Miracles(Mojizah) are one of the major part of Sufi Saints in the life of the people. We noticed several Miracles by Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) in the past, we highlight few of them.

(1) TUBERCULOSIS CURED:

Hazrat Maulana Wajihuddin was suffering from tuberculosis for long time. He was one of the disciple(mureed) of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A). When Hazrat Maulana Wajihuddin lost all his hope,at that time some of his friends recommend him to change his climate and stay some time in Hazrat Nizamuddin's Khanqah. Therefore Maulana went to the Khanqua at the time of Iftaar(breaking time of the day's fast). He saw a disciple brought some tasty sweets made of herb for the Saint. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) offer Hazrat Maulana Wajihuddin to join him and eat the sweet.

By the grace of God, those sweets cured the Maulana complitely and he never suffered again rest of his life.

(2) THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FEED BY LITTLE FOOD:

Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) one day arranged a special gathering(mahfil) for his disciples(mureeds). After starting the Mahfil there was thousands of people gather simultaneously. But food was prepared for only 50 to 60 person for the program. And yet it was the system that without His food and hospitality nobody go away from His Khanqah who came at once. Therefore, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) asked one of His attendants to arrange sitting of 10 person at a time after washing there hands before meal. He again ordered His attendants to make four pieces of each chapatti and gave one part of it to each person after saying "Bismillah Sharif"(In the name of God, the most merciful and compassionate. The attendants follows Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) word accordingly and saw that by the grace of God, all the people who were attending the Mahfil ate with full satisfaction with the available food. The food still remained after all the people left the Khanqah after having there food.

(3) FORECAST OF PROSPERITY:

There was a young prince name Feroze Shah-bin-Salaar who at once visit to Ghyaspur to pay homage to the  Saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A). In the conversation between the prince and the Saint, the young prince replied himself Kamaluddin. Upon which Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) expressed his name as "Umar ba kamal, daulat ba kamal, naimat ba kamal"(long life, plenty of wealth and power, plenty of prosperity). Later in the life time of the prince all the three prediction by the great Saint came to pass without any fail. The prince lived his life up to 90years, as the Indian history witnessed his sovereignty stretch out over the new provinces of Gujrat & Sindh,meanwhile his control over the people proved to be most rich and successful.

(4) RECOVERY OF THE LOST FIR MAN:

Once the "Royal Fir man" of the empire was completely ruined in an accidental fire in the house of a empire of Sarsawah(U.P). Then he came to Delhi to get back another Fir man with extreme hard situation but unfortunetly he also lost this instead of his efforts while returning home. He was very disappointed and went to Hazrat Nizamuggin Auliya(R.A) and desperately asked him for help to regain his Farmati. The Saint advised him, if he offer 'Niyaz'(Fateha) in the name of Hazrat Baba Fariduddin, might the God grace the problem will be solved. He was agreed and went to sweet shop to buy some sweets for 'Niyaz'(Fateha). The sweet seller gave him the sweets and a paper to cover the sweets. He wrap the sweets and take away, but when he unwrap the sweets in front of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A), he saw this paper itself was the lost Fir man. The paper for which he was so worried and very upset at last he get back. He went away in very joyful mood after kissing the feet of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A).

(5) BEGGAR GETS KINGDOM:

Sultan Alauddin Hasan Bahman was the founder of 'Bahmani Kingdom' in South India in 1347 A.D, according to Mohammed Qasim Farishta(famous historian). Sultan in the early year of his life was a poor person and he was in the service of a Brahman in Delhi. Once Sultan as a beggar standing in the front of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) Khanqah. At that time some people including Prince Mohammad Tughlag, walking out from the Khanqah after finishing there food. While having an audience with the Saint, suddenly Hazrat Nizamudin Auliya(R.A) commant:
                                                             "yak shah raft wa deegrey bur astana niojood"
                                                             (one king has left, another king is again at the door).
People who present there could not understand the comment by Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A). Then He asked one of His attendants to present the beggar in front of Him. When Sultan came in there was nothing to offer, all the food had finished except one chapatti which was kept for the Saint's Iftaar. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A) put the chapatti on  one of His finger like a umbrella and explain that "this is a royal umbrella which, after much time and striving, in destined for you". After this prediction, the luck of the beggar began to change and he became the King of 'Bahmani kingdom' as Sultan Alauddin Hasan Bahman. He was ordered to give away 5 mound's of gold & 10 mound's of silver amongst the poor at His crown ceremony. His khalifa Hazrat BarhamuddinGharib was distributed the wealth to the poor in the name of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya(R.A).

 Dargha Sharif

The Miracles(Mojizah),of Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) which formed 

the most important part of his life & mission, have always been the best of its kind, connected with the lives of so many other Sufi saints.But there is no place in modern science and logic of the hidden calculation and determination of Miracles(Mojizah).They are noticed only in the time of serious situation to justify them. That means Miracles(Mojizah) are used at the end when all the others thought failed. Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz(R.A) showed some supernaturalpower, dead as well as alive. The Miracles(Mojizah) are nothing but the manifestations of Khwaja Garib Nawaz's(R.A) Miracles(Mojizah) by the grace of Allah.

