In
the
earlier
years
of
the
10th
century
Hijra,
when
spiritual
decline
had
set
in
among
the
Muslims
in
India,
many
intrusions
had
begun
in
the
helds
of
Shariah
and
Tariqah.
and
the
effort
for
tabligh
and
rectification
was
often
replaced
by
flattery
and
selfishness.
There
was
a
clear
need
for
a
forthright
and
perfect
man
of
truth
who
could
again
work
to
improve
this
fallen
condition
by
regaining
spiritual
heights
and
guiding
misguided
people
to
turn
again
to
the
path
of
righteousness
and
right
thinking.
The
Qadriah
branch
of
sufism
has
been
specially
distinguished
by
the
fact
that
in
times
of
difficulty
for
Islam,
the
Qadriah
elders
left
their
seclusion
and
helped
to
set
right
the
crumbling
walls
of
shariah
and
Tariqah,
so
as
to
create
stability
in
the
deen
of
Islam.
Right
at
the
beginning,
Sheikh
Abdul
Qadir
Jilani
was
given
the
title
of
Mohy-ud-din
because,
at
the
time
when
deen
had
become
like
a
life-less
body
in
the
6th
century
Hijra.
he
(with
the
help
of
Allah
Subhanhu
wa
taallah)
was
able
to
re-inject
life
into
it
and
through
speeches,
revelation
(Kashf)
and
miraculous
events,
was
able
to
so
change
the
conditions
of
the
Muslims
of
the
time
that
the
glory
of
the
Islamic
era
appeared
once
again.
About
four
hundred
years
after
this
event
when
India
and
the
Muslims
living
in
India
again
underwent
a
spiritual
depression,
and
the
components
of
Belief
and
steadfastness
again
became
unbalanced,
another
jewel
(Khanwada)
of
this
very
Qadriah
series,
who
had
the
benefit
of
divine
light
and
grace,
appeared
on
the
horizon
of
India
and
replaced
the
spreading
spiritual
darkness,
through
his
spiritual
enlightenment
This
messenger
of
light
from
the
Qadriah
line
(quilt)
was
named
Shah
Kamal
Kaithali
who,travelling
through
many
countries,
came
to
India
from
Baghdad
in
928
Hijra
and
made
Kaithal
his
abode.
This
is
in
the
heart-land
of
the
Geeta
of
the
Hindu’s
and
is
full
of
the
effects
of
warlike
poetry
of
the
Geeta.
(There
is
one
lamp
in
this
house,
from
which
a
lighted
assembly
has
arisen
wherever
you
look)
It
is
related
that
Abdul
Qadir
Gilani
told
him
(in
a
dream)”
Shah
Kamal,
your
work
here
is
complete,
now
go
to
India
where,
through
your
training,
a
person,
will
be
prepared
who
will
be
the
cause
of
the
whole
universe
becoming
illuminated”.
Kaithal
was
located
124
miles
north
of
Delhi
and
was
in
the
neighborhood
of
Karnal
and
Panipat,
the
ancient
historic
cities
of
India
culture.
Attempts
had
been
made
before
this
also
to
remove
the
effects
of
Hindu
culture
and
now
Shah
Kamal’s
selection
of
this
place
as
his
abode
was
a
result
of
this
very
motivation
to
obliterate
the
effects
of
idol-worship
and
such
non-Islamic
customs
(which
-
persisted
among
Muslims
in
that
area)
and
replace
them
by
the
message
of
one
Allah
and
His
Nabi
(SAW).
Since
the
true
friend
of
Allah
is
one
who,
with
sincerity,
maintains
himself
on
the
worship
of
the
one
Allah
and
preaches
the
commandments
of
Allah,
therefore
Shah
Kamal
chose
for
his
preaching
and
spreading
of
Islam
a
place
which
was
under
the
effect
of
Kufr
and
misguidance
and
where
proclaiming
the
oneness
of
Allah
and
preaching
the
commandments
of
Allah
was
an
invitation
to
troubles
and
difficulties.
The
Quran
tells
us
“These
are
the
people
who
fulfilled
the
promise
that
they
made
with
Allah”
which
is
an
indication
that
the
full
setting
up
of
shariah
is
in
fact
the
work
of
the
wali
and
fulfillment
of
the
promise
is
the
sign
of
the
“friend”
of
Allah.
The
steadfastness
in
fulfilling
“
the
promise”
shown
by
Shah
Kamal
Qadri
produced
the
result
that
thousands
of
irreligious
people
as
well
as
mushrikeen
became
true
Muslims,
and
Kaithal
attained
the
status
of
the
Centre
of
spiritual
training
where
people
from
all
over
India
came
for
relieving
their
spiritual
uneasiness
and
attained
spiritual
relief
and
contentment.
