Sultan-ul-Hind Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti Sanjari (radi Allahu anhu) popularly known as Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz (The Benefactor of the Poor) was the founder of the Chistiya Order of Sufis in India. Mission of Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz
It is a well known historical fact that in spreading the ethical and spiritual values of Islam, major and effective contributions have been Made by the Walis of A
LLAH (saints). They made a direct contact with the masses served and loved them, lived with them in the realisation of Eternal Truth. The proof of this is more than evident from the history of growth of Islam in India. Although Islam had penetrated in this subcontinent in the first century of Hijra, but the noble task of inspiring the people to its tenets and values in India was accomplished by Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A.) popularly known as Khwaja Saheb and Khwaja Gharib Nawaz. He did it all through his great moral power, glorious and appealing character, with love and dedication to mankind, without any worldly resources of wealth, power, force and material means. Khwaja Saheb was a scholar a great repute. He interpreted the true Islamic message of love for mankind and through that, the love for the Almighty creator. He preached the Quranic philosophy of the unity of religion and worked out its potentialities for the whole humanity. He was the greatest mystic of his time. He laid the foundation of the liberal Chishtia order of Sufis in India, and inspired millions of souls to be his followers and thus served the masses of the Indian Sub-continent. The life and mission of Khwaja Saheb have been of an exceptional character as compared with any other saint in India. His simple teaching penetrated even stony heart, his affectionate look silenced the fiercest of his enemies. His matchless piety and blessings knew no distinction and his "spiritual power", amazed and did defied his bitterest adversaries who came to harm him but were inspire to embrace Islam and become his devotees for rest of the life. He brought the message of universal love and peace. He chose the way of non-compulsion in the true spirit of holy Quran he says : "Let there be no compulsion in religion, will thou compel men to become believers? No soul can believe but by the persuasion of Allah". Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A.) followed this dictum strictly throughout his mission. It is because of this reason that he is popularly known as ' Gharib Nawaz' which means the one who shows kindness to the poor. This was later reinforced by succeeding Chishtia Sufis, who became religious pioneers in national integration in the country. They fulfilled the objective of bringing together various castes, communities and races, elevating the humanity from the morass of materialistic concerns, which is the bane of mankind even today. The teachings of Khwaja Sahib have been recorded in several books on mysticism. The essence of his teaching is :
Closest to Allah is one who possesses the following three qualities:
Magnanimity of the river. Kindness of the sun. Humility of the Earth. Noblest of the characters is possessed by the one who is:
Bountiful in poverty. Content in hunger. Cheerful in grief. Friendly in hostility. Surest way to keep off the internal punishment in the hell is:
To feed the hungry. To redress the aggrieved. To help the distressed. SACRED SAYING