(1) HAZRAT KHWAJA MOINUDDIN'S(R.A) FIRST MIRACLES (Mojizah) IN AJMER SHARIF:

One day Khwaza Moinuddin(R.A) and some of his followers reached in Ajmer and make camp under the trees near Anderkot, where the camel keepers of Raja Pritiviraj make objection to KhwajaMoinuddin(R.A).

The camel keepers said that this place was stabling ground for the camels of Raja Prithiviraj, strangers are not allowed, so you must leave this place and go some other place. Then Khwaja Moinuddin(R.A) and his followers gracefully went to another place  near Ana-Sagar lake. In the next morning the Raja's camels unmoved from there place after all the efforts made by the camel-keepers. Raja Prithiviraj in trouble after notice the incident. He become worried and told his men to approach Khwaja Moinuddin(R.A) whome they misbehaved early. And told there men to solve this matter at any cost. When the camel-keepers obey there Raja's command they get the instant result.When Khwaja Moinuddin(R.A) said "Go, to the camels, they stand up'. All of them where surprised by this.

(2) THE BLIND BEGGAR GET BACK HIS VISION:

Aurangzeb Alamgir once went to Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) Majar Sharif(Shrine) where he saw inside the boundary a blind beggar was praying to Khwaja Baba for his sight.Aurangzeb Alamgir asked the beggar that, how long he has been asking for the sight ? The beggar replied that it has been ages but I still can't get my sight back.Aurangzeb Alamgir said that after paying homage to Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) Majar Sharif he shall return, if you get your sight back, it was ok, otherwise he will take his life. After saying this Aurangzeb Alamgir went to pay his respect and told there guard to watch the beggar.On the other side the beggar crying hard and requesting to Khawja Baba on his pray "Ya Khawja! at first it was only for the sight but now it's up to my life, if your mercy not upon me then I will be killed". After paying homage the King return, he saw that the beggar eyes had acquired the vision. The king smiled and said to the beggar that up to now you praying without devoting heart and concentration, so your wish did not fulfil. When it's come to your life you pray from your heart, hence your wish fulfil.

(3) ANA-SAGAR IN MASHKIZA:

Ana-Sagar Lake in Ajmer

At once Raja Prithiviraj Chauhan's soldiers refused the followers of Khawja Sahab to have water from the Ana-Sagar Lake in Ajmer. When Khawja Sahab noticed this incident he told his follower to fetch some water in a Mashkiza(a bag for carrying water) from the Ana-Sagar Lake. When the follower filled the Mashkiza, the water of the whole Lake mysteriously dried out. This incident caused an unprecedented awe to the people in the city.

(4) MADE CORPSE-ALIVE:

Once there was a cruel ruler in Ajmer Sharif who hanged an innocent person without any reason . And the ruler sent the message to his mother, to come and take away the body of her son. When his mother heard this she was broken out of tears and instead of going to her son she went to Sarkar Gharib Nawaz Hasan Sanjari(the Noble shelter of the helpless people) and explain her unjust story. "Ah! My son has been snatched

away, he is my only support, my house has been destroyed, the cruel ruler hanged my son without any guilt and send the message to take the body of my son. After hearing this Garib Nawaz become very angry and said, take me near the body of her son, hence He along with her came near the dead body of her son and pointed towards it and said, "O dead person! if the ruler of the time has hanged you unjustly then by the order of Allah stand up. As Garib Nawaz said this the life has been came to the dead body and he stood up. Dear Islamic Brothers! this proof that the Satan does not give the evil suggestion that to give death and life, it is only the work of Allah, but how can any one do this? The question arise then the replay to this question is that no doubt Allah is the only one to do this but Allah can by his great power to give the right s to whome he wants. Listen giving life to non-living is the work of Allah but he can give the rights to other whome He can choose.

Hence it states in the Holy Qur'an:

That I make a form out of clay like a bird for you than blow my breath in it and it becomes a bird at once by the command of Allah.

(5) FREEDOM FROM THE PUNISHMENT OF GRAVE:

Khwaja Garib Nawaz went to attend the funeral of one of his disciple. At the end of funeral process He get down in to the grave with his hands. All the person who came to the funeral after performing the funeral prayers almost every left except Khwaja Garib Nawaz.

