Hadrat Shaykh Abu Sa'eed al-Mubarak ibn Ali al-Makhzumi (rahimahullah) was the spiritual guide (Murshid) of Hadrat Ghaus-e-Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (rahimahullah). He bestowed Khilafat upon the young Abdul Qadir after recognising his extraordinary spiritual potential. He is a pivotal link in the Shajrah Attariya — the Qadiri spiritual chain that connects through to Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat.
