Sheykh Abdol Qāder Gilani is one of the mystics of the 5th century who was eminent in Feqh, Hadith, exegesis and literature. His writing style in didactic literature has ‎influenced some of the prominents like Mohy ed Din ibn Arabi. He chose to preach in Baghdad and he was licorice. In his training Assemblies, more than 400 thousand people used to gather and Sohrewardi, ‎Moqaddasi, and ibn Jozi were among his pupils in mysticism. Fotouh al ghayb is a didactic work written by Abdol Qāder Gilani in which the author explains the epistemological concepts, training and ethical points for the audience. His ‎training method includes coordination between Tariqat and Shari’at, as well as adherence ‎to Qur’an and tradition in order to achieve Haqiqat (ultimate truth). Using a descriptive ‎method and an analytic approach, the present study aims at surveying the ‎principles of mystical trainings declared by Sheikh to a mystic to reach the ultimate ‎truth. Besides, the impact of Sheikh’s teachings' on Nokāt by Bidel, one of the Murids (disciple) of Abdol ‎Qāder in India would be analyzed. Regarding the significance of this study it could be ‎mentioned that Gilani, the founder of the sufi dynasty of Qāderiyeh, has many Murids in ‎India who practice his didactic traditions to purify soul. However, Gilani’s ‎works and teachings are not truly known yet. The present study attempts to depict a more vivid ‎presentation of his didactic and training principles for the researchers. The results of the ‎research show that Bidel and Abdol Qāder have got a lot in common in ethical and didactic issues; however, some differences in their view points is to be demonstrate in this article. ‎