Hazarat Sayyed-e-na Bakhtiyar Kaaki says only Khwaja Garib Nawaz sitting on his grave, suddenly He looks sad. After sometime he spoke(all praise be to Allah) and feel satisfied. When Hazrat Sayyed-e-na Bakhtiyar Kaaki ask the reason, He said that the angels of punishment came to the grave on which He became worried. At the same time Khwaja Garib Nawazs mentor hazrat Sayyed-e-na Khwaja Usman Harooni come to recommend for his disciple in front of the angels, 'O angels! This person is disciple of my disciple, Moinuddin leave him. The angels replied that he was a big sinner. Meanwhile this conversation was going on that a voice was heard saying,

"O angels we have forgiven this disciple of Khwaja Garib Nawaz for the sake of Usman Harooni". To all Islamic Brothers! From this incident we learn a lession that we should become a disciple of some perfect mentor, since because of him we can overcome easily from the punishment of the grave.

(6) MILK OF YOUNG COW:

When Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A) was sitting near Ana-Sagar Lake of Ajmer He saw a shepherd boy crossing with a herd of young cows. The cows he carring with him was all immature(very young to give milk).

Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A) asked for some milk to the boy from one of the young cow. The boy replied as a joke! Baba, all the cows are so young, how they have milk on there teats. Khwaja sahib smiled, and pointed towards one of the young cow and said ''I would like to drink the milk of the cow, go and milk her''.

The boy was surprised and hasitedly move towards the cow. When he was trying take milk from the cow, he saw the teats of the cow was completely developed and over-flowing with milk. The boy managed several container with milk from which forty person will drink with full satisfaction. After this incident the boy was very much impressed and he become disciple of Khawja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A).

(7) A PREDICTION:

The  governor of the city make his life difficult, he has been suffering a lot by the Governor. at the end the Governor has ordered him to live the city. he explain all of his stories to Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A). In replied Khwaja  Moinuddin Chisti(R.A) said that "But where is he now? he has no more alive, Allha already punished him. The Governor of the city pass away due to a fall from his horse when he was hunting, the disciple heard this news when he came back to his home.

(8) CONVERSION OF IDOL WORSHIPPER: 

One of the most outstanding Miracle(Mojizah) of Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) was to travel to the subcontinent and spread the true message of Islam to the people of the city. This message was officially by the Blessed & Noble Mohammad(S.W.A). Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) converted millions of mushriks, idol-worshippers, bhut pujaris, all of them surrender themselves to the One Almighty Lord and the creator of the worlds, by the blessing of Mohammad(S.W.A). This Miracle(Mojizah) take place without accepting other faith.

(9) A MURDERER BECOME DEVOTEE:

Once a person come to Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) and wanted to say that he was eager to pay homage to him on that day. "here I am, but first fulfil your word that why you here" Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) replied. The man start to worry with the idea that his plan was out before he could react and he accept his guilty and great apologies. The fact was, this man hire by the enemy of Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A). He come with the attention of taking the life of Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A). By his intuitive power this fact has been known by Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A). After this the man prayed for pardon to Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A) Who forgave him gracefully. Then the man embraced Islam and for the rest of his life he become disciple of Khwaja Garib Nawaz(R.A).

(10) SOME OTHERS MIRACLES(MOJIZAH):

(i) According to Hazrat qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki(R.A), he never noticed Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A) become angry with others as long he stay with him. Once I, Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A) and Shaikh Ali we were going out, suddenly a strangers start abusing Shaikh Ali with holding his clothe. Khwaja Sahab ask the reason for his misbehaviour, he replied that Shaikh Ali is debtor for long time and repaying the amount. Khawja Sahab said to leave him, he will repay his amount later. But the man didn't agree, then Khwaja Sahab spread His shawl on the ground and asked the man to take his dues but not more than the limit. Instead of Khwaja Sahab word the man took excess amount from the shawl, as he do so his hand dried up. Now he start crying of pain and asked for mercy. Khwaja Sahab forgive him and his hand return to normal as early. Immediately the man become disciple of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti(R.A).

(ii) At once Khwaja Sahab was passing from jungle, some atheist dacoits came in His way and start snatching all the belonging of the travellers, if they noticed Muslim they kill as well. But when they face Khwaja Sahab, there a miracle(mojizah) took place. All the dacoits who were busy in looting & killing other people, they all started trembling with fear. All the dacoits fall on the feet of Khwaja Sahab and start saying

"we all yours slave, be kind with us". Khwaja Sahab gracefully welcome all of them to accept Islam.

(iii) We heard that during the period when Khwaja Sahab stay in Ajmer, all the people who went for Haj and when they returned back they start saying that they have seen Khwaja Sahab circumambulating the Khana-e-Kaaba. But the fact was Khwaja Sahab never went for Haj after His stay in Ajmer.

(iv) At once there was the gathering of saints. All of them agreed to show there miracle(mojizah). Thus Khwaja Usman Harooni(R.A) move around his musallah and took out some gold. Then Shaik Ohuddin Kirmani(R.A) touched a piece of wood which turn to gold. After insisted of Khwaja Usman Harooni(R.A) to Khwaja Gharib Nawaz(R.A), He realised one of the person among the gathering was hungry but could not express others. Thus Khwaja Sahab put four barley Rotis in front of that person.
