Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (circa 1141-1230), known as Gharib Nawaz (the Benefactor of the Poor), was a Persian Sufi saint and philosopher who established himself in Ajmer, India, during the late 12th century. He is recognized as the foremost saint of the Chishti Order within the Indian subcontinent.
The appellation "Gharib Nawaz" signifies his commitment to aiding the impoverished and marginalized. His philosophy centered on the principles of love, empathy, and universal human service, irrespective of social standing, faith, or origin. His tomb (Dargah) in Ajmer stands as a prominent and frequently visited Muslim pilgrimage destination in India.
