Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani
Hazrat-e-Bishr Qarazi narrates that I was travelling with a group of traders along with fourteen camels carrying sugar. We stopped for the night in a dangerous jungle. In the early hours of the night my four loaded camels disappeared, which were not found even after a lot of search. The group also departed. The camel driver stayed back with me . In the morning I suddenly remembered that my Mentor, The King of Baghdad Huzoor Ghous-e-Pak had told me that whenever you get stuck in any problem then call me (my name), Allah willing that problem will be solved, hence I requested this way: YA SHAIKH ABDUL QADIR! MY CAMELS ARE LOST. All of sudden I saw a saintly man dressed in white clothes on a sand dune towards east, who was signaling me to come to him. As soon as I along with my camel driver reached over there the saintly Man disappeared from vision. We were strangely looking here and there when we suddenly spotted those four lost camels sitting under the sand dune. Then what happened was that we caught the camels and re-joined the group. When Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Ab-ul-Hasan Ali Khabbaz was told the incident of the lost camels He said that Hazrat-e-Shaikh Ab-ul- Qassim has said that I have heard Sayyed-e-na Shaikh Muhi-ud-Din Abdul Qadir Jilani saying:
“THE ONE WHO CRIES OUT FOR MY HELP DURING SOME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM GETS SOLVED, THE ONE WHO CALLS OUT MY NAME IN ANY HARDSHIP, THAT HARDSHIP; GETS DISMISSED, THE ONE WHO USED ME AS A SOURCE TO ASK ALLAH FOR SOME NEED, IT WILL BE FUFILLED. THE PERSON WHO PRAYES TWO RAK’AT OF NAFL AND IN EACH RAK’AT AFTER SURAH FATIHA RECITIES SURAH IKHLAS ELEVEN TIMES, AFTER SAYING SALAAM i.e AFTER FINISHING THE PRAYER, SENDS DUROOD-O-SALAAM ON THE KING OF MADEENAH AND THEN WALKS A DISTANCE OF ELEVEN STEPS TOWARDS BAGHDAD SHAREEF AND CALLS OUT MY NAME AND PRESENTS HIS NEED, ALLAH WILLING, THAT NEED WILL BE FULFILLED’.
Why should I go from door to door when I have a mentor like You. I received every thing from you ‘O, Ghous-e-Azam Dastgir.
Dear Islamic Brother! It is possible that in someone’s mind a thought may arise that we should only ask Allah for any help and no one else, because when Allah is the One who helps then why should we ask anyone else for help? The answer to this is that this is the way he makes an unknown number of people go astray. When Allah has not refrained from asking for help from someone else then how can someone get the right of saying that don’t ask for help from anyone but Allah. Look in the Holy Quran, where Allah has in various verses allowed asking for help from someone else, but even though being the Omnipotent in every way,. He has asked for help from His beings. Therefore it is stated:
Translation: If you will help the religion of Allah, Allah will help you. (Part-26, Sura: Muhammad)
THE KING OF JINNSBushair bin Mahfooz states that once my daughter, Fatima, all of a sudden vanished from the roof of my house. I got worried and want to the blessed presence of Sayyed-e-na Ghouse-e-Pak and requested for help. He told me to go to Karkh, and during the night sit in a deserted place forming a fort (Hisar) around myself. Over there think about em and say:” Bismillah” During the darkness of night groups of Jinns will pass by you, their faces will be very strange, do not get scared by looking at them, at the time of sahari the KING OF JINNS will come to you and will ask you about your requirement. Tell him, “Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani has sent me from Baghdad (my requirement is that) you search my daughter.”
Hence, I went to the ruins of KARKH and followed the instructions of Huzoor Ghous-e-Azam. During the silence of night, horrifying Jinns kept on passing outside my hisar. The faces of the Jinns were so horrifying that I could not look at them. At the time of sahari, the KING OF JINNS came on a horse back, there were Jinns surrounding him. He asked my demand from outside the hisar. I told him that Huzoor Ghous-e-Azam has sent me to you. As soon as he beard this, he got down the horse and sat on the ground. The other Jinns too sat outside the hisar.
