Question
One molvi narrated that the entire family of an old woman had drowned when a ship was wrecked. When she reported this episode to Hadhrat Shaikh Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh) he made dua and all the drowned persons became alive. The ship docked safely with them. Is this story authentic?
Answer
It is pure fabrication which the Ahl -e-Bid'ah attribute to Hadhrat Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh). There are a number of other seemingly miraculous incidents which the Bid'atis have fabricated and ascribed to Hadhrat Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh). Another wildly notorious fabrication attributed to Hadhrat Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh) is that he had ascended to the fourth heaven, grabbed a basket of souls from Hadhrat Izraaeel (alayhis salaam), the Angel of Death, and scattered all the souls. Thus all the people whose souls had been taken on that occasion were restored to life. These Bid'atis are notorious for the attribution of falsehood to Hadhrat Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh).
