The Khadims at the Shrine of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty who is also famously known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, the Syedzadgan Khadims are the members of the extended Chishty Sufi Family or the Sufis of Chishty Sufi denomination who are an ethno Persian-Arab Muslim community living since 850 years in the Ajmer city into the state of Rajasthan in India.

Often known as Khadim Khwaja Sahib or Khuddam e Khwaja as it has been a tradition among the early Sufi sheikhs to call themselves mureed or khadim of their sheikh or murshid out of humbleness and peity.

They the Syedzadgan Khadim khwaja sahib are the saints nearest kith and kin who have a spiritual affiliation with the saint.

History and origin

After the demise of the saint Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty his cousin and the closest companion by the name Khwaja Fakhruddin Ahmed Gardezi Chishty and later his descendants looked after the Saints grave in Ajmer the city which was later came to be known as Ajmer Sharif or the blessed Ajmer due to the presence of the Sufi Saints Dargah Sharif.

The "Khadim" word comes from the Arabic word khidmat or to serve or care. The early Sufi sheikhs of any Sufi order would prefer to call themselves as a Khadim of the Khalq (creation comprising all living beings). The motto of a Sufis life is always to serve the empty souls among the humanity through their wisdom and ecstatic ways.

A pupil would prefer to call himself a Khadim of his Sheikh-Murshid who is a mentor in his spiritual journey.

Therefore, due to such spiritual inclinations it was also a tradition among the ottomon caliphs to call themselves Khadim Haramain Sharifain or the server of the two Holy Cities of Makka and Madina a title which was later resumed by the Ibn Saud family and which continues till this day.

Spiritual Significance

The Syedzadgan Khadims are Sadaat e Hussaini and Kazmi Syeds descending from Imam Musa Kazim a descendant of Muhammad.

Throughout the centuries this denomination of Chishty Sufis not only looked after the premises of the tomb but also kept the keys of the tomb since its inception in the 12th century A.D.

Khadim Syedzadgan is the oldest community in Ajmer having a continuous history of 850 years.

At the Dargah Sharif anyone who visits and pays homage to the Saint takes one of the Khadim sahibto facilitate the Ziarah the tradition which has traditionally been known as Vakalat or Spiritual Representation.

Mughal Emperor Jahangir in his auto-biography Tuzk-e-Jahangiri mentions that one of his siblings a brother named Prince Daniyal was born in Ajmer Sharif into the Khanqah or Monastery of Sufi Shaikh Syed Daniyal Chishty situated near the Dargah Mualla of Moinuddin Hassan Chishty. This child of Emperor Akbar's was named Daniyal after his duago Vakil's name whos name was Syed Daniyal Chishty. He further mentions into his autobiography Tuzk-e-Jahangiri that Emperor Akbar had often benefitted through the prayers of the Sufi Shaikh Syed Daniyal Chishty who was a pious man a friend of Allah.
