Blessed birth of Ghaus-e-A’zam and the remarkable events

Many remarkable events took place when Sayyiduna Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was born. It is something highly unusual that the age of the blessed mother of Ghaus-e-A’zam, Sayyidatuna Umm-ul-Khayr Fatimah       رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهَا was sixty years when Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came into this world; an age when women usually lose hope of having children.

(Bahjat-ul-Asraar, pp. 173)

This was the special favour of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that the mother of Ghaus-e-A’zam gave him birth at this [great] age. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed every that woman of the [village] Jeelan with a son, who gave birth to a child that night in which Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was born and every new-born child became the Wali of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Tafreeh-ul-Khaatir, pp. 57)

دُودھ ماں کا نہ پِیا آپ نے رَمضانوں میں                       آپ بچپن سے سمجھدار ہیں غوثِ اعظم

حَشر تک گائیں گے ہم گیت تمہارے مُرشِد                    ہم تمہارے جو نمک خوار ہیں غوثِ اعظم

سُلطانِ ولایت          غوثِ پاک

دریائے کرامت        غوثِ پاک

ولیوں پہ حکومت        غوثِ پاک

فرماؤ حمایت غوثِ پاک

مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک      مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک     مرحبا یا غوثِ پاک
