Khwaja (RA) is the direct decendent of Prophet Mohamed (SAW)in Islam. He came from Iran and worked among poor people irrespective of thier religion and preached love,harmony and peace. So he is called GHARIB NAWAZ, [helper of the poor]. He advocated sufism, [Sufism:http://khwajagharibnawaz.com/sufism.htm ] His shrine is in Ajmer, where a bomb was placed recently killing the gatherings there. I remember reading about this shrine and the word "Gharib Nawaz", in Delhi Rao's IAS main exam notes several years ago. Some one from Rajastan can give us more information.
