The Removal of Cares – Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani (Jala al-Khawatir)

THE REMOVAL OF CARES

From the Book

The words of Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani can undoubtedly be considered among the most precious treasures of Islam. Indeed, Al-Baz Publishing was founded with the intention of providing fine English translations of his works for the benefit of English-speaking Muslims everywhere, in the spirit of wishing to share the benefit and blessing we have received ourselves at his hand.

 I first became interested in Shaikh ‘Abd al-Qadir (may Allah be well pleased with him) in learning from my own spiritual guide and benefactor Bapak Muhammad Sumohadiwidjojo, founder of the Subud brotherhood (may Allah be well pleased with him), that Allah had bestowed on the Shaikh the same opening and contact that Bapak himself received from Allah, and which he has passed on to us.

Anyone familiar with the latiban kejiwaan of Subud will know that to be so honored, as Bapak was by Almighty God, isa rare occurrence in the history of mankind, for such grace is usually bestowed on very few of His creatures.

 My interest thus being aroused, I sought out the surviving manuscripts from their various repositories around the world, and began the task of having them translated. From the very first reading it was apparent to me that what Bapak had said about the Shaikh was true.
