"... these letters comprise nuggets of wisdom and spiritual counsel ''
--- couched in various forms of allegory, metaphor,
paraphrase and quotation, including approximately
two hundred and seventy-five Qur'anic verses.
They also contain allusions to the experiences [adhwaq] and spiritual states [halat] of the Sufis (may Allah's good pleasure be conferred upon them all).
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.
