Re: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani
dear sis...here is one....
**. Shaykh Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani and the Chicken
**A woman who was a disciple of the greatest saint Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani Baghdadi vowed that she would give her son to the saint to raise in his Sufi hospice and make her son into a dervish like the saint himself. When her son reached about seven years she left him with the Shaykh as per her vow. One day she came to visit her son and was surprised to see the Shaykh sitting on a couch eating a chicken whereas her son was being fed bread with a weak, watery, soup. Her maternal instincts couldn’t be suppressed and she asked the Shaykh, “O’ my Shaykh! What is this? You are eating chicken and my son is eating soup?” The Shaykh smiled and put all the bones of the chicken he had eaten together and ordered it to come back to life! Immediately the cooked and eaten chicken came back to life and flew around the room. “When your son can do this”, said the Shaykh, “he too can eat whatever he wishes.”
(Ref: biographies of the greatest Shaykh Ghawth al Azam are replete with accounts of his miracles. The scholars have written that so many different people have witnessed the miracles of Ghawth al Azam that they have reached the level of tawattur or mass-transmission. This particular miracle was from another talk by Dr. Tahir ul Qadri called “Shaan e Ghawth”.)
Im sorry but I find this pathetic...
Any reasoning behind such act?
