  On the occasion of the Annual Urs festival of Huzoor Gharib Nawaz (R.A) the following programs are being performed :-

    In every year from the 1st Rajab to 9th Rajab the program of Annual Urs is being solemnized with great pomp. Not only in Ajmer but also all ever India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, U.K., U.S.A. and in many other countries the devotees and believers of Khwaja Sb. (R.A.) use to celebrate the Urs with great faith and adoration and offer 'Nazrana-E- Aqidat' towards Darbar. 

    On the occasion of Annual Urs-Mubarak, all pilgrims in spite of all inconveniences through journey use to come to visit the Darbar and who is unable to come over here, sends Nazrana for Niyaz,Langar and other 'offerings' in Rupees, $(Dollars), £ (Pounds) or other currency through Money Order. or Bank Draft and attain virtue and grace staying at home. It is beyond imagine about the crowd of pilgrims on the occasion of Annual Urs Mubarak in Ajmer. It is the biggest Urs festival in India, than other Muslim countries. Next to Hajj in Islam such gathering of pilgrims like an ocean are not found in any other place. At the Darbar of Khwaja Sb. (R.A.) Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, rich and poor, upper class & lower class from every caste & creed use to attend.

    Generally the date of Urs-Mubarak is being complied from 1st Rajab to 6th Rajab. But infect, Annual Urs-Mubarak commences from 25th Jamadi-ul-Aakhir and up to 9th Rajab the program of Urs is being continued. The details of this vast program is like this -

Khidmat :

    From 25th Jamadi-ul-Akhir, the time of khidmat at 3 P.M. in changed to 8 P.M. according to old custom, about 20 minutes before closing the door when fifth part of the night passes, a person calls to ring five, the clock sounds five times, the devotees present inside the Shrine are requested to come out of the shirne. They keep standing on either side of the door in queue. Khadim closes all the entrance then khadim clean and sweep the outer area of the shirne. They do come out one by one with "Farasha" (long broom made of feathers of the peacock tail) in hand. When the last khadim come out, a person again calls in a loud voice to ring six bell. The bell sounds six times, as soon as the sixth bell sounds, Qawwals, who stand ready, start  to sing a special song which is called "Karka" and with the end of "Kerka" the entrance of the shrine is closed. This kind of "Khidmat" is continued until the moon of Rajab is found. Some at the morning this khidmat is performed after Fajar Namaz. At this time the pilgrims are not permitted inside the Shirne. Khadims perform khidmat. The flowers are taken from the Poly grave, and "Gilaaf" (Chaadar 42 mts.) with which the holy grave is covered is changed and fresh flowers are presented Sandal, Rose Water, Keoda are also offered on the mazaar paak.

After Asar namaz the flags are carried with vast procession towards Buland Darwaza and are hoisted on the Buland Darwaza. Actually, the Annual Urs commences with this flag hoisting ceremony on 25^th Jamadi-ul-Akhir.

    After this program, 20 minutes before Maghrib (evening prayer) the ceremony of of "Roshnee"(lighting) is performed by reciting pension couplets at the Begami Dallan out of the main gate of the holy Shirne. The prorame of reciting "Roshnee" is continued upto 5th Rajab.

Ajmer mai har rang ke deevane milenge,Aapas mai badee peyaar se begane milenge Har simth par phoonchege Ziarat ko Nigahe,Ek Shama par marte hue Parwane milenge

On the 29^th Jamadi-us-sami the Jannati Darwaza (Heaven's door) in opened at the morning 4 O' clock . If the moon is found then this darwaza is closed at night when the person calls to ring 5. If the moon is found then this Darwaza remains open till night 2 O' clock.

    When the moon is observed either on 29^th or 30^th,  "Nakara" (dram) is being beated and cannons (top) are being fired.

 "Nagara" (Dram)

    After Khidmat "Paitee Darwaza" (in the south of the holy mazaar paak) and " Jannati Darwaza" are being opened and the pilgrims start to enter the "Roza-e-Mubarak, But main gate of the Mazaar Paak remains close till the morning 4 O' clock.

    After observing the moon till 6 night 20 minutes before the Maghrib the "Roshnee" is recited daily at Begami Dallan. After that main gate, "Paitee Darwaza and also the "Jannati Darwaza are closed immediate and "Khidmat" is being started Flowers are taken of, Sandal, Keoda and Rose Water are being offered towards the mazaar Paak. This "Khidmat" taken 2 hours to complete. At this we the "Khadims" are only present inside. After the khidmat the main gate is remain closed. But Paitee Darwaza and Jannati Darwaza are opened at this time "Ghusal" (washing) of the Mazaar Paak is being performed . In the early morning at 4:00 A.M. again all the door are being opened.

