lineage of
Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi (Rahmatullah Alaih):
On the 18th of Ramzan falls the annual urs of Hazrat Naseeruddin, the celebrated spiritual successor of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya who came to be called Roshan Chiragh Dilli, the Radiant Lamp of Delhi. His Master bestowed the title for he lit lamps with water instead of oil, to facilitate the construction of a water tank after the hostile ruler Sultan Ghiyasuddin Tugh-laq banned the sale of oil.Naseeruddin Mahmud was born around 1276 AD at Ayodhya, where his grandfather migrated from Central Asia. The family traces its lineage to Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad. His father died when he was nine years old and was brought up by his mother. Drawn to asceticism, the boy spent most of his time engaged in prayer and fasting. At the age of 25, he abandoned the world and embraced the Sufi way. The search for a spiritual mentor brought the mystic to Delhi where he became a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin. Used to an ascetic life in the jungles of Awadh, the Sufi aspirant expressed the desire to return to a life of seclusion. The Master ordered that the disciple remain in Delhi, suffering hardships and indignities that people would inflict on him. A few months before his death, Hazrat Nizamuddin appointed Hazrat Naseeruddin as his spiritual successor.Hazrat Naseeruddin lived in Delhi for 32 years. Following the Chisthi tradition he kept an open kitchen where food was distributed. His early years were steeped in poverty. Shaykh Naseeruddin fought Muhammad-bin-Tugh-laq’s theory of the state and religion being inseparable. The Chishti Masters traditionally isolated themselves from the court, believing that engaging in government matters hindered spiritual achievements.Tughlaq made it extremely difficult for the Sufi to continue living in Delhi.The great Sufi survived three years after the assault on his life, dying on 18 Ramzan 1356. He lies buried in an area of south Delhi now known as Chiragh Dilli, the same place where Hazrat Naseeruddin lived and showed people the way to God.
