Hazrath Khwaja Faridul Mashaikh رضي الله عنه

A son was born in the year 1381 A.H. to the noble Gardezi Sadaat family. Emerging from the courtyard of Syed Khairatul Hasan رضي الله عنه, the sacred ancestral home in Ajmer, this little star rapidly ascended to become the beacon of light for the nation of India. This is not a tale of an ordinary individual, but rather the remarkable story of Faridul Hasan رضي الله عنه – the shining silver star among the Ajmer Gardezi sadaat. He embodied the light of truth and the guiding force along the challenging path, a genuine hero adept at problem-solving who obliterated the veil of denial. In a time when negative discourse about the Sahabahs began to circulate among the people of Ajmer, it was this exceptional man who courageously countered their words and silenced their criticism.

BIRTH

Faridul Masaikh Hazrat Allama pir Syed Faridul Hasan Chishti رضي الله عنه came into this world on the 21st of Dhul Hijjah, 1381 Hijra (1962). In those times, the custom of giving birth in hospitals, as we see today, was non-existent. Back then, particularly in places like Uttar Pradesh, the responsibility of childbirth and related matters fell upon the unprivileged, impoverished women from lower strata of society. These women were often not afforded the luxury of proper hygiene or even the basic comforts for their meals.

Contrastingly, by the immense grace of Allah, the birth of Faridul Hasan رضي الله عنه, along with all subsequent milestones, was meticulously overseen by the blessed hands of his own grandmother . Thus, his journey in this worldly life commenced within the sanctity of his mother's womb, guided by the benevolent touch of his father. This protection ensured that he remained untouched by the perils that could have arisen from less careful circumstances.

FAMILY LINEAGE

Faridul Hasan's رضي الله عنه lineage traces its connection to the Prophet ﷺ through Khwaja Fakhruddin gardezi رضي الله عنه. He is the son of Khwaja Syed Hayatul Hasan, who in turn is the son of Khwaja Syed Khairatul Hasan, and so on. The lineage further extends through Khwaja syed Noor Muhammad, Khwaja Syed shaor Ali, Khwaja Syed Wilayat Ali, Khwaja Syed Sifat Ali, Khwaja Syed Ameer Ali, Khwaja Syed Hasan Ali, Khwaja Syed Muhammad Tahir Syed Badiuddin Baddha, Khwaja Syed Jalal, Khwaja Syed Wajihuddin, Khaja Syed Abdul Qadr, Khaja Syed Hasan, Khaja Syed Ishaq, Khaja Syed Yakub, Khaja Syed Idris, Khaja Syed Mahbub Ahmad, Khaja Syed Rafiuddin Bahlul, Khaja Syed Wahiduddin, Khaja Raliuddin (Maulana Masood), Khaja Fahhruddin Gardesi, Khaja Syed Ahmad, Khaja Syed Shah Swadruddin, Khaja Syed Shah Nizamuddin, and finally Khaja Syed Haja Abul Qasim Syed Jamaluddin Hussain, who is connected to Syed Imam Musa Al-Qadim, Imam Jafar As-Sadiq, Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir, Imam Ali Zainul Abidin, Imam Hussain, and ultimately to Aliyib Abitwalib and Syedath Fatimah رضي الله عنهم أجمعين

Faridul Hasan’s رضي الله عنه lineage is deeply intertwined with the Husseini Sadaat lineage, extending through both maternal and paternal lines. On his mother's side, his lineage can be traced as follows: he is the descendant of Syed Kafia Bewi, daughter of Syed Hussain Ali, who is the son of Syed Muhammad Ali. This line continues with Syed Qasim Ali, Syed Amanat Ali, Syed Khidmat Ali, and Syed Laal Muhammad, leading back to Syed Abdur Rasheed. This dual lineage from both maternal and paternal sides further establishes his connection to the Husseini Sadat lineage.
