Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Khawaajah Saiyyid Mu'een ud deen Hasan

Chishti Ajmeri Sarkaar Gareeb Nawaaz [Rahmatul Laah Alaieh]-

 

Hazrat Khawaajah Saahib had acquired the external knowledge and now set out to acquire a Spiritual Guide. Near Neshapur was a village called Harwaan or Haroon.

Allaah Kareem (Almighty and Glorious is He) says in the Holy Qur'aan in the 29th Soorah, al-Ankabuut, Verse 69:

 

And those who strive in Our way (to know Us and Our Attributes), We will certainly guide them to Our Paths.

He stood so still at night for such long durations that the blood capillaries on his blessed foot used to swell.
