Syed Zainul Abedin is the Dewan (spiritual head) of the Ajmer Sharif Dargah founded by Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti (Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz), according to the APEX Court of India. He is the successor of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, and is also known as Dargah Dewan (Dewan of Dargah), successor, Sajjadanashin (current head) of the Chishti order of Sufism, Gaddinashin, Pir and Sheikhul Mashaeikh Dewan Syed Zainul Abedin Ali Khan Sahib of the Ajmer Sharif Dargah.

Ilmuddin died on October 23. After a few court wrangles, his son Zainul Abedin was appointed to the position of Dewan of Ajmer Sharif. The Dargah committee still had to comply with this ruling although many doubts were created by this family for example Where they genuine Syed?

The doubt on the Dewan family still exists to this day. Nearly all in the Khadim Community know that this family are not genuine Sajjada Nashin.

This family claims they are also descendants of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A) when infact, Hazrat khwaja Moinuddin Chishty's family linage stopped at his Grandson Hazrat Khwaja Hisamuddin who was a perfect Sufi. His grave is at Sanbar Sharif.

Therefore Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty them self While alive bestowed their linage responsibility to Hzrt Syed Fakhruddin Gurdezi (R.A) (Administrator of Dargah) . khwaja sahib told Syed Fakhruddin Gurdezi that from my departure you and your offspring are my Linage and responsible for the Dargah. Therefore nowadays the Khadim Community (Off spring of Syed Fakhruddin Gurdezi ) are Descendants for Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty as bestowed by him self in person.They as Khadim community, attend to the functions and administration of the Dargah.