I narrated the incident of the disappearance of my daughter. He announced amongst all the Jinns, “Who has taken the girl?” Within moments the Jinns caught a Chinese Jinn and presented him as the culprit. The King of the Jinns asked him why did you pick the girl up from the city of the Highest Cadre in Spiritual Pivot (Qutub) of the time? He said, while shivering, Your Highness! After looking at her I fell in love with her. The King ordered the Chinese Jinn to be beheaded and returned my wonderful daughter to me. I thanked the King of the Jinns and said, as Allah will! You are an ardent lover of Sayyed-e-na Ghouse-e-Pak. He then replied, I SWEAR UPON ALLAH WHEN HUZOOR GHOUS-E-PAK LOOKS TOWARDS US, ALL THE JINNS START TREMBLING. WHEN ALL NOMINATES AS QUTUB OF TIME THEN ALL THE JINNS AND HUMANS ARE ORDERED TO FOLLOW HIM. (Bahjaa-tul- Asraar)
All the Jinns start trembling (with fear) on hearing your name. Your Have that majestic awe ‘O, Ghous-e-Azam Dastgir.
About Gous Pak: Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jelani was a noted Hanbali preacher, Sufi sheikh and the eponymous founder of the Qadiri Sufi order (selsela). He was born in Ramadan AH 470 (about AD 1077) in the Persian province of Gilan (Iran) south of the Caspian sea. His contribution and renown in the sciences of Sufism and Sharia was so immense that he became known as the spiritual pole of his time, al-Gauth al Azam (the “Supreme Helper” or the “Mightiest Succor”). His writings were similar to those of al-Ghazali in that they dealt with both the fundamentals of Islam and the mystical experience of Sufism.
Parents and Early Life
Abdul Qadir Jilani was a Sufi master and Syed (descendant of the Prophet Muhammad) from both his father and mother. His father Abu Saleh Jangidost, was an illustrious and God-fearing man. Once while engrossed in meditation by the bank of a river he saw an apple floating down the river. He picked it up and ate it. It struck to him that he ate the apple without paying for it so he set out in search of the owner, on the bank of the river and at last reached the owner of the apple orchard “Abdullah Somai” whom he requested to tell him the price of the apple, Abdullah Somai replied that it was an expensive thing. Syed Abu Saleh replied that he had not much by way of worldly material but he, could serve him for compensation. Abdullah Somai then asked him to work for a year in the orchard. In course of time the duration was extended several times. In the end Abdullah Somai admitted that he had served him in excess of the price and desired to reward him. Abu Saleh hesitated in accepting it but when Abdullah Somai persisted, he relented. He said he had a daughter, blind of eyes, handicapped of hands and feet and wanted to give her in marriage to him. In this way Abu Saleh was married to Abdullah Somai’s daughter, Syeda Fatimah. To his astonishment found her wondrously beautiful and wholesome. He complained to his father-in-law that he found her exactly the opposite to what he had described her. Abdullah Somai insisted on the truthfulness of his statement. She was blind because she had not seen any Ghair Mehram (a man who could marry her). She was mute because she had not uttered a word repugnant to the Shariah (Islamic law). She was deaf because she had not heard anything inconsistent with the Shariah. She was handicapped of hand and feet because she had never moved in the direction of evil.
Abdul Qadir Jilani’s father died soon after and the young orphan was reared up by his mother and his grandfather, Abdullah Somai.
Adult life
At the age of 18 he went to Baghdad on AH 488 (1095 AD), where he pursued the study of Hanbalite law under several teachers. His mother sewed 40 gold coins in his quilt so that he might spend them when needed. The dacoits struck the caravan on the way, and looted all the travelers of their belongings. They asked him what he had. He replied that he had 40 gold coins. The dacoits took his reply for a joke and took him to their chief, who asked him the same question and he again replied that he had 40 gold coins. He demanded him to show, upon whom he tore away, the quilt and produced the gold coins. He was surprised and asked him why he had given the hidden gold coins when he could have kept them hidden. Young Abdul Qadir Jilani replied that he was travelling to Baghdad to receive education and his mother had instructed him to speak the truth. This left a deep effect on the chief of the dacoits and he gave up looting.
Abdul Qadir received lessons on Islamic Jurisprudence from Abu Said Ali al-Mukharrimi, Hadith from Abu-Bakra-bin- Muzaffar, and commentary (tafseer) from the renowned commentator, Abu Muhammad Jafar.
