Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the illuminated month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal is spreading its blessings as it moves towards its end. After this month, the blessed month of Rabi’-ul-Aakhir will bless us with its presence, which is particularly associated with Ghaus-e-A’zam, the king of Baghdad, Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. In the same way as Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed him with many other virtues, another unparalleled virtue of his is that he hailed from a Sayyid household such that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was both descended from Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا. Let us hear a brief summary of a portion of his blessed personality.
