The Qadri Way

LIVE LIFE THE QADRI WAY

As-Salaam-o-Alaiykum..!

                        In the name of Allah, the most beneficent and  the most merciful ,I would like to begin  my first blog .Though I am young and inexperienced and it is my first attempt , but I am glad that the almighty has chosen this task for me . The purpose of this blog is to spread the message of Hazrat Sayyedina-wa-Maulana "ABU-MUHAMMAD-MOHIYUDDEEN SHAYKH ABDUL QADIR JILANI"(a.s), well known as Hazrat "GHAUS-UL-AZAM"(a.s). I am Syeda Nada Ali Al-Qadri d/o Hazrat SYED SHAH TARSHEED ALI AL-QADRI and  I belong to the Qadri Order or Silsila-e-Qaderiyya of Huzur GHAUS-UL-AZAM (a.s) of Baghdad, Iraq. My father Hazrat SYED SHAH TARSHEED ALI AL-QADRI  is the fourth son of his holiness  Sayyedena Hazrat SYED SHAH RUSHAID AL AL-QADRI (r.a) also known as the Pir-Sahab of Taltala. My grand-father and my Pir-o-murshed his holiness Sayyedena Hazrat SYED SHAH RUSHAID ALI AL-QADRI (a.s.) is the direct descendant and the 21st Sajjaada-Nasheen (successor) of the Qadri Order or  Silsila-e-Qaderiyya. Coming  from this Qadri family and Sufi household it is our duty to spread the message of Hazrat GHAUS-UL-AZAM (a.s) and to live life the Qadri way that is  to serve humanity through the doctrines of  Hazrat  SHAYKH ABDUL QADIR JILANI (a.s.).

 We are here past two centuries and our ancestors came here in 1180 A.H. from Hama (now in Syria) ,they were originally from Baghdad,Iraq.Our ancestor  Sayyedena Hazrat SYED ABDULLAH AL JILI (a.s.) arrived in Bengal in 1180 A.H. along with his four sons Sayyedena Hazrat SYED ZAKIR ALI AL QADRI(a.s.),Sayyedena Hazrat SYED RAUSHAN ALI AL QADRI (a.s.),Sayyedena Hazrat SYED GOLAM HUSSAIN AL QADRI(a.s.) and Sayyedena Hazrat SYED RAJAB ALI AL QADRI (a.s.) acompanied by the ladies and children of their family .Hazrat  Syed  Abdullah Al Jili (a.s.) along with his two sons Hazrat Syed Golam Hussain and Hazrat Syed Rajab Ali along with some of the ladies of the family returned to Baghdad however the other two sons Hazrat Zakir Ali and Hazrat Raushan Ali remained in Bengal propagating the Qadri Sufi Order and spreading Islam throughout Bengal .Thus they laid the foundations of Qadri Order in Bengal and their descendants are spreading the Qadri Order till today. 

As this blog deals with the life of Hazrat Gaus-ul-Azam who was the greatest of all Sufi saints,it is necessary to say a word about Sufism.Sufism or Islamic mysticism originated in Iraq in the 8th century A.C. From Iraq it spread to Iran,Syria,Egypt,India and other places. The Sufi saints did a great service to Islam. Apart from re-strengthening the faith of Muslims, they carried the torch of Islam far and wide , Islam was spread to different parts of the world by Sufi saints and not by soldiers. Sufism is defined as knowledge of God obtained through asceticism,piety,remembrance (zikr) and the intense love of God. Sufism is purely based on the Quran and Hadith.
