Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam was born on Saturday, December 14, 1935 (Ramadan 17, 1354 AH) in the village of Sandhu Sayyidan, located in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. He was born into a distinguished scholarly and spiritual household, the son of the eminent scholar of his time, Shaykh as-Sayyid Walayat 'Ali Shah al-Jilani. His noble lineage traces back to Sayyiduna al-Ghawth al-A'zam Shaykh as-Sayyid 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani through 22 generations, by way of his eldest son and first hereditary trustee, Sayyiduna Shaykh as-Sayyid 'Abd al-Wahhab al-Jilani. Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam is an al-Hasani wa'l-Husayni Sayyid, meaning the noble Shaykh is a direct descendant of both Sayyiduna Imam al-Hasan and Sayyiduna Imam al-Husayn.

In his pursuit of sacred knowledge, Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam travelled extensively throughout the Indian subcontinent and the blessed lands of the Hijaz. Alongside his mastery of the Islamic sciences, the noble Shaykh also attained academic excellence, earning both a PhD and a Bachelor of Laws degree. From a young age, Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam began delivering public sermons, speaking with eloquence and a distinctive blend of sweetness in expression and sharp intellectual insight. The noble Shaykh's lectures are marked by grace and engagement, often enriched with gentle humour and refined wit to convey deeper spiritual and insightful meanings. Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam exemplifies the timeless virtues of chivalry, humility and noble generosity which he inherits from his Pious Ancestors.

Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam arrived in England during the 1970s, at a time when the Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah had a limited presence in the UK. While travelling across the country delivering lectures and engaging with communities, the noble Shaykh organised the first Mawlid an-Nabi procession in the UK. This historic event marked the beginning of what would become a widespread tradition. Since then, Mawlid an-Nabi processions have spread across all major towns and cities throughout the UK. The largest of these is held annually in Walthamstow, East London under the leadership of Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam and attracts tens of thousands of participants. Residing in Walthamstow until 2023, the noble Shaykh continued to travel extensively throughout England, delivering lectures and providing spiritual guidance to his devoted disciples.

After nearly 50 years of service in England, Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam permanently returned to Pakistan in 2023 to establish the Qadria Jilania University in Hussainia Sharif, Islamabad. As the university's founder and headteacher, the noble Shaykh now leads the institution and teaches a new generation of students. Learners from across Pakistan are enrolling and benefiting from his profound knowledge, religious guidance and lifelong dedication to the revival of traditional Islamic scholarship. Despite relocating, Hadrat Mufakkir al-Islam continues to maintain a strong connection with the UK. Each year, during the blessed month of Rabi' al-Awwal, the noble Shaykh returns to England to lead the Mawlid an-Nabi procession in Walthamstow, continuing a cherished tradition that holds great significance for the community.
