What is the view on the poem attributed to Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani?
Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani is one of the scholars of Ahl al- and a follower of the Righteous Predecessors (Salaf al-Salih). Some minor errors and innovations occurred in his writings. However, his followers have lied extensively about him, attributing to him things he neither said nor approved of. An example is what came in a poem attributed to him, which contained false claims and blatant disbelief, such as claiming divinity, sharing with God in His knowledge and affairs, and disposing of matters in this world and the the Hereafter. These are false claims that indicate the ignorance of their utterer, and Shaykh al-Jilani is innocent of them.
