The Shaykh is widely known in the Muslim world as Muhiyuddin (reviver of the religion), denoting his enormous contribution to the revival of the true spirit of Islam and its teachings in the crucial post-classical age of Islam, by freeing Sufism from superstitious and syncretic practices, thus making it in accordance with the teachings of the Qur'ān and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The eponym of the Qādiriyya, one of the oldest Sufi orders, Shaykh Jilāni was also an insightful jurist, author, deeply involved himself in the quest for justice and building of social and political system based on the principles of Islam. Choughley's study, deeply analytical and objective, covers all these multifaceted aspects of the Shaykh's life, along with introductory analyses of his works such as \u003cem\u003eFutuh Al-Ghaib\u003c\/em\u003e (Secrets of the Unseen), \u003cem\u003eAl-Fatḥ ar-Rabbānī\u003c\/em\u003e (The Sublime Revelation), \u003cem\u003eGhunyat al-Ṭālibin \u003c\/em\u003e(Treasure for Seekers) and \u003cem\u003eJila' Al-Khatir\u003c\/em\u003e (The Purification of heart). A very unique feature of the volume is a detailed study of Tafsir Jilāni, the manuscript of which was found approximately eight hundred years after the Shaykh's death. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbdul Kader Choughley, the author of the volume, has contributed enormously to the revival of South Asian Muslim scholarship, during the past decade or so, with several valuable studies on Islam in South Asia, focusing on Islamic revivalism.
