Through the collation of nine different manuscripts and seven printed editions of the original divan of ‘Abdul Kādir al-Jīlāniy’, the final authenticated and revised version came into existence. The first part comprises the Sufi poems and the second contains the symbolic writings. The contents were not included in a particular manuscript, but rather they were collected from the abovementioned sources with ample commentary, vowelization, and interpretation of the text, as well as the necessary indices. It is noteworthy that the book constitutes the second part of the author’s PhD dissertation, which he attained from the Alexandria University with summa cum laude in 1989.
