the congregation to pray behind Sayyiduna Ghous e Aazam Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه. When we finished the prayer, the one who is aware of the states of hearts and the guide for the lost, Sayyiduna Ghous e Aazam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, turned his attention toward me and said: اَیْ بُنَیَّ اَلْغَفْلَۃُ شَامِلَةٌ لَّکَ 'O my son! You have been surrounded by heedlessness. You have prayed without ablution.'^[1]

The excellence of a believer's insight

Dear Islamic brothers! What a magnificent status belongs to my Pir, the Pir of Pirs, the Pir Dastagir, Sayyiduna Ghaus-e-Aazam Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه...!! Sheikh Abu al-Faraj رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه mistakenly performed a prayer without ablution. Sayyiduna Ghous e Aazam رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, with his inner knowledge and insight, recognized that he had prayed without ablution. These are the elevated statuses of the Awliya (friends of Allah). Allah Almighty, out of the honour of His Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام, grants them knowledge of hidden matters. It is stated in a Hadith: اِتَّقُوْا فِرَاسَۃَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَاِنَّہٗ یَنْظُرُ بِنُوْرِ اللہ (Beware of the insight of a believer, for he sees with the light of Allah).^[2]

Firasat (insight) is a light that Allah Almighty places in the heart of His servant.^[3] Allama Munawi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, while explaining the blessed Hadith, writes: The light that Allah Almighty places in the heart of a complete believer makes the heart shine like a mirror (in which everything is clearly visible). Therefore, by the blessing of this light, the servant becomes aware of hidden matters and is able to see secrets.^[4]

You are like a mirror to me

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Our Pir, Sayyiduna Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, is not only
