Tajuddin Chishti (Urdu: شیخ خواجه تاج الدين چشتی) also called Taj Sarwar Chishti was a 14th century Sufi saint of Chishti Order in Chishtian, Punjab.
Taj-ud-din Chishti was a grandson Farid-ud-din Ganjshakar (1179 - 1266) of Pakpattan and his descendants founded the village of Chishtian around 1265 CE (574 Hijri, Islamic calendar).[1]
The dargah of Taj-ud-din Chishti is called Roza Taj Sarwar.
Many native tribes in Punjab region accepted Islam due to his missionary Da‘wah.[1] Khawaja Tajuddin Chishti faced hostility from tribes that opposed his Muslim missionary Da‘wah and he was martyred in a battle and was buried in Chishtian.[1]
