I hope everyone is doing well.
I personally don't think that when Abdul Qadir Jilani (Rahmathullah Alay) said his neck is on all the wali's necks meant he would be the Qutb Azam for the rest of the time till qiyamat. I believe that he achieved the rank and during his time all the wali's accepted his position. Now when he passed away there would be another one to hold that position.
I know that what is told about Ahmad Tijani that he was the seal of sainthood and his stamp overstamps all other stamps.
But only Allah (SWT) knows who on yawm al qiyamah will have the highest station after the Prophet's (Alayhi Mus Salathu Wa Salam).
Wassalam
On this matter what we individually think holds no weight on what is already established regarding the status of Sayyidinah Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani Qaddas Allahu Sirruhul Azeez.
One of the disciples of Khwaja Sulaiman Tauswi (may Allah be well pleased with him) said, out of pride, "Ghaws Paak’s foot is not on my Sheikh Khwaja Sulaiman Tauswi (may Allah be well pleased with him) ’. Khwaja Sulaiman Tauswi (may Allah be well pleased with him) called him and said "My Murid does not accept me as Wali. One can only become a Wali through Ghaws Al Azam (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu)." Those who know state that if a Wali does not present himself at the Burial Place (Mazaar) of Ghaws Al Azam (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu), whilst in Baghdad, Wilayat is taken away from him.
Please do some search on what Shaykh Ahmed Tijani himself said on Sayyidinah Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani Qaddas Allahu Siruhul Azeez.
