ra iik of Saiyid, depending on an assumption that the original Shaikh was
descended from Hasan-bin-'Ali-bin-AJbi Talib, is not undisputed. Shaikh
^Abdul Qadir, Gilani, had, it is said, three sons, of whom one, 'Abdul
'Aziz, was the progenitor of the Qadiriyah family of Baghdad, while his
brothers ; Abdul Wahhab and 'Abdur Razzaq, who migrated to India
and Syria respectively, founded Qadiriyah families which still exist in
those countries. The Qadiriyah of Baghdad pay much attention to tho
education of their children; and the members of the family, who in
general appreciate the importance of Muhammadan learning to persons
ioldino* a position such as theirs, sometimes voluntarily continue their
studies in later life. The present Naqib, Saiyid 'Abdur Rahman Effendi,
is considered to be one of the greatest Muhammadan scholars of his time;
but he is represented as vain and pompous-characteristics which the
adulation that he receives from almost all Sunnis must certainly tend
to foster; and he is certainly timid. The Naqib and his relations own
large private estates, which are distinct from the lands attached to the
shrine of Shaikh 'Abdul Qadir.
Extreme attention and deference are paid to the Naqib and his Relations of
family by many of the most influential and wealthy, as well as by the the Naqib's
humblest and poorest, among Indian and Afghan Muslims. Tho tomb

of the Naqib of Baghdad and used to send him annually a gift of
money and some gold embroidered shawls. In May 1905 a sum of
Rs. 5,000 and a box of valuable cloth was despatched from Haidarabad to
Baghdad in charge of an officer of His Highness's Irregular Troops;
and one of the Nizam's Begams, it was said, accompanied the presents,
taking with her a few personal attendants.