In Sufism, his spiritual instructor was Shaikh Abu’l-Khair Hammad. From him, he received his basic training, and with his help he set out on the spiritual journey. Abu Shuja’ was also a disciple of Shaikh Hammad, once he said: “Shaikh Abdul Qadir was in the company of Shaikh Hammad, so he came and sat in front of him, observing the best of good manners, until he stood up and took his leave. I heard Shaikh Hammad say, as soon as Shaikh Abdul Qadir had left: ‘This non-Arab has a foot that will be raised, when the proper time comes, and placed upon the necks of the saints of that time. He will surely be commanded to say: This foot of mine is upon the neck of every saint of Allah. He will surely say it, and the necks of all the saints of his age will surely be bent at his disposal.’” Hazrat Junayd Baghdadi (died AD 910), who died about 167 years before the birth of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, predicted about him on one occasion, when he was performing meditation & during that he said: “His foot will be over all Saints’ necks.” After finishing meditation, his disciples asked him about his words, he replied: “One Sufi would be born in the future, who would be greater than all saints.” Thus, Shaikh Hammad proved the words of Hazrat Junayd as right. The historians says that, later Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani also repeated the same words on many occasion by himself.Spiritual Lineage, Shajra Mubarik

After completion of education, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani abandoned the city of Baghdad, and spent twenty-five years as a wanderer in the desert regions of Iraq as a recluse.[2] He was over fifty years old by the time he returned to Baghdad, in AH 521 (AD 1127), and began to preach in public. His hearers were profoundly affected by the style and content of his lectures, and his reputation grew and spread through all sections of society. Not only Muslims, but also Jews and Christians, not only caliphs and viziers but also farmers, merchants and traders allegedly altered their lives in response to Abdul Qadir’s perorations. [3] He moved into the school belonging to his old teacher al-Mukharrimii, there he engaged himself in teaching. Soon he became popular with his pupils. In the morning he taught hadith and tafseer, and in the afternoon held discourse on mysticism and the virtues of the Qur’an. The number of students increased so much that the seminary could no more contain them. He, therefore, decided to extend the premises of the seminary. The students and the people willingly came forward with their wholehearted contributions. The campus buildings were ready in AH 528 and thereafter it came to be known as Madarsai-e-Qadriya.Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani was a Non-Arab (ajami), so he wasn’t fluent in Arabic and was having some difficulties because of it. Once The Prophet Muhammad came to him in a dream, before the time of the midday prayer (Zuhr), and he said to him: “O my dear son, why do you not speak out?” He replied: “O dear father, I am a Non-Arab man. How can I speak fluently in the classical Arabic language of Baghdad?” Holy Prophet said: “Just open your mouth!” He opened his mouth, and The Holy Prophet put his saliva seven times in his mouth. A few moments later, Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib also came & did the same to him six times. And from that time, Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani spoke classical Arabic language with fluency, his memory increased and he felt some great positive spiritual changes in him.
Once some one asked Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani about Mansur Al-Hallaj, he replied: “His claim extended too far, so the scissors of the Sacred Law (Shari’a) were empowered to clip it.”
He busied himself for forty years in the service of the Islam from AH 521 to 561. During this period hundreds embraced Islam because of him and organized several teams to go abroad for the purpose. He arrived in Indian sub-continent in AD 1128, and stayed at Multan (Pakistan). He died in AH 561 (AD 1166) at the age of 91 years, and was buried in Baghdad.
“My Foot is on the Neck of All Walis”
Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani uttered these words from the pulpit in Baghdad. All awliya, present and non-present, bowed their heads in submission. Unlike shatahat of some awliya, these words of Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani were uttered in a state of sobreity, sahw. With the exception of Sahaba and the Imams of Ahle Bait, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani’s foot is on the neck of all awliya.
