Question:

Options:

Shaikh Nasiruddin Chiragh-i-Dehli

Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya

Khwaja Qutubuddin Balkhtiyar Kaki

Shaikh Moinuddin Sijzi

Correct Answer:

Shaikh Moinuddin Sijzi

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Shaikh Moinuddin Sijzi

Shaikh Moinuddin Sijzi, also known as Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, was indeed a prominent Sufi teacher of the Chishti Silsila, but his dargah is not located in Delhi. His dargah, known as the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti or Ajmer Sharif Dargah, is situated in the city of Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. The dargah is a revered pilgrimage site for Sufi devotees and people of various faiths.

In contrast, the dargahs of the other three Sufi teachers mentioned (Shaikh Nasiruddin Chiragh-i-Dehli, Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya, and Khwaja Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki) are located in Delhi. Each of these dargahs is associated with significant Sufi saints who played a vital role in the propagation of Sufism in India, particularly in the Delhi region.

So, the correct option is [4].
