Akbar also situated Fatehpur Sikri near the Chisti site as a mark of respect and a desire to be “near” the saint, as was customary in his family and as Humayun had done when he built his tomb near the Dargah of Nizamuddin in Delhi.
The revered saint died in 1572 and was buried in the jewel-like tomb in the large open courtyard of the Jami mosque at Fatehpur Sikri.
The tomb of Salim Chisti is still a venerated place of pilgrimage, especially for childless couples who come and tie a thread on the lattice windows of the tomb chamber as a reminder of an unfulfilled desire; untying it when their wish is granted, believing that, like Akbar’s wish, theirs too will be granted.

But, Chisti, the fifth member of the CSTPC, differed with the decision and in a letter falsely informed the vice chancellor that he alone decided to recruit 10 teachers as rest of the planning committee members were absent in the August 2 meeting, the four CSTPC members alleged.
The four CSTPC members in their written complaint to the registrar said any recruitment was unnecessary in the department as there is already one teacher for every 10 students and as it would only enrage the temporarily hired teachers.
When contacted, Chisti denied the allegations, saying, "I did what I found to be right," and advised The Daily Star to contact the RU registrar for information on the issue.

Moinuddin Chisti, in other words, interpreted religion in terms of human service and exhorted his disciples “to develop river-like generosity, sun-like affection and earth-like hospitality.” The highest form of devotion, according to him, was “to redress the misery of those in distress — to fulfil the needs of the helpless and to feed the hungry.”
