Khawajah Syed Qutbuddin Maudood Chishti (Urdu: مودود چشتی) (also known as Qutubuddin, Shams Sufiyaan and Chiraag Chishtiyaan) was an early day Sufi Saint, a successor to his father and master Abu Yusuf Bin Saamaan, twelfth link in the Sufi silsilah of Chishti Order, and the Master of Shareef Zandani.

After he became a mureed, his murshid (Master) addressed him by saying, "O Qutubuddin Mowdud, adopt the path of the Faqr."

The word "faqr" is literally translated as "poverty", but in the language of tasawwuf, it means to be rich with Allah.

Khwaja Mawdud Al Chisti accepted his murshids (spiritual guidance) advice.

During this period, he rarely ate and was reported to complete two recitations of the Quran during the day and two during the night.

Khwaja Mawdud Chishti visited Balkh (the place of birth of Jalaluddin Rumi) and Bukhara, a place mentioned in the famous line of Hafez, "If that Turk of Shiraz would take my heart in his hand, I would give for his Hindu mole both Bukhara and Samarkand."

His influence spread west to Khurasan, Iraq, Syria, Hijaz, and Tihamah and in the south to Iran, Siestan and the subcontinent.
