Muhyadheen Mala is an ode of praise for the Muhyadheen Abdul Khadir Al Gilani composed by the poet Khazi Muhammad of Kozhikode four centuries ago.^[1] Kerala Muslims celebrated its fourth century completion under cultural department last year.

Al-Gilani succeeded the spiritual chain of Junayd Baghdadi. His contribution to thought in the Muslim world earned him the title Muhiyuddin (lit. "The reviver of the faith"), as he along with his students and associates laid the groundwork for the society which later produced stalwarts like Nur ad-Din and Saladin. His Sufi order named after him is generally thought to be one of the most popular Sufi orders of the Islamic world.[4]
