(Al-Baz Publishing, Inc., Florida, 1997)Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (may Allah be pleased with him) is the Sultan-ul-Awliya, i.e. Crown of the Saints and most erudite scholar of the Islamic tradition, and the fountainhead of the Qadri Spiritual Order. He was born in the Iranian district of Gilan, south of the Caspian Sea, in 470 Hijri (1077-8 CE). Having lived a life of extreme piety, sacrifice, service, and devotion to Allah Almighty and His Messenger , he passed onto the Realm of Divine Beatitude on the 11th of Rabi-uth-Thani, 561 Hijri (1166 CE). He rests in the city of Baghdad, Iraq. His blessed mausoleum is a place of pious visitation from devotees around the world.
