Saint

Zayn al-Din Shirazi

A Chishti shaykh born in Shiraz (d. 771/1369). He reached Delhi via Mecca and settled in the Daulatabad-Khuldabad region; as chief khalifa of Burhan al-Din Gharib he received khilafat in 737/1336 (Wikipedia, "Zayn al-Din Shirazi"; New Age Islam). His mausoleum at Khuldabad faces that of Burhan al-Din Gharib; his disciple Malik Raja, credited as founder of the Faruqi dynasty of Khandesh, attests to his influence. Note: the Gregorian death year is given as 1369 or 1370 (a calendar-conversion difference); no dedicated TDV article exists. No pin is provided because the tomb coordinate rests on a single source.

Saint

Muntajab al-Din Zar Zari Zar Baksh

One of the earliest Chishti shaykhs in the Deccan (d. 709/1309). A disciple of Nizamuddin Awliya and brother of Burhan al-Din Gharib, he was sent to the Aurangabad region in the early 14th century and is also known as "Dulha Miyan" (Wikipedia, "Zar Zari Zar Baksh"; New Age Islam). His dargah at Khuldabad, near his brother's tomb, remains an active pilgrimage site. Note: the 709 AH date rests on a single hagiographic source, and Wikipedia's precise "15 August 1309" is unsourced and should be treated as tradition; genealogical and miracle accounts are legendary (transparency note). No dedicated TDV article exists.

Saint

Sayyid Yusuf al-Husayni (Raju Qattal)

A sayyid of Khurasani origin and a disciple of Nizamuddin Awliya (d. 731/1330); he was the father of the celebrated Chishti shaykh Sayyid Muhammad Gesudaraz (Banda Nawaz). The TDV Encyclopedia of Islam explicitly states that Gesudaraz's father was Sayyid Yusuf al-Husayni, known as Sayyid Raju al-Qattal, who died in 731/1330 (TDV, "Gîsûdırâz"). The epithet "Qattal" (slayer) refers to slaying worldly desire through austerity. His tomb is at Khuldabad. Note: the name "Shah Raju Qattal" is conflated across several figures in the literature (notably a later Shah Raju Qattal II of Hyderabad, d. 1092/1681); this record documents only Gesudaraz's father per TDV. No pin is given because two independent numeric coordinate sources could not be found (transparency note).
