'''Hazrat Khawaja Syed Shah Maqdoom Zain-ud-din Dawood bin Hussain Shirazi''' is a [[Sufi]] saint of the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], belonging to the [[Chishti Order]] .<br />
<br />
==Syed Zainuddin's life==<br />
[[File:Khaje Zainuddin Shirzai Maqbara.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Zainuddin Shirzai's Maqbara at [[Khuldabad]]]]'''Syed Zain ud din Daud''' (*[[Islamic calendar|Hijri]] 701/1302 CE, † Hijri 771/1370 CE) was born at [[Shiraz]] and went to [[Delhi]] by way of [[Mecca]]. He studied under Maulana Kamaluddin of Samana, and came with him to [[Daulatabad, Maharashtra|Daulatabad]]. The author of the "Mayrat-al Walayeh" mentions that Zainuddin, on his arrival at Daulatabad, disapproved of the singing and dancing in the convent of [[Sayyad Burhan-ud-din|Burhan uddin]]; but when he visited the " tekkieh", he was perfectly satisfied, and he and his companions were initiated in the [[Chishti Order|Chishtia order]]. Syed Zainuddin held the office of "[[Qadi|kazi]]" at Daulatabad, and in H. 737 (1336 CE) was invested with the mantle of the kaliphat, but did not actually succeed till after [[Sayyad Burhan-ud-din|Burhan ud din]]'s death in H. 741 (1340 CE). Syed Husain has recorded all the sayings of Zainuddin in his "Hidayat ul Kalul", and mentions that in H. 747 (1346 CE), sultan [[Muhammad bin Tughluq]] (H.699-H.752/1300-1351 CE) directed him to leave for [[Delhi]] with the other inhabitants. After the death of the sultan, his successor [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Firoz Shah]] permitted the saint to return to Daulatabad.<br />
<br />
Zainuddin was greatly respected by the [[Bahmani Sultanate|Bahmani]] king sultan Mahmud, who was first reproved by the saint for misgovernment. Malik raja the founder of the [[Faruqi dynasty|Faruki dynasty of Kandesh]] became one of Zainuddin's disciples, and when the next sovereign Nasir ud din Nasir Khan Faruki captured [[Asirgarh]] in H.801 / 1399 CE, Zainuddin went expressly from Daulatabad to Asirgarh, to tender his congratulations. It was to commemorate this visit that the town of [[Zainabad (princely state)|Zainabad]], on the left bank of the [[Tapti River|Tapti]], was founded after him; and [[Burhanpur]] on the opposite bank was founded about the same time in honor of [[Sayyid Burhan-ud-din|Burhan ud din]].<br />
<br />
Zainuddin died in H. 771 / 1370 CE, and a handsome mausoleum was erected over his tomb at [[Khuldabad|Roza]], which is visited by devout Musalmans of the [[Deccan Plateau|Dakhan]].<br />
<br />
The relics of the "parahan" (the robe of the [[Muhammad|prophet]]) and "taj" given to Burhan ud din on succeeding to the kaliphat, are carefully preserved in a wooden box placed in one of the apartments of Zainuddin's darga.<br />
<br />
Every year on the 12th [[Rabi' al-awwal|Rabi-ul-awal]], the sacred hair of the [[Muhammad|prophet]] is first shown to visitors, and then the "parahan", the "taj", and a few likenesses of some of the most sacred personages among the [[Mohammedan|Mahomedans]] are exhibited.<br />
<br />
The tombs of [[Muhammad Azam Shah|Azam Shah]], of his Begum, and of a Mahomedan saint, are in a small enclosure to the east of Zainuddin's mausoleum; while [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] Emperor [[Aurangzeb]]'s tomb lies to the west. Opposite this last is a large quadrangular courtyard, having open-fronted buildings on all sides, and a "nakar-khana" or music hall at the east end. The west end is used as a school where the Koran is taught, and gives access to an inner courtyard which contains a number of graves. Facing the entrance is the shrine of [[Sayyad Burhanuddin|Burhan ud din]]; and a little to the right is the last resting-place of [[Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah]] I, the founder of the [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad dynasty]] and of one of his consorts. To the left is the tomb of [[Nasir Jang Mir Ahmad|Nasir Jang]], the son of Asaf Jah, who at one time contemplated rebellion against his father, but overcome by contrition for his conduct, performed penance at the tomb of saint Zainuddin.<br />
<br />
The Dargah in [[Khuldabad]] attracts thousands of pilgrims each year from 12th [[Rabi' al-awwal|Rabi-ul-awal]], for the Urs of the saint.<br />
