About the Author :
Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, born near the Caspian Sea, was the son of the great saint Fatima bint ABook Descriptionullah al-Sawma'i. After a period of intense intellectual and mystical training he received the khirqa (robe of initiation) and was soon recognised as a saint and scholar, consulted, loved and revered by caliph and pauper alike. As one of the most venerated figures in Sufism his burial place in Baghdad still attracts numerous visitors from many countries.

Review :
'This work, which contains a biographical introduction to one of the author's least-known works, represents a valuable contribution to the field... The translator's introduction provides an insight into the various personal qualities and divine graces which are recognised in combination as a proof of sainthood... It is clearly and elegantly presented, accessible, and has the merit of combining metaphysical doctrine with devotional ethics as encapsulated in the life and work of one of the most endearingly popular Sufis of all time.' 'A book of great importance to Sufism... Sheikh Tosun has done an admirable job in presenting not only a translation but a lucid interpretation of one of Jilani's most important works.'
