Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chisti Radi Allahu anhu occupies a prominent place among the spiritual Healers of the world.

In his temperament as in the circumstance of his life Khwaja Sahib was destined for an extra ordinary career.

Into a tottering civilization, fraught with material acquisition, which guaranteed no safety to human life and which conferred no spiritual freedom on human beings he burst forth all the masterful force of his personality, There is a complete blending of greatness and grace, mediation and action precept, practice, indifference of the mystic and idealism of a Saint.

He stands for all that is true, Beautiful and Noble..

He is a SYMBOL OF LOVE, HARMONY AND TRUTH.

The sources of this power may be traced to his own exceptional endowments.

Throughout his life, he exhibited the noble traits of character so peculiar to the house of Prophet Mohammed Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam to which he belonged.

Only a few more days till the Urs of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti Ajmeri in India.

Thousands IF NOT MILLIONS OF PILGRIMS will descend upon this great shrine for barkaat and blessings.

18th - 26th August 2004 1st Rajab to 9th Rajab 1425

Inshallah Allah give me strength and guide me to Ajmer Sharif one day soon with my family.

Thousands IF NOT MILLIONS OF PILGRIMS will descend upon this great shrine for barkaat and blessings.

My personal recollections of Ajmer Shareef are not very good as i was quite small with my parents.(around mid 80's)

We went to Ajmer Shareef for zyarat during the Urs of Khawja saheb and stayed at Sayed Aziz Rahman Burraqui with many other pilgrims.There were Muslims from every part of the world,USA,Indonesia,S.Africa,Pakistan as well as all parts of India.

The biggest surprise was the number of Hindu's and Sikhs (and possible other religions )who also came to receive blessings and to pray for their loved ones.

This is the power and empathy of Khwaja Saheb who was a true sufi saint of the highest calibre-totally devoted to Prophet Muhammad (sallal allahoalaihi wasallam ) and the almighty Allah the most compassionate the most merciful.

[MRT]

As some of my memories come back to me, the only down side of that trip was the amount of poor,and crippled people there were.There were literally hundreds lining up every street and back street- it was very difficult.

Hazrat Khawaja Data Sahib appeals to every creed and race, who was not discriminatory upon relegion.He loved mankind and was loved by our Creator.

Bhar do joli meri ya khwaja

[Jamil]

The Urs will be in full swing now- with possibly millions in Ajmer Sharif.

On his way to Ajmer and passing through Afghanistan, Hadrat Khwaja Mu'inuddin Chisti's (radi Allahu anhu) spiritual impact converted the notorious and cruel Yadgar Muhammad into one of Hadrat Khwaja Mu'inuddin's (radi Allahu anhu) devoted Mureeds.

Yadgar Muhammad did not previously recognise and respect the first three Caliphs of Islam, neither had he any respect for Sufis nor for any holy saints. Now, after meeting Hazrat Khwaja Saheb (radi Allahu anhu), Yadgar Muhammad repented and distributed his wealth to the poor and needy, divorced his many wives, freed all his slaves and renounced the world. He stayed and travelled with his Murshid.

Subhanallah.

Ajmer was established in the early seventh century,after the Sultanate fell into the hands of Sultan Mohammed Ghori.A tall fort (India's first hill fort)was constructed on a hill which was named Ajaimeru meaning invincible hill. This was later named Taragah and is symbolic as Khawaja Saheb outwitted a hindu yogi for spiritual power and mysticism.This yogi later succumbed and happily embraced Islam.

Taragarh is very famous and has many treats along the way onto the top of the hill as i found.When i went there was a quawali going on with many philgrims evrywhere.

Hope you'ave all done fateha and niyaz for kahwja sahebs chaati today.

JazakAllah brother Salim, for the picture of Tara gah.

It brings back great spiritual memories for me and my mum when we visited Ajmer Shareef many years ago.

The view is spectacular from the top by the way.

The noor of the gumbad of Khawaja Gharib Nawaz shining over all Ajmer and Rajasthan.Allah ta'ala give me tawfiq to return soon for more blessings from Sultan-e-Hind RadiAlaho Anho.
