Question
Please explain the practice of Niyaaz which is given in the name of Ghaus-e-Paak.
Answer
There is no practice such as 'niyaaz' in Islam. It is an innovation which has no origin in Islam. It is a stupid bid'ah. Ghaus-e-Paak refers to Hadhrat Sayyid Abdul Qaadir Jilaani (rahmatullah alayh) who was one of Islam's greatest Auliya. The Ahl-e-Bid'ah – the Qabar Puja (Grave-worshipping) sect have fabricated many false stories about Hadhrat Abdul Qaadir Jeelaani (rahmatullah alayh).
