DESCRIPTION OF OFFERING
 CHAADAR  ON THE TOMB (MAZAAR)

 


    The 'Gilaaf' which is beingoffered on Kabe-Sharif is also for respect and protection. Since from the period of Sarwar-E-Qainat (S.A.W.) it has been resumed and as per certain descriptions Hazrat Ibrahim(A.S.) offered 'Gilaaf' on Kabe-Sharif' at first. The detail in "Roohul-Bayan" is that Sheikh Abdul Ghani Nabansi (R.A.) said in "Kash funnar onn as-habul quboor" that the custom of laughing is 'sunnat'. To make a dome, to offer 'Gillaf' (chaadar) onthe tombs of Auliya, Suleha and Ulama is legal. It intends that to be respected by the people. So that, the people does not think this tomb low and like this to light on the tombs (mazaar) of Auliya and Saleha is also a kind of respect and care. Because it is legal and cannot be forbidden.


In other Hadees, said that a woman said to Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqa (R)

 

  "RAVA KASHFI LEE ONN QABRE RASOOLALLAH (S.A.W.) FA KASHF LAHU LAHA

FAQBAT HATTA MATAT."

 It means :-

 

         "Remove the veil from the tomb of Rasoolallah (S.A.W.) for me. "When the veil is removed, she weeped so much where as she died ultimately. In the dictionery 'Kashf' means to remove veil from an object. In hadees "it is proved that the gilaaf was lying on the tomb and Hazrat Ayesha (R) gifted the dignity of ziyarat of the tomb (mazaar) of Rasulallah (S.A.W.) If the pilgreems come to the tombs (mazaar) of Auliya Allah with respect and regards,pray through their mediations and offer 'Gilaaf' then there is no evidence against this in shariyat.


    I am witing these topics for this reason that Auliya is that kind of devotee of AllahPaak to whom his tomb (mazaar) is being bestowed. His every work is involved in remembering and worshiping AllahPaak only. He never hankers after wealth and passion like human beings.

 The verse in Quran is as follow :- 

 

''ALA INNA AULIYA ALLAHE LA KHAWFOON

ALEIHEEM WALA HOOM YA ZANOON."

 


    Whereas for Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) he is Aal-E-Nabi, Aulad-E-Ali and 'Sayed'. "Sayed" means 'Sardar'. He is from the light (Noor) of AllahPaak. This is the Darbar of an emperor. There are lacks of chaadars are being offered over here and the 'Urs' is the exceptional matter. During the ordinary days from the morning to evening Hindu, Muslim, Shikh, Christian use to present at Darbar and feel peace in mind and attain virtual.


    In the past the Darbar of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, the emperors offered 'Gilaaf' on which the real gold, silver and precious stones were studded. Now a days, on the best quality cloths on which real works of flowers, Macca, Madina Sharif, Kalma name of Panjetan Paak (A.S.) are embroidered are being offered. This 'Chaadar' is the dress of the Mazaar Paak of Huzoor Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) itre is also being offered on the tomb, sandal-wood powder is also offered till the morning and evening through out the year. Which is being raised during the Urs. To eat this sandal all types of diseases get cured and get safety from all dangers and misfortune. But condition is to eat with deep faith. A white cloth called 'Nima' is being offered on the sandal and it cover the mazaar paak entirely. This 'Nima' suppose to as like as 'kurta' and on this nima the chaadar (gilaaf) made of velvet and best quality cloth is being offered. It covers the mazaar paak entirely and it is suppose to as like as 'Sherwani' on this only the upper portion, a white cloth (9 mtrs. length) is being also offered. Suppose it is as like as 'Imama' Then flower beds, garlands are being offered. This is performed daily.

 


'Sehre' chada hua hai Moula ki rahmaton ke,

                       Dulhabana hua hai Khwaja ka 'aastana'.

                  

                            

                As per quintal flowers are being offered and thousands of chaadars are also being offered. In which some small chaadars are also being offered. But we send these small chaadars to other places as Delhi, Jaipur, or out of the city. Many of the pilgrims use to take with them for well beings and offer on the graves of their superiors. It is a great reason that throughout the year the devotees and the believers of Khwaja Sb (R.A.) flock together at the Darbar. When the Urs of Khwaja Sb. (R.A.) commences, then the mediation of this Urs, so many Urs of the other are Dargahs being celebrated. Because when the pilgrims come over here, before coming they use to present also at other Dargah on the way. This is the matter of devotees. Some of the come on foot only crossing thousand miles distance. Who has no child comes by rolling down to present at Darbar from thousand miles distance. 2 or 3 months before the Urs they set out for coming over here.

 

 

His mother, Hazrat Sayeda Ummul Wara Bibi Mahenoor is quoted as saying: 

 

    "As soon as I conceived this beloved son, Moinuddin, the house seemed to be full of blessings and prosperity. Our enemies turned into friends and sometimes I had pious and auspicious dreams. When Almighty below life into the embryo, I started hearing exaltation from my abdomen regularly since midnight till dawn. On hearing this auspicious voice, I used to be overjoyed and when he was born, my house was shining with a divine light."
