Description :
The
Malfuzat, are the Utterances or Sayings of Sayyadina al-Ghawth al-A'zam, Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani,
may Allah be pleased with him. This is a collection of sayings, anecdotes and short talks on various topics of immense value to the reader.
" You must acquire certitude (yaqin) after self-examination (muhasaba),
for it is the kernel (lubb) of faith (iman). Only with certitude can the
obligatory religious duties (fara'id) be properly discharged.
Only with certitude can one put this world in its proper place."
It is in this book the Noble Shaykh twice mentions that
wilayat [sainthood] should be the goal of every Muslim, that is to say, that it is not beyond the aspiration of the common man to become a
wali [Friend of Allah]. The shaykh has lifted our eyes out of the dust and set them in the direction of the most exalted levels, may Allah [
Exalted is He] be pleased with him.
