The 794th URS of Huzoor Gharibnawaz, RA, during 2007, has
since been ended, on July 24, 2007 ( Rajab 6th, 1428 AH ).
" Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti Ajmeri, RA, Sheikh
Abdul Qadir, Jilani, RA, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, RA, Ibne
Aarabi, RA and Farid O ddin Attar, RA, were all
contemporaries."
B i o g r a p h y:
Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, Sanjari, Ajmeri, RA.
Deputy of the Holy Prophet ( pbuh ), in India, Sultan ul
Hind, Hind ul Wali, Khawaja Gharibnawaz, Khawaja
Saheb, , Crown of the Enlightened,
He was born in Sanjar, Iran in 537 Hijra or 1143 AD. At
birth he was named as Moinuddin Hasan. His father's
name was Ghayasuddin and mother's name was bibi
Mahae Noor.
Khawaja Saheb became orphan at the young age of 14.
He inherited a garden and grinding stones. Khawaja
Saheb was related from his mother's and his father's side
to the great Saint Ghaus-ul Azam, RA As history has it,
both met too in their life time.. Like Ghaus Pak, his fame
spread too far and wide. Around this time an incident
occurred that changed the course of his life. A wandering
dervesh - Hazrat Ibrahim Qandoozi walked into the
garden, and young Moinuddin welcomed and enertained
the Darvesh. He was much pleased by the courtesy shown
to him by the young man. He chewed something in his
mouth and gave it to Khawaja saheb to chew it.. Upon
eating it a transformation came over him - he became
displeased with the ways of the world - he sold his garden
and grinding stone and distributed the proceeds amongst
the poor and the needy. and set off in search of the truth.
In the year 1220 AD his search was rewarded, as he
became the disciple of Khawaja Usman Harooni, a great
saint of the Chishti Order. Under his influence he soon
became aware that Sufism is in fact just another name for
love and service to mankind.
For 22 years he served his spiritual master, as they
travelled across the Middle East. He carried his master's
tiffin box and bedding on his head. Eventually his revered
master, being well pleased with his service, appointed him
as his vice to spread the message of love and of service to
mankind. He brought the Chishsti Order to India.
For the purpose of doing Haj he visited Mecca and
Medina. Whereupon the holy Prophet ( pbuh) , showed
him, in a dream the place of Ajmer in the Indian
subcontinent, and instructed him to carry the light of truth
to the suffering humanity there. He was given a gift of a
pomegranate from heaven.
Eventually his travels brought him to the desert town of
Ajmer. There he had to overcome many dfficulties - the
ruler, becoming afraid of his influence over the people,
ordered him to leave - following the divine mandate to
serve God and obey the ruler, he left. He warned that he
would soon return and it so happened that an army came
to Ajmer and deposed that ruler. The will of Allah is not to
be thwarted. In Ajmer the cave where he performed a
spiritual retreat for forty days and nights, his chilla, is still
treated as a place of great reverence and is visited by the
pilgrims.
In Ajmer he was a foreigner in a strange land, not even
knowing the language or the customs, but soon the power
of his personality and simple philosophy impressed all that
met him. His fame was to be carried across the
sub-continent.
In a world that was governed by the base instincts to
survive at all costs and to kill or be killed, he brought the
message of caring for the downtrodden, of being kind to
the orphan and the destitute, of serving others selflessly, of
tireless labour on behalf of those in need, of helping the
sick in body or mind, of kindness to animals, of common
brotherhood and common humanity. These things and
much more are required of us by Allah, so that when we
meet Him, 'He can be pleased with us and we with Him' as
it is said in the holy Qur'an.
Khawaja Saheb taught that such service, when selfless,
was an important kind of prayer. He taught that people
were enslaved to the love of this passing life, to greed, to
selfish ambition, to lust, to anger, to greed and to gold.
Like Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi in the Masnavi, he taught
'why be a slave to silver and gold, break the chains O son,
and be free'. To help free people from this slavery was for
him a prayer - and as you know prayer is of the utmost
importance.
The place where Khawaja Sahib lived in a humble
tenement became a place of pilgrimage for a myriad of
people. Mighty Emperors proceeded on foot to visit it, as
did the millions of the humble and poor. As we speak, in
Ajmer, a half million devoted persons, business men,
peons, chai wallahs, clerks, teachers, doctors, craftsmen,
housewives, beggars, industrialists, shop keepers, actors -
seek the pleasure of Khawaja Saheb. Hoping that the
pleasure Allah had bestowed in him will bring benefits to
them.
He passed away in 1234 AD :
