Nizamuddin Auliya, a renowned Sufi saint in India, is esteemed for his spiritual teachings and profound influence on the lives of many. Although it is challenging to quantify the spiritual wealth he has accumulated, his net worth is estimated to be between $100,000 and $1 million by 2024. However, it is vital to recognize that Nizamuddin Auliya's legacy and impact surpass monetary value, as he continues to inspire countless individuals through his teachings of love, compassion, and devotion to God. His contributions to spirituality have shaped the lives of innumerable believers, leaving an everlasting mark on the spiritual fabric of India.
The Ishq Nuri order, branch of the main Chishti- Nizami, was founded by Shaikh Khwaja Khalid Mahmood Chishti sahib, in Lahore, Pakistan, in the 1960s. It is the most contemporary expression of this traditional Sufi lineage. It is mostly found in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, although now some followers are also to be found in the West.
Arziyan, a qawwali in the film Delhi 6 (2009) composed by A. R. Rahman is dedicated to Nizamuddin Auliya. Kun Faya Kun a song in the movie Rockstar (2011) is also dedicated to him, and was shot at the dargah.
Nizamuddin Auliya, like his predecessors, stressed love as a means of realising God. For him his love of God implied a love of humanity. His vision of the world was marked by a highly evolved sense of religious pluralism and kindness. It is claimed by the 14th century historiographer Ziauddin Barani that his influence on the Muslims of Delhi was such that a paradigm shift was effected in their outlook towards worldly matters. People began to be inclined towards mysticism and prayers and remaining aloof from the world.
The Urs (death anniversary) of Nizamuddin Auliya is celebrated at the Nizamuddin Dargah on the 18th of Rabi II (Rabi-ul-Aaqir), and that of Amir Khusro on the 18th of Shawwal.
Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi, in the 19th century started the Niyazia branch.
