Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti R.H (536–633 AH / 1141–1236 CE), known as "Gharib Nawaz" (Benefactor of the Poor) and "Sultan-ul-Hind" (Spiritual King of India), was the founder of the Chishti order in the Indian subcontinent. Born in Sistan (modern Iran/Afghanistan), he traveled extensively across the Islamic world, studying under great masters before settling in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. He arrived in Ajmer during the reign of Prithviraj Chauhan and through his spiritual magnetism, piety, and service to humanity, attracted thousands to Islam.
His dargah in Ajmer is one of the most visited shrines in the world, attracting people of all faiths who come seeking blessings and spiritual solace. His annual Urs is one of the largest religious gatherings in India, lasting six days and drawing millions of devotees from across the globe. His famous saying: "Love all and hate none" encapsulates his universal message.
