Who was Ghous Paak rahimahullah?

Q: Who was Ghous Paak (RA)?

A: Ghous-e-Paak is the title of Shaikh Abdul-Qaadir Jeelani (rahmatullahi alayh) who was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 470 AH and died in 561 AH. The word Ghous (Arabic Ghauth) is a title for the highest ranking Wali among Auliyaa, which was the position enjoyed by Shaikh Abdul Qaadir Jeelami RA. He was indeed a great Aalim and Wali of Allah and most strict on the Sunnah of Rasoolullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). The Shaikh is buried in Baghdaad and his tomb is well known in Iraq.
