Book Name:Ghaus-e-Pak ki Karamat

Helping a worried woman

A wicked man fell in love with a woman who was a devotee of Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani; that woman once happened to go towards a cave of a mountain for some work, that wicked man saw her, chased her and even caught her, she began to cry for help calling out to Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه; listening to her cries, Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Jeelani قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـرَّبَّـانِی threw his wooden sandal towards the direction of the cave and it repeatedly hit that wicked man who then died. That woman arrived in the court of Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه along with that blessed wooden sandal and related the whole incident.

غوثِ اعظم بَمَنِ بے سروساماں مَدَدے     قِبلۂ دِیں مَدَدے کَعبۂ ایماں مَدَدے

 

Translation: O honourable spiritual guide of the Muslims! Help me. O honourable spiritual guide of those who believe! Help me.

 

Somebody may have this evil suspicion in his mind after listening to this parable that how can Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه be called out for help at the time of trouble, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is no longer alive and on the other hand another evil suspicion may enter the mind that it is Shirk (an act of polytheism) to call out to the deceased people for help. Remember! Calling out to deceased people for help is not an act of Shirk. In this connection,    let’s listen to the Madani pearls stated by Mufti ‘Abdul Mustafa A’zami        عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی; اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ this evil suspicion will be eradicated for good:

Shaykh-ul-Hadees, ‘Allamah ‘Abdul Mustafa A’zami عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی has stated: Once Sayyiduna Ibraheem Khaleelullah عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام asked in the Exalted court    of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ), show me how You will resurrect the dead?’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘Ibraheem, don’t you have faith in this?’ Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said, ‘Indeed I do? But I wish to observe this spectacle with my own eyes to solace my heart.’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ then said, ‘Raise four birds and nourish them well by feeding them, then slaughter them and make minced meat from their flesh and place a little portion of it on top of some mountains in
