The founder of the Qadiriyya, Abdul Qadir Jilani, was a respected scholar and preacher.[9] Having been a pupil at the school (madrasa) of Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi he became the leader of this school after his death in 1119 CE. Being the new shaykh, he and his large family lived comfortably in the madrasa until his death in 1166, when his son, Abdul Wahhab, succeeded his father as the Head of the Qadiriyya Sufi Order. The Qadiriyya flourished gradually and remained an influential Sunni institution. By the end of the fifteenth century the Qadiriyya had distinct branches and had spread to Morocco, Spain, Turkey, India, Ethiopia, Somalia, and present-day Mali. It gained popularity and is perhaps the most notable order in the Sufi world due to its later widespread in the subcontinent.[10]

In the Indian subcontinent, Muhammad Qadiri is held responsible for spreading his Qadiriyya order. His method of spreading the teachings of the Sufi doctrine of Faqr through his poetry and through his writings. He granted the method of Dhikr and stressed that the way to reach Divinity is not through asceticism or excessive or lengthy prayers but it is selfless love carved out of annihilation in Allah called Divine Love.[11][12]
