Fifteen Letters (Khamsata ‘Ashara Maktuban)

This book consists of fifteen letters by Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani. Articulated in a sublime mystical language, the letters describe spiritual experiences that are attained through striving against one’s base desires and committed devotion to Allah. They are written in a peculiar style whereby each sentence or group of sentences is followed by a related Qur’anic text, which is often a part of a verse.

Purification of the Mind (Jila’ Al-Khatir) – Second Edition

This book has been replaced by a new edition

This book contains fifty-four discourses that Shaikh ‘Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani delivered at his school in Baghdad in the middle of the sixth Hijra century (1150-1151 CE). As in all of his sermons and writings, the Shaikh explains to his audience in these discourses how to draw nearer to God. His words are the fruit of years of personal strife against his lower self and complete dedication to God, telling the fascinating story of his attainment to nearness to God.