Book By Benazir Bhutto (Quotes)
بینظیر بھٹو کی کتاب سے اقتباسات
’ائرپورٹ سے نکل کر میرا بکتر بند ٹرک چیونٹی کی رفتار سے چل رہا تھا کیونکہ آس پاس مجمع بڑھتا جا رہا تھا۔شام ڈھلی تو سٹریٹ لائٹس مدھم ہوتے ہوتے بجھنے لگیں۔موبائل فون کے سگنل جیم کرنے والے آلات بھی کام نہیں کر رہے تھے، جن کا کام کسی متوقع خود کش بمبار یا بارود سے بھرے ریموٹ کنٹرولڈ کھلونا ہوائی جہاز کو میرے ٹرک کے قریب پھٹنے سے روکنا تھا۔
میرے شوہر آصف نے دبئی میں ٹی وی پر میرے قافلے کی لائیو کوریج دیکھتے ہوئے مجھ سے بات کی اور یہ سمجھانے کی کوشش کی کہ ٹرک کی چھت پر کھڑے ہو کر عوام کے سامنے آنا خطرناک ہو سکتا ہے۔ لیکن میں نے کہا کہ میں اپنے عوام کے سامنے آ کر ہی ان کا استقبال کروں گی۔
رات گیارہ بجے سے کچھ بعد میں نے ایک شخص کو دیکھا جس نے ایک شیر خوار بچے کو پیپلز پارٹی کے جھنڈے سے ملتے جلتے کپڑے پہنا رکھے تھے اور اسے ہاتھوں میں اٹھائے وہ بار بار مجھے اشارے کر رہا تھا کہ میں بچے کو تھام لوں۔میں نے ہجوم کو اشارہ کیا کہ وہ اس شخص کے لیے راستہ بنائیں۔ لیکن جب اس کے لیے راستہ بن گیا تو وہ آگے آنے سے کترانے لگا اور اس نے بچہ ہجوم میں کسی کے حوالے کرنے کی کوشش بھی کی۔ مجھے تشویش ہوئی کہ بچہ زمین پر گر کر ہجوم کے پیروں میں کچلا نہ جائے، یا کھو نہ جائے۔
میں نے اشارہ کیا کہ نہیں، بچے کو میرے پاس لے کر آؤ۔ میں نے سکیورٹی گارڈ کو بھی اشارہ کیا کہ اس شخص کو ٹرک کے اوپر آنے دیا جائے۔ تاہم جب تک وہ شخص ٹرک تک پہنچا میں ٹرک کے اندر بنے کمرے میں آ چکی تھی کیونکہ میرے پاؤں درد کرنے لگے تھے۔ ہمیں شبہ ہے کہ اسی بچے کے کپڑوں کے نیچے پلاسٹک دھماکہ خیز مواد رکھا گیا تھا۔
ایک ہی جگہ پر دس گھنٹے کھڑے رہنے سے میرے پیر سوج گئے تھے اور جوتا پہننے سے مزید تکلیف ہو رہی تھی۔ میں نے سینڈل کے سٹریپ کھولے اور اپنی سیکرٹری ناہید خان کے ساتھ اس تقریر کے مسودے پر کام کرنے لگی جو مجھے مزار قائد پر کرنی تھی اور جو میری زندگی کی سب سے اہم تقریر تھی۔
ایک نکتے پر بحث کے دوران میں نے کہا کہ ہمیں اس تقریر میں سپریم کورٹ میں دائر کی گئی اس پیٹیشن کا ذکر بھی کرنا چاہیے جس میں استدعا کی گئی ہے کہ قبائلی علاقوں میں تمام سیاسی جماعتوں کو کام کرنے کا موقعہ دیا جائے تاکہ انتہا پسندوں کا سیاسی سطح پر مقابلہ کیا جا سکے۔
ابھی میری بات پوری بھی نہیں ہوئی تھی کہ ایک زوردار دھماکے سے ٹرک لرز گیا۔ پہلے دھماکے کی آواز، پھر روشنی کا فلیش، پھر شیشے ٹوٹنے کی آواز اور اس کے بعد موت کی خاموشی۔ ذرا دیر کے بعد چیخ و پکار شروع ہوئی، اور میں نے دل میں کہا’ اوہ میرے خدا یہ نہیں ہو سکتا۔
ابھی میرے کان اس دھماکے کی شدت سے بج رہے تھے کہ دوسرا اور زیادہ زور دار دھماکہ ہوا۔عین اسی وقت کوئی چیز ٹرک سے ٹکرائی اور یوں محسوس ہوتا تھا وہ چیز ٹرک کی باڈی کے ساتھ گھوم رہی ہے۔ بعد میں میں نے ٹرک کے بائیں جانب، جہاں میرا کمرہ تھا، باڈی پر ٹکراؤ کے دو نشان دیکھے۔
میں نے باہر دیکھا تو اندھیری رات نارنجی روشنی میں نہائی ہوئی تھی اور سڑک پر لاشیں بکھری پڑی تھیں۔
اب میں جان گئی ہوں کہ پیپلز پارٹی کے رنگوں والے کپڑے پہنے بچے کے ساتھ کیا ہوا۔ پارٹی کے ایک پارلیمانی رکن آغا سراج درانی میرے ٹرک کے آگے راستہ بنا رہے تھے۔ انہوں نے مجھے بتایا کہ جب مشکوک آدمی نے بچہ ٹرک کے اوپر پہنچانا چاہا تو انہوں نے اسے منع کر کے وہاں سے چلتا کیا۔ اس پر وہ شخص بچے کو لیے ٹرک کے بائیں جانب چلنے والی ایک پولیس گاڑی کی طرف گیا جس میں موجود افراد نے بھی بچے کو لینے سے انکار کر دیا۔ اس سے آگے والی پولیس وین میں پارٹی کی ایک کونسلر رخسانہ فیصل بلوچ اور ایک کیمرہ مین بھی سوار تھے۔
