The Urs of the spiritualist of great and grand status who is also the

Dynasty
Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti is held by the Muslims of South Asia and

teachings and the last abode in Ajmer Sharif has always been an origin of
source of inspiration and strength for millions—all-over.
The Chishtiya dynasty initiated by the great saint with immense spiritualism

Khawaja Ghareeb Nawaz [RA] who came to the soils of India came as Sultan-al
Hind, a spiritual title.
The Links
The renowned religious scholar, Hazrat Khawaja Qutabuddin Bakhtiar Kaki [RA]
was highly inspired by the visionary of the times and became his devotee.
Thereafter, the Chishtiya
reign traveled to yet another spiritualist, Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj
Shakar [RA] of Pak Pattan Sharif, a blessed soil in Pakistan. Hazrat Baba
Fariduddin Ganj Shakar [RA] was bestowed a great religious scholar’s
knowledge by Hazrat Khawaja Qutabuddin Bakhtiar Kaki [RA] the moment he
[Baba Sahib (RA)] became his devotee. The dynasty traveled onwards as Hazrat
Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia-e-Mehboob [RA] became a close follower of Hazrat
Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar [RA].
The Shrines
While the shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Ghareeb Nawaz [RA] is located in Ajmer
Sharif, Hazrat Khawaja Qutabuddin Bakhtiar Kaki [RA] and Hazrat Khawaja
Nizamuddin Aulia-e-Mehboob [RA] have their last abode in New Delhi in India
while Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar [RA] rests till eternity on the
soils of Pakistan at Pak Pattan Sharif.

A significant aspect, indexed in the books is that the fêted tributes, paid
in Persian language; ‘Ganj Bakhsh-e-Faiz-e-Alam Mazhar-e-Noor-e-Khuda,
Naqis’an Ra Peer-e-Kamil, Kamila’an Ra Rahna’ma’ which are inscribed at the
mausoleum of the great mystic saint and disseminator of the message of Islam
through his works, with ‘Kashaful Ma’ajoob’ atop, Hazrat Abul Hasan Ali
