Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti / Nizamuddin Auliya – The Real Face
Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti / Nizamuddin Auliya – The Real Face
Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti is regarded as foremost preacher of Sufism in India. Akbar , the Mughal emperor believed that it was his blessing which begged him a son and the heir for the mughal throne. This belief spread and people started offering prayers at his mazar. Now people have started singing stories of Miracles associated with Chisti. But very few are aware about the true History. Very few knows about the real stand of Prithviraj Chauhan, the last Hindu ruler and Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti.
Different stories cooked up that Khwaja is a mystic with high spiritual powers. But the truth is something else. The belief of Khwaja in sharia and support to Muslim invader Muhammad Gori in establishing Islamic rule in India clearly outlines his inclination towards Islam.
We will take few examples from his life which will create doubts in our mind about his so called secular credentials.
Fawaidu’l –fu’ad says that when Khwaja arrived in Delhi from Lahore seven hundred people (Hindus), besides hamidu’din – din dihlawi, embrace Islam
(A history of Sufism in India –Saiyid Athar Abbas Rizvi,page 117 vol.1).
Khwaja visit to Ajmer is mentioned as full of miracles.More sort of exaggerated stories. Few stories are mentioned as....
Since Khwaja arrival in Ajmer caused lot of dispute with Prithviraj.
1. Reaching there he decided to sit under a tree, but camel keepers ordered him away as the area belonged to the Raj.
(The truth is that Khwaja knowingly entered the restricted area of Prithviraj. When he was ordered to vacate he resisted. A story was cooked that Khwaja wished that none of the Rai's camels will be able to stand of their own legs and it happened. (seems to be some drug intoxication leading to muscle paralysis). Later the camels recovered by own. It was considered as miracle by Khwaja.
2. The Khwaja and his followers moved to a place near the Anasagar Lake. His servants killed a cow and cooked kebabs for him. Some member of the khwaja party went to Anasagar and the others to Pansela Lake for ablutions. There were one thousand temples on the two lakes. The Brahmans stopped the ablutions and the party complained to the Khwaja. He sent his servant to bring water for his ewer. As soon as the ewer touched the Pansela Lake, all the lakes, tanks and wells around became dry. The Khwaja went to the Anasagar lake temple and asked the name of the idol. He was told it was called Sawi Deva. The Khwaja asked whether the idol had talked to them. On receiving a negative reply he made the idol recite kalma and converted it into a human being, naming it Sa’di. This caused a sensation in the town. Prithviraj ordered his Prime Minister Jaipal who was also a magician, to avert the evil influence of the Khwaja. Jaipal proceeded to fight the Khwaja with 700 magical dragons, 1500 magical discs and 700 disciples. The Khwaja drew a circle bringing his party within it under his protection , and succeeded in killing all the dragons and disciples. Pithaura and Jaipal begged the Khwaja forgiveness. The Khwaja prayer restored water to the lakes, tanks and wells. A large number of people accepted Islam. Pithaura refused tom accept Islam and the Khwaja prophesied he would be handed over to the Islamic army.

(Truth is that the area around lakes was considered as sacred by Hindus. killing cow being sacred is considered as heinous crime. Visit of Khwaja to the Anasagar lake temple lead to controversies. Hindus were upset by cow killing. Rest all are fake stories which are difficult even for an ignorant to believe.)
3. Sheikh Nizamuddin-din Auliya believed that when Khwaja Muinuddin reached Ajmer, India was ruled by Pithaura rai’s (Prithvi Raj Chauhan) and his capital was Ajmer. Pithaura and his high officials resented the sheik’s presence in their city, but the latter’s eminence and his apparent power to perform miracles, prompted them to refrain from taking action against him. A disciple of the Khwaja’s was in the service of Prithviraj Raj’s. After the disciple began to receive hostile treatment from the Rajs, the Khwaja sent a message to Pithaura in favor of the Muslim. Pithaura refused to accept the recommendation, thus indicating his resentment of, the khwaja’s alleged claims to understand the secrets of the unseen. When Khwaja mu’inu’d-din heard of this reply he prophesied: “We have seized Pithaura alive and handed him over to the army of Islam.” about the same time sultan Muhammad Gori arrived from ghazna, attacked the forces of Pithaura and defeated them. Pithaura was taken alive and thus the khwaja’s prophesy was fulfilled. (Ref- amir khwurd, siyaru’l – auliya, delhi,1885,pp.45-47)
(The above reference is by a renowned Sufi Nizamuddin Auliya for chisti. Both are considered as preachers of brotherhood and humanity.
The above reference proves that they were nothing more then preachers of Islam whose main aim was only and only to spread ISLAMIC IMPERIALISM.)
