Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) – Further Miracles and Accounts are numerous but here are recollections of some accounts told through the ages:
BLESSED SHAWL AND MISSING KEYS
” Once whilst Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) was delivering one of his lectures, a person by the name of Abul Mu’aali was present in this gathering. He was seated directly in front of the great Saint. During the course of the lecture, Abul Mu’aali found that he needed to answer the call of nature. He tried to suppress this need because he found it disrespectful to leave the gathering of Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi). He could no longer suppress it and decided to leave when Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) walked down the pulpit (Mimbar) onto the second step and threw his shawl over him. As this happened, Abul Mu’aali found that he was no longer in the gathering, but rather in a valley with beautiful lush vegetation. It was beautified even more by a stream, which flowed through it. He immediately answered the call of nature, performed wudhu and then prayed two rakaats Salaah. As he completed the Salaah, Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) took the shawl off him and he found, to his amazement, that he was still in the gathering of the great Saint and he had not even missed one word of the lecture. However, much later Abul Mu’aali discovered that he did not have his set of keys with him. He then remembered that when he was transported to the valley by Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) he had hung his key ring on the branch of a tree beside the stream. Abul Mu’aali states that some time after this incident, he had the opportunity to go on a business expedition. During this journey, he reached a valley and rested there. He then noticed that the valley was the same place where he had been transported during the lecture. When he went beside the tree, he found that his missing keys were still hanging on the branch of the tree!

BLESSED HAND IN STORM
” The students of Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) state that once he was delivering his lessons as usual to them when suddenly his blessed face turned red and beads of perspiration covered his blessed forehead. He then placed his hand into his cloak and remained silent for a short time. After he removed his hand from inside his cloak, drops of water began to drip from his sleeves. Due to his spiritual state, the students did not ask him any questions but rather, they recorded the date, day and time of this astonishing event. Two months after this incident, a group of traders, who had come by sea to Baghdad, arrived and presented various gifts to Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi). The students were very confused by this as they had never seen these traders in Baghdad before. When they asked the traders the reason for them bringing the gifts, they said that two months earlier, whilst they were sailing to Baghdad, their ship was caught in a fierce storm. When they realized that there was a real danger of sinking, they called out to Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi). When they called out to him, they found that from the Unseen a hand lifted their ship to safety. When the students compared this narration to the incident in the Madrassah, it was confirmed that it was the same date, day and time in which the great Saint (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) had put his hand into his cloak. Although Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) seemed to be placing his hand into his cloak, but in reality, he was stretching his hand into the sea to assist those who called for his assistance. “

MOTHER LEAVES SON IN SHEIKH ABDUL QADIR JILANI’S (RA) CARE
” A woman of Baghdad who was very impressed by the fame of Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) decided to leave her son in his care and said, “Take this child as your own, I renounce all right to him. Raise him to become like you.” The Shaikh accepted the child and started to teach him piety, spirituality etc. After some time the mother came to see her son and found him thin and pale and eating a crust of bread. She was angry and asked to see the Shaikh. When she came upon him she found him well dressed, seated in a pleasant room and eating a chicken. She exclaimed, “While you eat your chicken my poor son, whom I left in your care, has nothing but a piece of dry bread!” The Shaikh placed his hand over the bones of the chicken and said, “In the name of Allah Who revives bones from dust, rise!” The chicken immediately became alive and it ran about the table saying, “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is His Messenger and Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) is the friend of Allah and His Messenger!” Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) then turned to the woman and said, “When your son can do this, he can also eat whatever he wishes.” “

SHEIKH ALI BIN HAITI (RA) SEES RASULALLAH (SWS) IN SHEIKH ABDUL QADIR JILANI’S (RA) LECTURE
Once Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) was delivering a lecture and Shaykh Ali bin Haiti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) was seated in front of him. During the lecture Shaykh Ali bin Haiti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) fell asleep. Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma saw this and descended from the Mimbar and stood in front of the sleeping Shaykh Ali bin Haiti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) with both his hands folded in respect. After a while Shaykh Ali bin Haiti (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) awoke to find Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) standing in front of him. He immediately stood up in respect. Hazrat Ghaus E Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) smiled and said, “The reason I am standing in front of you is because you were seeing Rasoolallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in your dream and I was seeing Rasul Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) with my physical eyes.”

RAIN IN SHEIKH ABDUL QADIR JILANI’S (RA) LECTURE
” Shaykh Adi ibn Musaafir (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) states, “On one occasion while Hazrat Ghaus-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) was giving a lecture, a shower of rain descended from the sky. This caused some of the members of the audience to disperse, so he raised his head towards the heaven above and said, “Here I am, gathering people together for Your sake and You are scattering them away from me like this.” The rain at once stopped falling on the courtyard where the lecture was taking place, though the downpour continued unabated beyond the perimeter of the schoolhouse and not a single drop of rain fell on the session.” “

THE WEAK DOG AND SHAYKH AHMAD JAAM’S (RA) LION
There was a great Saint by the name of Shaykh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) who used to travel on a lion wherever he went. In every city that he visited it was his habit to ask the people of the city to send one cow for his lion’s meal. One day he travelled to Baghdad, and sent one of his disciples to Hazrat Ghauz-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) and commanded that a cow be sent to him, as a meal for his lion. The great Ghauz (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) was already aware of his coming and had already arranged for a cow to be kept for the lion. He sent one of his disciples with the cow to Shaykh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) and as the disciple took the cow with him, a weak and old stray dog which used to sit outside the home of Hazrat Ghauz-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi) followed him. The disciple presented the cow to Shaykh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) who signalled to the lion to commence feeding. As the lion ran towards the cow, this weak old dog pounced on the lion. It caught the lion by its throat and killed it by tearing open its stomach. The dog then dragged the lion and threw it before Hazrat Ghauz-E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahma Alayhi). On seeing this, Shaykh Ahmad Jaam (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) humbled himself before the great Ghauz (Radiallahu Ta’ala Anh) and asked for forgiveness for his arrogant behaviour. This shows the strength of a weak old dog due to its Nisbath (connection) with the blessed stoop of Hazrat Ghauz -E-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani Alayhi Rahma. It also shows that even animals recognize and are loyal to the Awliya Allah.
