Who was Shaykh Abdul-Qaadir al-Jilaani - Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

Who was Shaykh Abdul-Qaadir al-Jilaani (rahimahullah Ta'ala)?  The reality is that the Soofi's of today claim that he is theirs.  Some go to the extreme of setting out worship for him, calling upon him and slaughtering for him.  

Once, when I visited Pakistan, I asked an individual who this Abdul-Qaadir al-Jilaani was that he kept calling upon.  He said:  "Don't you know him?  He was a prophet." 

Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) in lesson 7 of his al-Uboodiyyah series of lessons, introduces us briefly to one of our scholars from the Salaf.  An Imam of the Hanabilah (he followed the Fiqh methodology of the Hanbali's).  An individual who was upon the 'Aqeedah of Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah Ta'ala).
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
