capital. And the order was his work.
Remembrance was his minister. And the address was his advisor
And sight was his ambassador and thought was his storyteller.
And the revelation was his food. And the revelation was his cure
for him. And manners of Islamic law (Shariat) was his appearance
and attributes of reality were his secrets of innermost.

125. All his disciple of belongs to heaven

 88

The author of the book Tarih Qater who has written by reference
to Bahijatal Israr that Shaikh Abdul Quader said he was given a
lengthy book and in which names of friend persons and all names
of disciples till the day of judgment day all their names will be
found in it. And it is said that all these names were handed over
to you. I have asked with a guard of the hell that whether any of
my disciples are there in your hell and who told that no. then he
was told that for there is swearing for me for the respect and
majesty of Allah that my hands are as such on my disciples like
sky controlling on the earth. If my disciple is not good then I am
good. And for me, there is the swearing of respect and m that I
will not leave the court of Allah unless and until I will not take my
disciples to the heaven.

126. There is favour of his look upon his every disciple

Shaikh Qutub Bin Ashraf Rumi was written in his book Mazji
Nafas that Shaikh Abdul Quader said that “If his disciple is not
pious then he is enough for him. By God’s swearing, my hands
are on my disciple. If he will be there in the East, and if I am in
the West and If my disciple’s hiding will be open it means he has
done any mistake then from the long distance I will stretch my
hands and cover his mistake.
God swearing that I will stand on the door of hell on the day of
the judgment till such that all my disciples passed away from
there. There is the promise of Allah that he will not put any of my
disciples into hell. One who says as my disciple then I will accept
him and include him in my disciples. And will pay attention to
him. I have to take promise by Monkir and Nakir that he will not
afraid my disciples in the graves.

Shaikh Arif Abu Mohammed Shader Sabsti Mahalli said that

“He came to Baghdad to visit him there and I stayed in his house.
And after some period of time for endeavor, he was intended to
go Egypt and he has asked his permission to leave from Baghdad.
Then he told shaikh that he should not ask anything on the way
of his journey and upon saying this he has put two fingers into his
mouth and told him to suck it very much. I was able to
understand his matter. Then he told me to return back. Shaikh
Arif came to Egypt from Baghdad. And he said on the way he did
not eat anything but his health was very good than before.

128. Visiting of his grave is the felicity of the two words

Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Rifai used to advise his disciples to visit

Shaikh Abdul Quader. One day one person came to see him upon
his visit to Baghdad. Then he told him that “ When you go to
Baghdad then you first visit Shaikh Abdul Quader if he is living
and if he will be died then visit his m blessed grave. Because
there is the promise of Allah that one who goes to Baghdad and
did not visit him then his condition will be unlucky. Even if he will
unlucky then he has copies his saying as follows.
“ Unlucky is such a person who did not visit him.”

129. Given the information of his death before seven days

 90

death than at the evening time angel Izrail has brought one
closed envelope from the side of Allah and given to his son
Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Wahab. There was the following writing on
the backside of the envelope which is as follows.
“ From friend to reach his beloved.”

Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Wahab wept upon seeing that letter. And
he went to see his father along with angel Izrail. Seven days
before this he was got information of his shifting to the world of
celestial and for this, he was very much happy in this matter. And
he has prayed for his disciples, friends, sincere persons for
salvation. And from all of them, he has already an agreement of
intercession on the day of judgment.

130. Twelve years old drowned large boat was recovered safely

One day of Shaikh Abdul Quader went to the riverside for fun
purposes there and he saw some women came there for the
collection of river water in their pots. All women filled the water
in the pots and went away from the riverside but one 90 years
old woman was still there and she has filled her pot with water
and put it on the riverside and she began loud and cry there.
When Shaikh Abdul Quader was heard her loud and cry then he
was told that some cruel person has done severe cruelty to her.
So she is making loud and there. God knows in which trouble she
is passing. One of his one of servant told him that “ He knows
well about details of this old woman that why she did loud and
cry and he said that “She has her one son and who was the very
smart son and the old lady was arrange the marriage of her son
with splendid and pomp and show. Upon its grand arrangement,

bridge groom was taking back his bride after marriage to his
house. And he was boarded on the large boat on the riverside
and the boat was drowned in the river water. All party of the
marriage was drowned in the river water. This event happened
12 years ago. This old woman is still feeling the sad and tragic
event. And she used to come on the riverside on the pretext of
water but engage daily in the loud and cry. When Shaikh Abdul
Quader has heard her story then there came waves in the river of
the kindness of Ghouse Azam. He told his servant to go
immediately there and give satisfaction and assurance from our
side and ask her not to do loud and cry and have patience for
some time then her will and wishes will be fulfilled. The old
woman has heard his message but she did not satisfy with this
matter and she began louder and cry than before. Then he told
his servant to go and say the old woman that “ Your son will
come back with all his all his goods with which he was drowned
in the river water. So have some patience and watch what will be
happening from the veil of the invisible.? When his message was
preached to the woman then she became silent. He was raised
his hands and prayer in the court of Allah to accept his prayer
and for 2 or 4 minutes did not happen anything so Shaikh Abdul
Quader said “Oh Allah why there is so much delay.?” There was
received reply that “ Oh my dear beloved this delay is not against
fate and policy as our works are done by easy going. If we want
then create sky and earth by word be (Kun) but as per the
requirement of wisdom purpose, we have created in six days
time. This event happened 12 years ago now there is no sign of
the boat and also there are no small particles of human flesh are
found. And all flesh was eaten by river animals. Upon collection
of small particles and again there is an arrangement of the
process of life for them and now there is time near of their
 92

arrival. Still, this conversation was not completed then and from
the storm, that boat came out with all goods, and bridegroom
and bride all other marriage party persons came safely from the
river water. When the old woman has seen his miracle then she
was fallen on his foot and marriage party persons after taking
permission left from him and have come back to their house with
pomp and show. Upon hearing this event many thousand
persons have accepted Islamic religion on his hands.