جب وہ آدمی اس وین کے قریب آیا تو پچھلی پولیس گاڑی والوں نےخبردار کیا کہ ’بچے کو مت لینا، بچے کو مت لینا، بچے کو ٹرک کے اندر مت جانے دینا۔
یہ دونوں پولیس گاڑیاں ٹرک کے متوازی اسی جانب چل رہی تھیں جس طرف ٹرک کے اندر میں بیٹھی ہوئی تھی۔ جب پولیس والے اس مشکوک آدمی کو روکنے کی کوشش کر رہے تھے، اسی وقت پہلا دھماکہ ہوا۔ دوسری پولیس وین میں سوار تمام افراد مارے گئے۔
ایک منٹ سے بھی کم وقفے سے 15 کلوگرام کے ایک کار بم کا دھماکہ کیا گیا اور عینی شاہدین کے مطابق اس کے ساتھ ہی سنائپرز یا ماہر نشانچیوں کو فائرنگ کرتے بھی دیکھا گیا۔

گڑھی خدا بخش میں پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کی مقتول سربراہ بینظیر بھٹو کے چہلم میں ملک بھر سے ہزاروں پارٹی کارکنوں نے شرکت کی ہے۔
اگرچہ پیپلز پارٹی نے اپنے رہنماؤں اور کارکنان سے اپنے اپنے علاقوں میں چہلم کی رسومات ادا کرنے کو کہا تھا تاہم ملک بھر اور آزاد کشمیر سے ہزاروں کی تعداد میں کارکنان گڑھی خدا بخش پہنچے اور قبر پر پھول چڑھائے اور فاتحہ خوانی کی۔
اس موقع پر پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کے شریک چئرمین آصف علی زرداری نے کارکنوں سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ لوگ سمجھتے ہیں کہ سابق وزیراعظم بینظیر بھٹو ان کو کرسی سے باندھ کر گئی ہیں جبکہ وہ ان کو قبر سے باندھ کر گئی ہیں۔
ان کا کہنا تھا کہ پاکستان میں نظام بدلنے کی ضرورت ہے اور بینظیر نظام بدل رہی تھیں اور اسی وجہ سے ان کو قتل کیا گیا۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ وہ بینظیر کا مشن جاری رکھیں گے۔ آصف زرداری نے کارکنان سے وعدہ کیا کہ وہ گڑھی خدا بخش سے یہ عزم کر کے نکل رہے ہیں کہ یا تو وہ ٹولا ختم ہو گا اور اگر وہ اس عزم میں ناکام رہے تو وہ شہید ہو کر گڑھی خدا بخش بھٹو میں دفن ہوں گے۔ آصف علی زرداری نے مختصر خطاب سندھی میں بھی کیا اور کارکنان سے کہا ’یہ وقت سیاست کا نہیں بلکہ عبادت کا ہے۔ سیاست کے دن اور ہیں اور کارکنان سے کہا کہ اپنے غم کو طاقت میں تبدیل کریں۔
بینظیر کے چہلم کے موقع پر رضا ربانی، قائم علی شاہ، صفدر عباسی، بابر اعوان، ناہید خان اور دیگر رہنماؤں نے شرکت کی۔ پیپلز پارٹی کے مرکزی رہنما مخدوم امین فہیم وہاں موجود نہ تھے کیونکہ وہ ہالہ میں ایک بڑا تعزیتی مجلس کر وا رہے ہیں۔
بینظیر کے چہلم کی موقع پر سخت حفاظتی انتظامات کیےگئے تھے جو کہ پہلے کبھی دیکھنے میں نہیں آئے۔ سکیورٹی کی وجہ سے جلسے کے پروگرام کا بھی پہلے سے اعلان نہیں کیا گیا تھا۔
چہلم کے موقع پر بڑی تعداد میں پولیس اور رینجرز کے اہلکار تعینات کیے گئے تھے۔ بینطیر کی قبر کے گرد چار سکیورٹی حصار قائم کیے گئے تھے تاہم کارکنان حفاظتی حصار توڑتے ہوئے مزار میں داخل ہوگئے جس وجہ سے آصف علی زرداری مزار پر فاتحہ خوانی کے لیے نہ آ سکے۔
ساہیوال سے آئے ہوئے ایک کارکن نے کہا ’میں ساری رات سفر کر کے آیا ہوں اور یہاں مجھے پھول رکھنے کی اجازت نہیں دی جا رہی ہے۔ حفاظتی انتظامات اچھی بات ہے لیکن مجھے پھول رکھنے دیں جس کے بعد میں واپس چلا جاؤں گا‘۔
پشاور
