[Utterances of Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir (Malfuzat)] Utterances of Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir (Malfuzat)
By: Shaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani
In the original handwritten manuscripts the Malfuzat is usually found as an appendix or attachment to Al-Fath ar-Rabbani [The Sublime Revelation]. It is a collection of many pieces of wise advice that do not fit neatly into the discourses in that book. In it are answers to questions put to him by disciples and those who attended the discourse sessions, extemporaneous advice, and most importantly, the Shaikh discusses the high level of aspiration possible for the ordinary person, and the way to accomplish it. First translation into English, by Muhtar Holland.
