Overview
Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan Islam, the term means ‘submission to the will of God’ and the religion means ‘peace, mercy, forgiveness and faith in one God who is above all, who is eternal’. Being the second largest spread religion, Islam is all about having faith in one God and his several messengers (prophets), who spread the words of the almighty. These words carry the whole essence of the beautiful world gifted by God, by; Allah, along with the preaching on how mankind should lead its life. Further, those divine human souls who selflessly believe and practice the Islamic religion are known as Muslims.
Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chishti’s grave, the Dargah, is a shrine to the Sufi saint. He arrived in Ajmer from Persia in 1192 and preached Islam there up to his passing in 1236. The shrine serves not only Muslims but also people of other faiths and other religions. The Mughal Era is when the tomb first became significant. As further buildings were erected, various constructions were transported to the grave. Humayun built the shrine, and the Nizam of Hyderabad built the gate, but since so many emperors frequented the sacred site, additions continued to be made.
