Shah aast hussain badshah aast hussain
deen nast hussain depana aast hussain
sardar nada dast-e-dar dast-e-yazid
haq`qa be illah hi aast hussain

Hussain is the Master, Hussain is the King,
Hussain is Faith, Hussain is Refuge for the Faith,
He gave his head but not his hand in Yazeed's hand,
Verily Hussain is the foundation of La'Illah.

That you for that bro. I wanted to ask if it is accurate to term Hinduism as "paganism", given that the latter is a way of acknowledged witchcract and other assorted kufr's not associated with our neighbours of a thousand years, with whom we co-existed peacefully on Indian soil until the brutish Britts came in and started playing their games..

From the land of paganism i.e. Ajmer, Khwaja Moinuddin started the spiritual movement of the propagation of the Truth. His efforts bore fruit and within a short period of sixteen years, the condition of Ajmer was changed. It became the nerve center of moral and spiritual leadership in India, leveled the way for a grand religious and social revolution, and provided opportunity to countless people to lead a life of equality and honor.
He was kind and forgiving. Once a man came to him with the intention of murder. He read his intention spiritually, and treated him very kindly, and asked him, to do what he had intended. The man was ashamed and requested to be punished. Khwaja Moinudin replied, ?The mendicant's habit is, whoever does evil to them, they treat him well." He forgave the man who later became his follower.


In spite of his renunciation of worldly things, his monastery was famous for his generosity and magnanimity. So much food was cooked in his kitchen that a poor, a beggar, or needy never went hungry from his gate. He is also known as Gharib Nawaz (patron of the poor). A large Kitchen even today serves the hungry and the poor of all faiths from the campus of his monastery. His tomb is one of the holiest places in India where pilgrims, Muslims as well as Hindus come from every corner of South Asia to pay their homage.


He died in 1229. Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti went into his chamber after night prayers and closed the door. He did not permit anyone to enter. All night long, the people outside heard a mystical sound coming from inside of his room. At the approach of dawn, the sounds stopped. Sensing that there was something unusual because the door remained closed at the time of morning prayers, his devotees opened the door and found him dead.

Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti left Medina for India. He continued his journey, passing through Isfahan, Bokhara, Herat and Lahore. In Lahore, he stayed at the tomb of Ali Hajveri Data Ganj Bukhsh, and meditated there for two weeks, and when he finished his meditation, he said a couplet in Farsi:

Ganj Buksh Faiz-e-Alam Mazhar-e-Noor-e-Khuda

Naqisa-ra Pir-e-Kamil, Kamila-ra Rahnuma


Trans.:
Ganj Buskh (Bestower of Spiritual Treasures) is a grace to the world; a manifestation of Divine Light.
For beginners a perfect spiritual teacher; for perfected, a leader.


On his arrival in India, the country was in a state of depression. On state's northwestern border the kingdom of the Ghaznavids was spreading havoc. Foreign invasions had weakened India and the social condition in India was deteriorating. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, arrived in Ajmer in 1165, on his divine mission. At that time, Ajmer was ruled by Raja Rai Pithora of the Chohan dynasty. In his court, he had a large number of powerful magicians with Ajai Pal as their leader. Khwaja Moinuddin stayed on a hill close to Ana Sagar Lake now known as the Chillah Khwaja Sahib. At the arrival of Khwaja Moinuddin, there was not even a single Muslim in the state. Khwaja Moinuddin stayed on the camel stable of the Raja of Ajmer. When the camel drivers returned with the camels from the grazing grounds in the evening and objected to his stay and the Royal soldiers removed him from the place forcibly. Khwaja Moinuddin moved away to another place saying: "Now, the camels shall sit here." The other day when the camel drivers tried to raise the camels they failed to do so. They realized of their misbehavior to a holy man, beseeched of his pardon, which he readily granted. He asked them that whoever made the camel sit would raise them. When the camel drivers returned they saw the camels moving about. The news of this strange anecdote reached the ears of the Raja and the people flocked to him in droves, and many non-believers accepted Islam on his hand.

The Raja was not happy with his stay in Ajmer and started harassing him one way or the other. When nothing worked, he put the yogis after him. Jiapal, the Chief Pundit (priest) of the temple, came to face him along with his disciples. Khwaja Moinuddin gave him some water to drink, as soon as he drank it, his condition changed, and fell on the feet of Khwaja Moinuddin and accepted Islam.
Many of the royal servants embraced Islam on the hand of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Raja's daughter too became a Muslim. The events made the Raja upset and he threatened him to evict from Ajmer. In reply to the threats he said,? We turned him out and entrusted him".

Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's words proved true. The famous Muslim ruler Sultan Shahab-uddin Mohammad Ghouri attacked India, and became the new ruler of the state by defeating the Raja.

Sayings of Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti, r.a.

1. Without performing Namaz (prayer), none can approach Allah (God), because Namaz is the climax (mi'raj) in the process of such an approach for the pious.

2. If all the rules of Namaz were not followed properly, it is struck back on the face of him who offers such a Namaz.

3. The heart of a lover (True lover of Allah) constantly burns with the fire of love, so much so that whatever intrudes upon its sanctity is burnt to ashes.

4. A sin committed does not harm an individual so much as looking down upon one's own fellow human beings.

5. Of all the worship that pleases Almighty Allah, the most is the granting of relief to the humble and the oppressed.

6. Performance of charity is the key of attaining the estate of a philanthropist.

7. The one who does not perform devotion of Allah is engaged in the career of earning a sinful living.

8. There are four cardinal virtues of the individual self: (i) refraining from begging in the state of penury; (ii) showing the attitude of being well-fed when feeling hungry; (iii) maintaining a cheerfulness in the time of sorrow; and (iv) befriending the enemy.

9. That man is a true devotee of Almighty Allah, who resigns with pleasure to the misfortune that comes from his beloved (Almighty Allah).

10. The path of Love of God is such a path that whosoever steps into it, loses himself.

11. For a follower of the path of Truth, it is worse than sin to disdain or look down upon anyone.

12. Those who are true Lovers of God give away both of the worlds for the sake of their Beloved and even then feel that they have done nothing worthy.

13. Perfection in faith is evident by three things: (i) Fear, (ii) Hope, and (iii) Love
