Jala' al-Khatir (Clearing the Mind)

This unique book consists of several gatherings and sermons of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, may Allah be pleased with him, recorded by one of his students from what the Sheikh dictated to them. In it, the Sheikh delivers profound spiritual discourse addressing Islamic principles and values from his unique Sufi perspective, imbued with sincerity, love, and humility...

Five manuscript copies of this book have been found around the world, three of which the editor was able to gather and rely upon during the process of verification and annotation.

The verification process was carried out to the highest standards of quality: the manuscript was rendered according to modern Arabic orthography, the topics were given headings, the Qur'anic verses and hadiths implicitly referenced within Sheikh al-Jilani's texts were explicitly cited, difficult and ambiguous words were explained and properly vocalized, and images of the manuscripts used in the verification process were included in the introduction.
