Hazrat Khawaja Nizamuddin Auliya (1238 - 3 April 1325) (حضرت خواجة نظام الدّین اولیا), also known as Hazrat Nizamuddin, was a famous Sunni Sufi saint of the Chishti Order in South Asia. He was born in Badayun (east of Delhi), though he later settled in Delhi, where his shrine (Nizamuddin Dargah) is still located. His original name was Muhammed. He was the son of Ahmad Dainiyal, who came to Badayun from Ghazani in the year 1234–35. At the age of 20, Nizamuddin went to Ajodhan (the present Pakpattan in Pakistan) and became the disciple of Fariduddin Ganj-i-Shakkar. He was also the spiritual master of Amir Khusro. He died on the morning of 3 April 1325.
