One of the great and most influential Sufi Saints in the Indian sub-continent, at his command, Hazrat Amir Khusro, developed a new language to break down barriers between southern and northern India (including, Nepal, Rangoon, Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and the Afghan border.), to better understand and serve humanity in an integrated way.
Also known as Hazrat Nizamuddin, and Mahbube Elahi ("Beloved of God"). He was a Sufi-saint of the Chishti Order, and an Indian Sunni Muslim scholar, and the most famous sage of the Indian subcontinent.
Muhammad Nizamuddin Auliya(1238-3 April 1325), was born in Badayun, Uttar Pradesh. When he was only 5 years old, his father, Syed Abdullah bin Ahmad Al-Hussaini Badayuni, died. After his father's death, he lived in Delhi with his mother, Bibi Zulekha.
At the age of twenty, Nizāmuddīn went to Ajodhan (Pakpattan Sharif in present-day Pakistan) and became a student of the Sufi saint Fariduddin Ganjshakar, better known as Baba Farid Ganj Shakar.
His predecessors were Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, Fariduddin Ganjshakar, and Moinuddin Chishti, who were the teacher of the Chishti spiritual Silsila(chain) in the Indian subcontinent.
Nizamuddin Auliya, like his predecessors, emphasized love as a means of knowing God. To him, God's love meant love for mankind. His view of the world is marked by a highly evolved sense of religious kindness and pluralism.
The 14th-century historian Ziauddin Barani states that his influence on the Muslims in Delhi was so profound that it changed the way they viewed world affairs. People began to tend to deal with mysteries and prayers and lived far from the evils of the world.
