Extract from Ghuniya tut Talibeen of Shaykh Jilani (rah)

Salafis often quote from Ghuniyah tut talibeen attributed to Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Rahimahullah) that he used to do Raful Yaddain and praised Ahlul Hadith. Actually the great Shaykh has called Sufis, Abdaal, and Awliya as Ahlul Hadith not fake Ahlul Hadith of today. Also he used to do Raful Yaddain because he was a Hanbli. 

Ghuniya tut Talibeen attributed to Shaykh ar-Rabbani Sayyid Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (Rahimahullah). I have the Arabic one published by Dar ul Khair, Beirut, Lebanon and also Damuscus, Syria)

Although there have been some interpolations made into the book as said by Ibn Hajr al-Makki (rah) but overall it is a great book which approves concepts and fiqh of Ahlus Sunnah. 

It proves the following points. 

1. Taking Waseela of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). (Pg. 17)

2. Hanging Ta'weez. (Pg. 50-51)

3. Doing Isaal ath thawaab at graves. (Pg. 50) 

4. Whole chapter dedicated to Tassawuf where he calls Sufis as Abdaal and Awliya. (Pg. 449-454)

5. Virtues of Layla tul bar'aah (Pg. 244-249)

6. Tarawih to be 20 Rakahs. (Pg. 265) 

7. The Prophet seeing Allah on Miraaj with his eyes and it not being a dream. (Pg. 85)

8. Refutation of misguided sects (Note: Word Hanafiyyah is not used in many manuscripts. In this manuscript which is published by Dar ul khayr it says Ghasaniyah in stead of Hanafiyyah. Pg. 119. The Nuskha published by Dar ul Kutb al iLmiyyah also says Ghasaniyyah). Plus on page 311 Shaykh Jilani called Imam Abu Hanifa as Imam al Azam.

9. Wiping hands on face after making dua. (Pg. 50) 

10. Praying Salat ut Tasbih (Pg. 432)
