Meaning and origin of Ghawth
Ghawth follows the Arabic most closely of all the spellings of this name, which means aid sent in response to a desperate call. From the same root comes istaghatha, to plead for help, which the Quran uses when describing the believers turning to their Lord on the day of Badr. Sufi writers place the Ghawth at the summit of the ranks of saints. Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani is the figure most often honoured with that title.
