Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani

Advice from the saint Shaykh ‘Abdul Qadir Jilani

“Previously, I always dwelt here on earth in private seclusion, but now the situation is the very opposite of that. In general, I am a person who is not embarrassed by being talked about, because I take no notice of anyone’s opinion.”

Proper behaviour [husn al-adab] is called for in two instances: in the renunciation of this world and in the acceptance of it

• You must not go into seclusion with ignorance for company.
• Do not make a practice of it before you are adequately prepared.
• “Complete your studies, then retire [tafaqqah thumma' 'tazil].”
• How often do you attend these sessions [majalis] without putting one word you hear into practice?
• How many of you have seen a single saint [wali], asked him for a piece of good advice, received such advice from him and then put it into practice, taking it as provision for your journey?
