A study of the life and background of 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani,
putative founder of the Qadiriyya order, investigating the sources
for his life and attributed works. The book seeks to elucidate the
ideas of al-Jilani, and to formulate a picture of the most
prominent trends of pious and mystical thought in Baghdad during
the twelfth century, providing a cultural and geographical angle to
the study of Islamic mysticism and piety.
