He was a direct descendant of Muhammad and belonged to the Khwarizmi clan, which traces back to one of the biggest Muslim empires ruled by the Shah of Khwarizm.

[3] The ancestors of Syed Moin-ud-Din, migrated from Arabia due to persecution by the Umayyads, who targeted them for being from the lineage of the Ahl al-Bayt.

After the destruction of Khwarizm by the hordes of Genghis Khan, the survivors, now identifying as the Khwarizmi Syed clan, scattered in search of refuge.

Due to their lineage as descendants of Muhammad, the three brothers were respected by the Emperor and granted large tracts of land for permanent settlement.

The Syeds from Gujrat are mainly Khwarizmi’s whose forefather migrated to Multan from the Central Asian state of Khwarizm near the Aral Sea when the Delhi Sultanate was established.
