in Iraq, a great Muslim saint called
‘Abd-ul-Qadir Jilani [rh]. He was
renowned for his piety and service
to Islam and respected by all.

Shaykh
offered his
Salah
or recited the holy
Qur’an

Shaykh
bore all this nuisance
with great patience. He never once
uttered a single word of protest, nor
did he allow anybody else to con-

up. The
Shaykh
was not aware that
this had happened and for a number
of days he did not hear any noise
