I received a flyer asking the donation for Kwaja Moinuddin Chisty ( Garib Nawaj) usher in Ajmer Sharif in India. according the flyer Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty was born 797 years ago and there is a Dargah in Ajmer Sharif since his death.
My question was he related to our any pirs?

His claimed lineage may not be accurate, but they say his paternal ancestor was Musa al-Kazim, the 12er Imam.

He is the head of the Chisti sect of Sufism. They go to his Durga and pray to him. They regard him as a medium between them and Allah. If you watch the Indian movie Jodha Akbar, Akbar (Rithik Roshan) is from the Chisti sect and goes to the Durga to pray.
