It is a historical fact that the Great
Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty (R.A)
was the greatest preacher as well as founder
of Islam in India. Though Mohd. Bin Qasim
raided Sindh and entered India, Hazrat Ali
AI Hujwari Data Ganj Bux (R.A) came up to
Lahore and an old faqir, Hazrat Rowshan Ali
Dervesh also reached Ajmer, but they left
without sowing any seeds of Islamic
doctrines' during Prithvi Raj's reign. The
Great Hazrat Khwaja Baba (R.A.), the Holy
Saint of God, arrived at Ajmer with his few
followers and camped in a grove of shady
trees where Alamgiri mosque is now situated.
Raja's camel keepers objected to their halt
at the camels resting spot. The Raja's camel
keepers insisted that the place was meant
only for Raja's camels. Thus these strangers
must vacate immediately and go somewhere
else. On hearing such angry and rude
instructions from the camel keepers, the
Great Hazrat Khwaja Baba (R.A.) became angry
and replied. "We are leaving this place, but
the camels must not get up "The Raja's staff
took this remark as a joke. The next day,
when the camels did not get up in spite of
all efforts to make them move, this incident
was brought to the notice of Raja Prithvi
Raj Chowhan. The Raja became very perturbed
and he asked his people to apologize to the
Saint. When the camel keepers did so, Hazrat
Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz (R.A.) said, "Now the
camels will get up." On their return the
Raja's men were surprised to see the camels
standing.
