Ghaus-e-A’zam
(REHMATULLAH ALAEIH) states that in the beginning, he remained passionate about
calling towards good and prohibiting evil day and night. He described himself
as being restless about propagating the Quran and Sunnah to the extent that he
could not even control himself. He says: ‘Even if two or three people were
before me, I would begin to tell them about Quran and Sunnah. Then, a large
crowd of people would gather before me, resulting in no space being left in the
gathering. I therefore went to the ground of the Eid prayer and would preach
there. There was also no space left there either, and so people placed the
pulpit outside the city. There, countless people would arrive on their
conveyance and on foot and stand outside the gathering and listen to the
address. To the extent that the number of attendees reached near seventy
thousand (70,000).’
A discourse
on 13 subjects Shaykh Abdul Wahhab Sha’rani; Shaykh Abdul Haq, the Hadees
scholar of Delhi; and ‘Allamah Muhammad Bin Yahya Halabi (RA)[1] write: ‘Sayyiduna
Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (REMATULLAH
ALAEIH) would deliver a discourse on 13
subjects.’ Allamah
Sha’rani (REHMATULLAH
ALAEIH) states at another place: ‘People would study Quranic Commentary,
Hadees, Fiqh and Theology with Shaykh Abdul Qaadir (REHMATULLAH ALAIEH) at his
Madrassa. Both before the afternoon and after, he (REHMATULLAH ALAIEH) would
teach people Quranic Commentary, Hadees, Fiqh, Theology, Usool and Syntax.
After Zuhr, he would teach the Quran with the [different] recitations.’
(Akhbar-ul-Akhyar, p. 11) Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (REHMATULLAH ALAIEH) Would
deliver a speech three times in a week: at the Madrassa on Friday morning and
Tuesday evening, and at the inn on a Sunday morning.’
The
repentance of more than 100,000 non-practising people
In his
gatherings, there would be 400 elite scholars who would write his speech. In
his gathering, sometimes he (REHMATULLAH ALAIEH) would levitate a few feet and
then sit back on his chair. He (REHMATULLAH
ALAIEH) said: ‘I wish that I could live how I used to in the jungles, where
people do not see me, and I do not see them.’ He then added: ‘Allah Almighty
wanted me to benefit people, because more than 500 Jews and Christians accepted
Islam at my hands, and more than 100,000 non-practising people repented at my
hands, and this is a great virtue.’
Wa’zoon
ki tayray murshid hay dhoom chaar janib
Mayn bhi kabhi to sun loon meetha kalam kehna
Jalwah
dikhana murshid kalimah parhana murshid
Jis dam ho zindagi ka labrayz jaam kehna
Attar
ko bula kar murshid galay laga kar
Phir khoob muskura kar kerna kalam kehna
