After the massacre by
Genghis Khan's forces in Iran (
Destruction under the Mongol Empire), his ancestors migrated from
Mashhad (
Iran) to
Sabzwar and then to India via
Gardēz (
Afghanistan) during the reign of Sultan Shams-ud-din
Iltutmish (1211–1235). In
India, this family was acclaimed later on as
Gardēzī Sadaat and received many honorific titles from
Mughal emperors. According to Akhbarul Akhyar by Shaikh
Abdul-Haqq Dehlavi, the two brothers Mir Syed Shahabuddin and Mir Syed Shamsuddin Daod who belonged to
Gardezi Sadaat came to
Delhi during
Iltutmish's reign. The family of Mir Syed Shahabuddin was settled in
Manikpur while the family of Mir Syed Shamsuddin Daod stayed in the region of
Mewat. From the family of Manikpur, Raji Hamid Shah (caliph Shaikh Hisamuddin Manikpuri) was a famous scholar. The
lineal descendant of both these brothers in Mewat and Manikpur are remembered as
Gardezi Sadaat. According to Tarikhul Aimma fi Zikr Khulafai Ummah by Mir Mahboob Ali, "some family members of Syed Shamsuddin Daod were settled in
Sabzwar, and hence also known as Syed Sabzwari". In relation to Gardez, Sultan Iltumish knew the family of Mir Syed Shamsuddin very well especially his father Mir Zainuddin from Gardez. The Sultan allowed his sister to marry Mir Syed Shamsuddin. After the demise of his sister, his daughter got married with Mir Syed Shamsuddin. In this way, Mir Syed Shamsuddin enjoyed the royal courtship and remained with Sultan Iltumish. He had two sons Mir Imaduddin and Mir Azizuddin. Mir Syed Shamsuddin died either during the reign of either
Nasiruddin Mahmud or
Ghiyas ud din Balban. Because of close association with Sultan Iltumish, his family members were sent to jail during the reign of
Jalal ud din Firuz Khalji and then
Alauddin Khalji. When Alauddin Khalji killed his uncle Jalaluddin Khalji in 1295 AD/ 695 AH, many prisoners escaped from the jails and many were killed. In this mayhem and confusion, Mir Imaduddin with his nephew Burhanuddin fled
Delhi to
Ranthambore with Muhammad Shah, a rebel general of Sultan Alauddin Khalji in 1299 AD. At that time,
Hammir Dev Chauhan was the king of
Ranthambore Fort. During the attack of
Alauddin Khalji in 701AH/1301AD, both Mir Imaduddin and Burhanuddin were martyred and buried near the gate of
Ranthambore Fort. After Mir Imaduddin’s martyrdom, his family members including his son Syed Shamsuddin Sani (alias Syed Chajju Jagat Jaut) remained in
Ranthambore for a few more decades. According to Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi by
Ziauddin Barani, the families that belonged in the period of Sultan
Iltutmish and remained in the period of
Ghiyas ud din Balban were also from ancestors of Syed Chajju. The name of Syed Chajju Gardezi is found in many books and journals. It is said that the Islamic mystic saints played a very important part towards the evolution of a common language, known as
Hindustani. We get genuine specimens and authentic evidence of the linguistic assimilation in the religious literature of medieval India. This is evident in Indian names like ...Syed Chajju Gardezi. The history during and after Syed Chajju Gardezi alias Chajju Jagat Jaut is not very distinguishable and traceable. According to
Hakim Syed Karam Husain, the family of Syed Chajju were later on bestowed with vast lands by many kings near the areas of
Mewat in return for their great services. Apart from Sakras (
Mewat), some members of Mir Imaduddin and Mir Burhanuddin were also settled in
Gujarat and
Deccan. From the Gujarat family, Qazi Mahmood (846 AH / 1442 AD – 925 AH / 1519 AD) got a reputation as scholar about whom
Abdul-Haqq Dehlavi (d.1642 c.e.) mentioned in his manuscript as a great 'Sufi Shaikh' of Gujarat. Qazi Mahmood lived a good life during the
Sultanate period of Gujarat at
Ahmedabad at the times of Sultan Shams-ud Din Muzaffar Shah II (son of
Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah I). From Ahmedabad, he shifted to his native place 'Sarpore' (Gujarat) in 920 AH / 1514 AD where he lived till death. Qazi Syed Rafi Mohammad (alias Qazi Dasondhi) was the great great grandson of Syed Shamsuddin Sani (alias Syed Chajju Jagat Jaut). ==Marriages, children and in-laws==
