The 11th day of Rabi Al Akhir, also known as the Gyarvi Sharif day, is associated with the revered Saint Hazrat Abdul Qadir Gilani (Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him). He also goes by Al Hasani Wal Husayni. However, it does demonstrate that he is a descendant of Hazrat Imam Hussain (Allah’s Blessings Be Upon Him) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him). According to historians, he is from Gilan, Iraq. He was given the last name Gilani for a reason.

He received help from Gilan for his early studies. He then travelled to Baghdad to study Hanbali jurisprudence there under the tutelage of Hazrats Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi and Ibn Aqil. He attended lessons on hadith given by Hazrat Abu Muhammad Ja’far al-Sarraj. Hazrat Abu’l-Khair Hammad ibn Muslim al-Dabbas (Allah’s Blessings Be Upon Him) served as his spiritual guide. He advocated for Islam’s goals and tenets, and a sizeable portion of Christians and Jews supported him. He taught his children Hadith, Tafsir, and the qualities of the Qur’an Majeed.

There is a tracing of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Gilani (May Allah Bless Him), particularly in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Iraq. His Urs is marked on the eleventh day of Rabi Al Thani. On the Gyarvi Sharif date, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Gilani’s supporters (May Allah’s Blessings Be Upon Him) Offer Fatiha and provide food for the destitute and needy. On the other side, the Gyarvi Sharif date recognises his devotion to Islam.
