Mawlana Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jayli

Al Jayli

by Habib Hassan

May Blessings and Peace without measure forever descend upon the Seal of the Prophets his family, companions and descendants without measure.

Al Jayli is a secret whose meaning is encrypted.-An ongoing light of benefit for all in existence.

Please pardon the wretched state of the author of these inadequate lines of poetry. For he is himself trapped in a web of his lower desires, helpless, destitute and needy.

The one who saves souls and exults in poverty is the one I cannot live without. He rescued me from a life of false fears when I was weak and ravaged by doubt.

Al Jayli is the Prince of the Miskin, the best of the slaves both known and unknown.

Al Jayli eats of the fruit from the boughs of the Mubarak Shajarat Al-Kawn!
