Muḥyī-al-Dīn Abū Muḥammad b. Abū Sāleh ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Gīlānī (Persian: ‫عبدالقادر‬ ‫گیالنی‬, Arabic: ‫عبدالقادر الجیالني‬, Turkish: Abdülkâdir Geylânî, Kurdish: Evdilqadirê Geylanî, Sorani Kurdish: ‫)عهبدوالقادری گهیالنی‬,[3] known as ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī for short or reverently as Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī by Sunni Muslims, was a notable Sunni Hanbali preacher, orator, ascetic, mystic, jurist, and theologian[3] who became famous for being the eponymous founder of the Qadiriyya spiritual order of Sunni Sufism.[3] Born 29 Shaban 470 AH (around 1077) in the town of Na'if, district of Gilan-e Gharb, Gilan, Iran[4][nb 1][5] and died Monday, February 14, 1166 (11 Rabi' al-thani 561 AH), in Baghdad,[6] (1077–1166 CE), was a Persian[4] Hanbali Sunni[1][2] jurist and sufi based in Baghdad.

Name[edit] Gilani is granted the title Sayyid to indicate his descent from Muhammad.[8] The name Muhiyudin describes him as a "reviver of religion".[9] Gilan (Arabic al-Jilani) refers to his place of birth, Gilan.[10][11] However, Gilani also carried the epithet Baghdadi.[12][13][14]referring to his

residence and burial in Baghdad. He is also called al-Hasani wa'l-Husayni, which indicates a claim to lineal descent from both Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali, the sons of Ali and grandsons of Muhammad.[15][16]

Paternal heritage[edit] Gilani's father was from Sayyid lineage.[17][18] He was respected as a saint by the people of his day, and was known as Jangi Dost "who loves God", thus "Jangidost" was his sobriquet.[19][20][21]

Education[edit] Gilani spent his early life in Gilan, the town of his birth. In 1095, at the age of eighteen years, he went to Baghdad. There, he pursued the study of Hanbali law [22] under Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi and ibn Aqil.[23] He was given lessons on Hadith by Abu Muhammad Ja'far alSarraj.[23] His Sufi spiritual instructor was Abu'l-Khair Hammad ibn Muslim al-Dabbas.[24] (A detailed description of his various teachers and subjects are included below). After completing his education, Gilani left Baghdad. He spent twenty-five years as a reclusive wanderer in the desert regions of Iraq.[25]

Education in Baghdad[edit] At the age of 18, Gilani went to Baghdad to study the Hanbali school of fiqh. Subject

Later life[edit] In 1127, Gilani returned to Baghdad and began to preach to the public.[5] He ed the teaching staff of the school belonging to his own teacher, al-Mazkhzoomi, and was popular with students. In the morning he taught hadith and tafsir, and in the afternoon he held discourse on the science of the heart and the virtues of the Quran. He was said to have been a convincing preacher and converted numerous Jews and Christians. His strength came in the reconciling of the mystical nature of Sufism and strict nature of the Quran.[5]

Death and burial[edit] Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani Mosquein Baghdad 1925

Gilani died in the evening of Tuesday, February 21, 1166 (11th Rabi' al-thani 561 AH) at the age of ninety one years according to the Islamic calendar.[6] His body was entombed in a shrine within his madrasa in Babul-Sheikh, Rusafa on the east bank of the Tigris in Baghdad, Iraq.[27][28][29] During the reign of the Safavid Shah Ismail I, Gilani's shrine was destroyed.[30] However, in 1535, the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent had a turba (dome) built over the shrine, which exists to this day.[31]

Birthday & Death Anniversary celebration[edit] 1 Ramadan is celebrated as the birthday of Abdul Qadir Gilani while the death anniversary is on 11 Rabi us Thani. The later is called in the Subcontinent as Giyarwee Shareef or Honoured Day of 11th.[32]