    This is being continued up to the six nights. On the 6^th day the Niyaz  (Annual Fateha) is being performed. At this time lacs of believers are being observed expressing their faith and adoration. Some devotees are found busy in recitation; somebody are found to perform "Nafl" and Namaaz; somebody are found reciting "Tasbeeh"; somebody are found in reciting Quran Paak and Darud and Salaam; somebody are found standing near the holy Mazaar Paak keeping flowers and Chaadars on heads and somebody are found to offer Niyaz & Langar; the recitation of "Quran Khwani", "Khatm-e-Khwajgaan", "Khatm-E-Younus" are being performed . At the Paitee Darwaza, Ahat-e-Noor, and in the "Huzra", Qawwali Programs are being peroformed.

    During this 6 night and days it cannot be feel that when the days have been passed and when the night have been passed. All the "Khuddams" and believers are being found with brightness in their faces and every where the noor (Light) is being found sparked. This is the specialty of this Urs Mubarak that whosoever use to take part in the Urs Mubarak once, use to come again and again to attain the grace. I am inviting you also to visit the Darbar in the occasion of the Urs Mubarak.

(Niyaz & Langar are being performed during the Urs.)

    After passing of six nights, on the 6^th from the morning 9:00 A.M. the entry of the pilgrims in the Roza-Mubarak is being closed. But all the doors are being opened.

    Now this is the time when all the pilgrims use to sit all around of the Roza-Mubarak wherever they can occupy the place and glady keeping silence participate in the Niyaz (Fateha) of Chhati Sharif of Ata-E-Rasool (S.A.W.) and Sultan-ul-Hind Gharib Nawaz (R.A.).

    This time is for special and acceptable Dua.  The khadims recite Quran, Darood and Shijra and other verses. They pray for the benefit of the people, for peace in our world, our country, our city prosperity and happiness and for fulfillment of hearty desires. We also pray for all those who attend the Urs personally or contribute in Niyaz by sending their Nazar-O-Niyaz and offer flowers, Itre, Rose Water, Chaadar towards the Mazaar Mubarak on behalf of the devotees who are unable to come to join the Urs.

You can utilize your well earned incomes in this niyaz but do not send the money for sadqah, zaqaat. orphanage and widow. Because it is the niyaz of Khwaja Sb. (R.A.).

(R.A.) so, rich and poor people from every caste and creed use to eat this niyaz.             You also participate in such auspicious deed and attain best return from Khwaja Sb. (R.A.)

 

 

     During this six days means from 1^st Rajab up to 2:00 P.M. (Noon) on behalf of khadims or pilgrims Chhati Sharif program is being performed. In the house of khadims "Mahfil-E-Milad", reciting Quran-Khwani, "Khatm-E-Khwajgan", Khatm-E-Younus" are continuously performed. At night often "Qawwali program" also is performed. Like this, near the "Huzra" at Dargah Sharif Khadims aslo arrange some other special type of "Mahfils".

 

 

     On the 6^th Rajab at 1:00 P.M. (Noon) after the Fateha Qul, Urs-Mubarak is generally concluded and every function like everyday are being performed. But the last ceremony of the Urs-Mubarak is being performed on the 9^th Rajab. This is called the ceremony of Gusal-Mubarak.

   

    The specialty of this ceremony is at 8:00 A.M. (Morning) the Roza-Mubarak is closed and at this time only khadims are present inside and wash (gusal) the Mazaar Paak by Rose-Water, Keoda and Itre. This ceremony continues for one hour and during this one hour when the khadims wash the Mazaar-Paak, at this same time pilgrims wash (gusal) the outer side of the Mazaar-Paak Dargah area by their own hands and feel themselves fortunate through this khidmat. For washing the Dargah area they also use through the "Mashakwalla" or take the "Mashkiza" (water bag made of leather) and wash the floor of Dargah area. Thus on the 9th Rajab entire Dargah Sharif is washed and cleaned. Thus the Urs Mubarak is concluded.

 

 As you enter the Dargah, have a look at the two pulchritudinous gateways, Buland Durwaza, which were built by Sultan Ghyasuddin Khilji of Mandoo. Akbar was the first Mogul emperor to visit the Dargah on foot, when Ajmer came under his possession. He built the Akbari Masjid in the Dargah in 1571 A.D. which is a voluminous, red sandstone mosque, situated at the right side of the main entrance. The entrance is decorated with gold and enamel work, as well as Belgian crystal chandeliers , which hung from the apex inside the shrine. Clocks are another regular feature of mosques and Sufi tombs in part to help the faithful keep track of prayer times. In the center of the compound lies the actual Darbar (Mazaar),  bustling with the prayers of the devotees. Around it is a golden railing donated by emperor Jahangir and the crown at the apex is made up of solid gold. Inside, the hush deepens, despite a crush of people. The jeweled mazaar, covered with gold silver works cloth, is protected by silver railings and a great dome above. Pilgrims stand outside the outer railing, and the khadims (hereditary shrine keepers) move in the space in between. The heaps of rose petals give off an incredibly strong scent that fills the room, adding to the atmosphere. The walls are paneled with velvet curtains, including one from Mecca.

