The Miracle of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and the Spring of Water

Assalamu Alaikum, sisters, brothers, friends and elders, we welcome you to our Islamic informative and educational series "The Beginning of Light" and today we are explaining The Miracle of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and the Spring of Water

In the deserts of Rajasthan, when travelers suffered from unbearable thirst and the land was dry and lifeless, Allah showed His mercy through one of His beloved saints, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer. Known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, the helper of the poor, his life was filled with divine miracles that brought comfort to humanity. One of his most beautiful miracles was when water gushed forth from the barren earth by his prayer, saving many lives. In this video, we will explore the story, its spiritual meaning, and the message of divine mercy it carries for believers.

Throughout Islamic history, Allah Almighty has chosen special servants whose faith, compassion, and sincerity became beacons of light for humanity. These chosen ones are known as Awliya Allah — the friends of Allah. Their miracles, known as "karamat", are not displays of power but reflections of divine mercy and truth. One such shining star in the world of Sufism is Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA), lovingly known as *Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, meaning “the benefactor of the poor.”

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) was born in Sistan, Persia, around 1141 CE. From a young age, he was known for his intelligence, humility, and spiritual inclination. He dedicated his life to the service of Allah and the guidance of His creation. His journey led him to the blessed city of Ajmer in India, where he became a source of light, love, and peace for people of all backgrounds. His teachings of tolerance, kindness, and service to humanity continue to inspire millions today.

One of the most famous and awe-inspiring miracles of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) occurred during a time of severe drought. The region around Ajmer was extremely dry, and water was scarce. Travelers, villagers, and even animals suffered from thirst. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti and his companions were traveling through the desert when they encountered a group of people crying out for water. There was no well, no stream, and no source of relief. The saint, moved by compassion, raised his hands in prayer and invoked the name of Allah, the Most Merciful.

It is narrated that as soon as his blessed hands were lowered, a stream of water began to flow from the dry sand where none had ever existed before. People rushed to drink and fill their vessels. The thirsty were quenched, the weak regained strength, and gratitude filled the air. That water continued to flow for a long time, becoming a reminder of Allah’s mercy and the saint’s closeness to Him.

This miracle was not about power; it was a lesson in faith, trust, and divine generosity. The Qur’an reminds us in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 186:

“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”

Through this verse, we understand that the saints of Allah were those who constantly remembered Him and whose supplications were answered due to their sincerity and righteousness.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in a Hadith Qudsi, narrated by Bukhari:

“Whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the duties I have obligated upon him, and he continues to draw near to Me through voluntary deeds until I love him. When I love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he grasps, and his foot with which he walks.”

This hadith beautifully explains how the saints act with divine guidance and blessings. When Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti prayed for water, it was Allah’s mercy that responded through his sincere heart.

The miracle of water flowing in the desert reminds believers of similar divine signs shown to the prophets. During the time of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him), when his people were thirsty in the desert, Allah commanded him to strike a rock, and twelve springs gushed forth (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 60). Likewise, during the blessed life of Prophet Muhammad ?, water flowed from his fingers to quench the thirst of his companions. These events reveal that Allah’s mercy flows wherever faith and sincerity exist.

Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) spent his entire life helping the poor, feeding the hungry, and spreading peace. His *khanqah* (spiritual lodge) in Ajmer was a place where people of all religions were welcomed. His message was simple: “Love all and serve all.” He used to say, “The highest form of worship is to relieve the pain of others and to bring comfort to their hearts.”

The miracle of water is not only a historical event but also a symbol of spiritual nourishment. Just as water revives the earth, the love and teachings of saints revive the hearts of believers. When one’s heart becomes barren with sin, pride, or forgetfulness, the remembrance of Allah through the guidance of His friends can bring life back to the soul.

The Qur’an says in Surah An-Nahl, verse 65:

“And Allah sends down rain from the sky and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, in that is a sign for a people who listen.”

This verse perfectly mirrors the miracle of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA), for through him, Allah not only gave water to the thirsty but also gave spiritual life to countless hearts. His miracle reminds us that Allah’s power has no limit, and His mercy reaches every soul that turns to Him with sincerity.

The miracle of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz and the spring of water teaches believers that Allah’s mercy flows through those who serve His creation with pure hearts. When faith meets compassion, even dry land turns into a fountain of life. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) showed that true sainthood lies in helping others, spreading peace, and trusting completely in Allah. His legacy continues to guide seekers of light and love across the world. May Allah grant us hearts that remember Him, hands that serve humanity, and souls that reflect the mercy of His beloved saints.