ملک کے دیگر حصوں کی طرح پشاور میں بھی پیپلز پارٹی کی مقتول سربراہ محترمہ بے نظیر بھٹو کا چہلم انتہائی عقیدت و احترام سے منایا گیا۔ اس سلسلے میں پیپلز پارٹی ضلع پشاور کے زیراہتمام جناح پارک پشاور میں ایک بڑی تقریب منعقد ہوئی جس میں پارٹی کے صوبائی رہنماؤں کے علاوہ شہر بھر سے کارکنوں نے بڑی تعداد میں شرکت کی۔ اس موقع پر خطاب کرتے ہوئے مقررین نے محترمہ بے نظیر بھٹو کے ملک کے لیے خدمات پر روشنی ڈالی اور انہیں زبردست الفاظ میں خراج تحسین پیش کیا۔
مقررین نے کہا کہ پیپلز پارٹی بینظیر بھٹو کی قتل کا بدلہ ملک میں اٹھارہ فروری کو ہونے والے انتخابات میں بیلٹ کے ذریعے سے لے گی اور مقتول رہنما کا مشن جاری رکھا جائے گا۔ تقریب کے اختتام پر فاتحہ خوانی اور اجتماعی دعا بھی کرائی گئی۔
A page from History-Ahmad Shah Durrani
Durrani Empire
The Durrani Empire was a large state that included modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Khorasan province of Iran and a section of western India,The empire was founded in 1747 by Ahmad Shah Durrani, with its capital at Kandahar. After the death of Ahmad Shah in 1773, kingdom was passed onto his sons followed by his descendants. Ahmad Shah and his descendants were from the Sadozai line of the Abdali (later called Durrani) Pashtuns, making them the second Pashtun rulers of Kandahar, after the Ghilzais.
The Durrani Empire is often considered the origin of the state of Afghanistan. Even before the death of Nadir Shah of Persia, tribes in Afghanistan had been growing stronger and were beginning to take advantage of the waning power of their distant rulers.
Hidustan (INDIA) 1700-1792
Reign of Ahmad Shah Durrani (1747-1772)
Ahmad Shah Durrani
Nadir Shah’s rule ended in June 1747, when he was assassinated. The assassination was likely enough planned by his nephew Ali Qoli, though there is little factual evidence to support this theory. Nonetheless, when the chiefs of the Afghans met later the same year near Kandahar at a Loya jirga (council) to choose a new ruler for the Abdali confederation, Ahmad Shah Abdali was chosen. Despite being younger than other claimants, Ahmad had several overriding factors in his favor:
Ahmed Shah
He was a direct descendant of Sado, patriarch of the Sadozai clan, the most prominent tribe amongst the Pashtun peoples at the time;
He was unquestionably a charismatic leader and seasoned warrior who had at his disposal a trained, mobile force of several thousand cavalrymen;
Not least, he possessed a substantial part of Nadir Shah’s treasury.
One of Ahmad Shah’s first acts as chief was to adopt the title “Durr-i-Durrani” (“pearl of pearls” or “pearl of the age”). The name may have been suggested, as some claim, from a dream dreamt by Ahmad Shah, or as others claim, from the pearl earrings worn by the royal guard of Nadir Shah. The Abdali Pashtuns were known thereafter as the Durrani, and the name of the Abdali confederation was changed to Durrani.
