Today, we are celebrating Bari Giyarhween [i.e. the sacred Giyarhween that is celebrated on the 11^th of Rabi’-ul-Aakhir] of Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. He was so affectionate towards Islamic students that he used to overlook their weaknesses. Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had a non-Arab student who was mentally very weak. He would understand things with great difficulty. Once that student was sitting reading his lesson near Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, a person namely Ibn Samhal came to see Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. When he saw the mental weakness of the student and the patience of Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Pak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه with the state of the student, he felt very surprised. As the student left, Ibn Samhal humbly said: I am surprised at the mental weakness of the student and your patience with his mental weakness. 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)

King of writing Fatwa

Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه had great expertise in Dars and teaching, writing and compilation, call towards righteousness and other subjects of knowledge, but especially he had such a great expertise in writing Fatawa that the great Islamic scholars, Fuqaha [Islamic jurists] 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 Baghdad and saw that Shaykh Sayyid ‘Abdul Qaadir Jeelani                رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was one of those who was given the kingship in knowledge and Amal [its practice] 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 an extremely easy answer to the rulings. He spent almost 33 years in serving Islam by giving Dars and teaching
