'78' Discourses by Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah be pleased with him. 


Perhaps the most well known collection of the great Shaykh's discourses. These short and powerful discourses cover topics of interest to every seeker of the spiritual path. A glimpse at the some of the topics covered will reassure the reader that the Shaykh is addressing issues that are as pertinent in this day and age as the day he spoke about them so many hundreds of years ago.


Here is a small sample of the [78] discourses :

• ---On passing beyond the creation;
• ---On drawing near to Allah Almighty;
• ---On fear and hope;
• ---On trust and its stages;
• ---On how the contact [wusul] with Allah is attained;
• ---On not complaining;
• ---On the classification of the seeker's state;
• ---On the two conditions of the self [nafs];
• ---On the reason for the trials borne by certain believers;
• ---On the seeker and the sought. 

Sultan al-Awliya; Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah sanctify his secret, born near the Caspian Sea, in a town called Jilan, is one of the most venerated figures in tasawwuf.  The venerable Ghawth 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah sanctify his secret, is noted for his extraordinary spiritual experiences and exploits, as well as his memorable sayings and wise teachings. It is rightly said of him that 'he was born in love, grew in perfection, and met his Lord in the perfection of love.


The shaykh passed on to the Realm of Divine Beauty in 561_A.H /1166 _C.E and his mausoleum in Baghdad attracts millions of pilgrims from throughout the globe.
