Book Name:The Wise Words of Shaykh Abd al Qadir al Jilani
His son, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Wahhāb رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:
Great scholars and religious authorities would come to my father’s gatherings. Four hundred prominent scholars would regularly sit with paper and pen, writing his words and instructions.[1]
Shaykh ꜤUmar Kīmānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه says:
It was never the case that he delivered a discourse and nobody in the gathering repented. In every single sitting, people would repent. Many non-Muslims would recite the kalimah and embrace Islam.[2]
Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه himself said, “At my hands, more than five thousand non-Muslims accepted Islam, and over a hundred thousand sinners repented.”[3]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! The beautiful speeches of Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه were life-changing. People who heard them were inspired and moved. Fear of Allah Almighty and love for the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would flow into their hearts. They would feel regret for their sins, repent sincerely, and become righteous.
How fortunate are those who attain the honor of taking part in lessons and speeches in Dawat-e-Islami’s religious environment.
