Baba Fariduddin Masood Ganjshakar, popularly known as Baba Farid, was one of the most prominent Sufi saints of the Chishtia order in the Indian subcontinent. He was the spiritual successor of Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki and played a key role in spreading the Chishti silsila in Punjab. His teachings emphasized love, humility, and service to humanity, which became hallmarks of the Chishti tradition in South Asia.
Baba Farid (1173–1266 CE) was born in Kothewal, near Multan, and later settled in Pakpattan. He is considered the first major Punjabi poet, and many of his verses are included in the Guru Granth Sahib. His shrine in Pakpattan is an important center of pilgrimage, and his annual Urs attracts thousands of devotees from all over Pakistan and India.
