of the student and your patience upon his dullness. Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: ‘I have to work hard on this student for less than a week only, because he will die.’

Sayyiduna Ahmad Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: We started counting the days of that student since that day and when the week was about to end, the last day he really died. (Qalaaid-ul-Jawahir, pp. 8)

Expert in writing Fatwa

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had great expertise in Dars and teaching, writing and compilation, wise counsel and other subjects, but especially, he had such a great expertise in writing Fatawa that the great Islamic scholars, Islamic jurisprudents and blessed Muftis were also surprised by his excellent Fatawa.

Shaykh Imam Muwaffaquddin Bin Qudaamah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: In 561 Hijri, we went to sacred Baghdad and saw that Shaykh Sayyid ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is amongst those who have been given the kingship of knowledge, practice [upon the knowledge] and writing Fatwa. (Bahjat-ul-Asraar, pp. 225)

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had such great scholarly expertise that if extremely difficult rulings were asked from him, he would give extremely easy and nice answer to the rulings. He spent almost 33 years in rendering services to Islam regarding Dars and teaching, and writing Fatwa. During this period of time, when his Fatawa were brought to the Islamic scholars of Iraq, they would become astonished at his answer.

Imam Abu Ya’la Najmuddin رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was very renowned for his Fatwa in Iraq and people would contact him for Fatawa. (Bahjat-ul-Asraar, pp. 225)

Let’s listen to a parable of his scholarly expertise about it.

Easy answer to a difficult Islamic question

The son of Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Pak, Sayyiduna ‘Abdur Razzaq Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that once a question was sent to Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه
