Gausul Ajam R.A

Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem 

Gausul Azam blessed by Sayyidina RasoolAllah sallallahu alaih wasallam, he became a great preacher, orator and reformer. Once in Shawwal 521 AH, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman) saw Sayyidina RasoolAllah sallallahu alaih wasallam in his dream advising him to make a speech and to impart his knowledge to others. Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman) asked to be blessed with eloquence as he was an Ajmi (non-Arab). Sayyidina RasoolAllah sallallahu alaih wasallam recited the Aayat "Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preachings' (16:25) seven times and blew on the face of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman). The same day after Zuhr prayer, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman) mounted the pulpit and addressed the people with a sermon. The audience were entranced by his words. His assemblies were attended by men of all calibre. About 400 men remained engaged in recording his speeches (Akhbarul Akhyar). Many embraced Islam under the influence of his sermons. His fame for learning, piety, inner illumination, truth and strict adherence to Shariah spread all over. People flocked to hear his lectures and benefit from the sermons that covered all aspects of life. Muslim sinners would change their course of life after listening to his discourses. His spiritual personality awed even the greatest of men. When Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman) spoke he was prompted by the Grace of Allah subhan wa ta'ala causing the miraculous and revolutionary impact of his words. The greatest of all divines and mystic saints of Islam, Hazrat Peeran-e- Peer Ghaus e Azam Shah Abdul Qadir Jilani (alaih rehman) breathed his last on the 11th Rabi-us-Sani, 561 A.H. at the age of 91 years. His death cast a gloom over the world of Islam but his life and teachings will forever illuminate the hearts of Muslims.
