3) From the 40 grandmasters is Sultan awliya Abdul Kadir Gilani mention inside the list with a diffrent name as he said all said all saints are under his feet ?
Thank you my shaykhs.

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

The first issue is implied in the verse:

{Among them are those we recounted to you and there are those we did not recount to you} 40:78.

The second answer is as often as He decides, sometimes two or three in a single generation and sometimes skipping an entire 100 years.

As for the third question the Gilani of our time is his son Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, who has received all the spiritual secrets of Shaykh `Abd al-Qadir (Allah sanctify their secrets). See more at “Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani
