The Number Converted to Islam at the Hand of Khwaja Ajmeri

Question

Question: I read in a book that nine million people accepted Islam at the hand of Hazrat Khwaja Mu‘in al-Din Chishti, but a certain person denies this, [saying] that it is not established from any history book. Please instruct us whether this is correct or not.

Answer

A very great number of people accepted Islam at the hand of Hazrat Khwaja Mu‘in al-Din Chishti Ajmeri; a Christian [author] recorded the number as nine million — it is possible that this is an exaggeration. There is no need to dispute such matters.