Yehe shaan-e-Karamat hai,Yehe shaan-e-Wilayat hai,

Chala aata hai Chowkhat par teree sarah Jahan Khwaja,

 

Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, whose disciples included the Mughal emperors and who would claim cliques of all creed from every corner of the country. The favored Sufi capital is in the shadow of the Aravallis in central Rajasthan, around 3 hours drive from Jaipur, the capital city. The unbiased ambiance of the Dargah, which calls devotees from every caste, creed and sect, actually rejuvenates one's spirit and fills one's heart with eternal bliss. Since the 13th century, this shrine, richly adorned with silver and gold ornamentation, has enjoyed a huge following and the Urs, or death anniversary, of the saint is observed with huge fanfare.

 

It is said that Akbar was a devout follower of the saint. He prayed at the Dargah for a son and his wish was fulfilled. Thereafter, he payed regular visits to the Dargah every year from Agra. From then onwards, the Dargah attained the status of wish fulfillment shrine.

 

Kiya sukoon ka saman hai tere kunche mai,

Hai mere dard ka darmaan tere kunche mai,

Sun kar yeh aaya hoon Baqshe jate hai Gunahgaar tere Kunche mai,

 

The Urs are held at Ajmer, Rajasthan every year at the tomb of the Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, commemorating his symbolic union with God. The Urs, commemorative celebration is held in the solemn memory of Khwaja Muin-nddin Chisti, a sprightly respected Sufi saint fondly revered as the benefactor of the poor, popularly known as Gareeb Nawaz.

 

Pilgrims from all over the world every caste, creed rich poor gather to pay homage. Qawalis (poems) are presented in the saint's honor and religious assemblies (mehfils) and 'fatihas' (mass prayers) are held. The lakeside town of Ajmer also called Ajmer Sharif (holy) comes alive during the Urs which attracts thousands of devotees irrespective of caste, religion etc.

Chadar; Ghilaph & Neema, which are votive offerings for several hundred thousand devotees offer the tomb. Mehfils & Qawwalis are held and mass prayer calls for the eternal peace of the mankind. An interesting ritual is the looting of Kheer (Milk Pudding), which is cooked in two large cauldrons, called Degs and distributed to the devotees as tabarruk (blessed food). The lakeside city of Ajmer is located in central Rajasthan, and is held in great reverence by devotees of all communities who call it 'Ajmer Sharif' (Holy Ajmer). It is here that the mortal remains of the highly respected Sufi saint Khwaja Syed Moinuddin Chishty lie buried.

The Khwaja Syed Moinuddin Chishty  came from Iran Isfahan from the order of Hazrat Mohammed Musfata (S.W.A) see history page His lakab is Aata-E- Rasool love to all mankind and established the Chishtia order of fakirs in India. He is popularly known as Gharib Nawaz (protector of the poor) because he dedicated his entire life to the service of mankind.

The Dargah Sharif in Ajmer is the place where the Saint's mortal remains lie buried and is the site of all Muslims, Hindu, Sikh in India. More than 10-15 lakh devotees belonging to different communities gather from all parts of the subcontinent to pay homage to the Khwaja on his Urs (death anniversary) during the first six days of Rajab (seventh month of the Islamic calendar.)
The pilgrims who come to seek the blessings of the Khwaja make rich offerings called nazrana at the holy spot where the saint has been entombed.

 

The offerings of rose and jasmine flowers, sandalwood paste, perfumes and incense contribute to the fragrance that floats in the air inside the shrine. Also offered by devotees are the chadar, ghilaph and neema, which are votive offerings for the tomb.

These are brought by devotees on their heads and handed over to the khadims inside the sanctum sanctorum. Outside the sanctum sanctorum of the Dargah, professional singers called qawwals in groups and sing the praises of the saint in a characteristic high-pitched voice. People gather around them and listen attentively, sometimes clapping to the rhythm of their instruments.

 

Followers of the Khwaja Garib Nawaz many Muslims devotees, believe that seven visits to the Dargah Sharif of Ajmer Sharif is equivalent to one visit to Mecca.

 

I am inviting all Devotees of every caste, creed rich poor in Urs of great Khwaja Garib Nawaz in ajmer sharif,dargah sharif.
