There are so many miracles of Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma that volumes can be written about them. A few will be presented here to give us a glimpse into his spiritual status.

There was a wise and influential priest in Baghdad who had many followers. He knew Islam and the Holy Qur’an and had great love and respect for Rasul Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). He was ready to accept Islam except for one thing; he could not understand and therefore accept the physical ascension (Me’raj) of Rasul Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) to the heavens and beyond. The caliph introduced all the wise men and teachers of the time to the priest, but none could remove his doubts. The caliph then sent word to Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma requesting him to convince the priest.

When Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma came to the palace he found the caliph and the priest playing chess. As the priest lifted a chess piece to move, his eyes met with those of the Shaykh. He blinked his eyes and as he opened them he found himself drowning in a river. He was shouting for help when a young shepherd jumped into the water and saved him. As he came out of the water he realized that he was naked and had been transformed into a young girl. The shepherd asked the girl where she was from and she answered from Baghdad. The shepherd said that they were at a distance of a few months journey from Baghdad. He honoured and protected her but as she had nowhere to go he eventually married her and had three children who grew up.

One day as she was washing laundry in the same river where she had appeared many years earlier, she slipped and fell in. As she opened her eyes…. the priest found himself sitting across the caliph, holding the chess piece and still looking into the eyes of Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh), who said to him, “Now venerable priest, do you still disbelieve?” The priest was unsure of what had happened and thinking that it was a dream asked, “What do you mean?” The Shaykh asked, “Perhaps you would like to see your family?” and as he opened the door, there stood the shepherd and the three children. Seeing this the priest immediately believed, and he and his followers of about five thousand Christians all became Muslims at the hands of Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma.

As it is said,
"Dua is a True Muslim's Weapon",
Remember me in your Duas...
