Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty
Sanjari (R.A) after having brought the
message of Islam and having preached its
doctrines on the soil of India, left for his
heavenly abode on 6th Rajab 633 Hijri
(March-1233 A.D.) at the age of ninety-seven
at Ajmer Sharif (Iinna-lillahi wainna ilaihi
rajiun). It is a fact that, in the past 750
years, millions of people have been inspired
by his love and pious preaching. A large
number of pilgrims are attracted to his Holy
Shrine at Ajmer Sharif from every nook and
corner of the world. They come to pay their
homage and receive blessings.
The Great Hazrat Khwaja Baba’s (R.A.) life
and mission is indeed rare. His simple
teaching, his affection for the down trodden
and his piety amazed everyone –even his
enemies. He was a man of peace and goodwill
towards all of God's creatures. These gifts
were bestowed by the Almighty only upon his
chosen few, whom he commands to reform
mankind whenever if goes astray. Due to the
absence of authentic documents, there is a
slight disagreement on the Great Hazrat
Khwaja Baba’s (R.A.) date of birth and
death. Even the Enquiry Committee on Dargah
of Khwaja Baba’s (R.A.) affairs, in their
report dated 13th October 1949 is undecided.
His death anniversary is therefore
celebrated every year during the first six
days of Rajab (Islamic month). If it is held
that the year of Khwaja Baba's birth is
between 535 A.H. and 637 A.H. as is the
general opinion of many. We can easily
conclude that all the relevant events of the
Saint's life up to the time of his death
reconcile chronologically, leaving no room
for doubt.
