Syed Muhammad Nizamuddin Auliya (Urdu: ???? ???? ?????? ????????; sometimes spelled Awliya; 1238 – 3 April 1325), also known as Hazrat Nizamuddin, and Mahbub-e-Ilahi (Urdu: ????? ? ????? ? lit.
"Beloved of God") was a Sunni Muslim scholar, Sufi saint of the Chishti Order, and unarguably one of the most famous Sufis on the Indian Subcontinent.
His predecessors were Fariduddin Ganjshakar, Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, and Moinuddin Chishti, who were the masters of the Chishti spiritual chain or silsila in the Indian subcontinent. Nizamuddin Auliya, like his predecessors, stressed love as a means of realising God.
For him his love of God implied a love of humanity.
His vision of the world was marked by a highly evolved sense of religious pluralism and kindness.
It is claimed by the 14th century historiographer Ziauddin Barani that his influence on the Muslims of Delhi was such that a paradigm shift was effected in their outlook towards worldly matters.
People began to be inclined towards mysticism and prayers and remaining aloof from the world.
He often admitted that Hindus are not interested in Islam even after hearing many sermons.
