Abd al-Qadir Jilani

Abd al-Qadir Jilani, a leading Sufi figure of the 12th century, has been touching the lives of people for centuries. As Dilaver Gürer describes, Abd al-Qadir Jilani has always been elemental to Islamic culture, history and Islamic sciences through the order he founded, the Qadiriyyah. Since then, the Sufi views of Abd al-Qadir Jilani and the Qadiriyyah order have functioned as an elaborate part of the fabric of Muslims’ lives, both on material and spiritual planes. This book is a humble contribution to the history of Sufism as an introduction to the life of this great historical figure, Abd al-Qadir Jilani, his life, his Sufi views, and history of the Qadiriyyah order.
