(r.a) was one of the two major successors of the great Sufi master Hazrat Khwaja Naseer Uddin Chiragh(r.a). During the twilight of Dehli years, he was responsible for firmly rooting the sisilah in the Gujrat, a place of relative calm. The paternal nephew of Khwaja Nasir Uddin, was also the great-grandson of Hazrat Baba Farid Uddin Ganjshakar, and a direct Hussanini descendant of the Holy Prophet. He became Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya's murid in his youth and was thus his uncle's peer-Bhai. The hagiographical works Majalis-e-Hasiniyya, Maqam Ganj-e-Shakar, and Siyar al Auliya all recorded that Khwaja Kamal Uddin was honored with the khilafat of Khwaja Nizam Uddin( r.a) before he passed away, as a sign of the latter's favor towards him. However, the responsibility for his spiritual training was transferred to his uncle Khwaja NasirUddin Chiragh, who completed his suluk and after whose name he appears in the Chishtiya Nizamiyya's Shajarah. Little is known about his birth and early life, but he trained to a high level of specialization in all fields of Islamic sciences. In his writings, Khwaja Banda Nawaz Gesu Daraz has also mentioned many of the superlative qualities of Hazrat Kamal Uddin (r.a). These testimonies, along with his lofty reputation, led the Tughlaq sultan Firuz Shah and his government and ministers to seek a close bond as possible with him. But, on the other hand, Khwaja Kamal Uddin, while providing advice and caution to the ruling elite, kept to the principles of the Chishti masters of maintaining a healthy distance from the rich and the powerful fear of corruption. Khwaja Kamal Uddin made seven pilgrimages to Makkah in his lifetime. He met some of the great scholars and saints of his time on these travels and also visited Masjid al Aqsa in the land of Palestine. For his first Hajj, Khwaja Nizam Uddin Auliya himself came to see him off. He blessed him with his khirqa, which he requested that Kamal Uddin war when making his Hajj. With this, Khwaja Nizam Uddin conferred khilafat upon his young murid. The emotional parting marked the last time that kamal Uddin Allama would see his first murshid in this life. From there, he traveled through Khurasan and other kingdoms on his way to Hijaz. On the 27th of Dhul Qaadag 756 AH, he passed away one year before passing his own murshid. He afforded his khilafat-e-azam to his son, Khwaja Siraj Uddin (r.a) and lies buried in a simple grave at the feet of Khwaja Naseeruddin Chiragh in Dehli.
