Ajme Sharif Nazar-0-Niyaz |
|
In the present advanced age
several questions are being raised in relation to those offerings
which are made at the shrines of Muslim saints, particularly at the
Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.)at ajmer.
It is all due to the lack of proper religious knowledge, lack of
well established customs precedents and traditions and lack of
settled Islamic and judicial pronouncements on this point
Nazar-O-Niaz which is a combination of two words of Arabic language,
in English it means vows and oblations.
ACCORDING TO ISLAMIC LAW
Offering i.e. Nazar-O-Niaz is a deed through which the nearness is
attained,it is also a source of earning the pleasure and blessings
of those who have attained the nearness of god ,not only this ,
presentation of Nazar-O-Niaz is considered as a source of
achievement and success in life.
According to CHISHTIA sect: Offerings which people make at any
Dargah, their intention and aim is to obtain the blessing of that
Saint at whose Dargah the offerings are made and also the blessings
of that person who is the custodian of that Dargah and in his
capacity as Gaddi Nashin, Moallim or Khadim is entitled to receive
the same. After understanding the literary meanings of offerings let
us see how the famous Muslim Jurist and Ulama have theologically
explained the same. In his book Nazar Buzurgan-e-din HAZRAT SHAH
RAFIULLAH says:-
whatever is presented in cash or in kind at any Dargah by the
devotees is known as offerings. This further means and implies that
offerings made at Dargah are not for any charitable purpose but for
the benefit of those attached to Dargah. Another famous Jurist Imam
Ghani Al-Nablisi Al-Qudsi in his book Hadiqa-e-Nadiah has clearly
written: the main object of offerings made at Dargah is to benefit
or facilitate the Moallims.
In his another book Kashfun-Noorhe has further clarified the object
and purpose of Nazar as under:
those who make offerings at the Dargah of a saint, know well and
fully understand that those offerings are for personnel use and
sustenance of those who are attached with Dargah,particularly the
Moallims.
NATURE OF OFFERINGS
At any Dargah particularly at Ajmer the nature and purpose of
offerings apart from what has been said earlier is, with some
modification as under:
1. Firstly a person makes a vow and when his vow is fulfilled he
makes the offerings.
2. The Second form of the offerings is that the devotee has not made
any vow, but when he visits Dargah he out of devotion presents
certain money at the holy grave of the saint with the intention that
whatever he is presenting he s presenting as an offering to that
with clear implication that the same will be used by those who are
entitled to receive it. At Ajmer the devotees pay the offering to a
Moallim who may take as their well wisher or spiritual preceptor.
3. The third form of offering is that it is paid directly to the
Moallim knowing well that the same is for the benefit and personal
use of that Moallim.
4. The fourth form is that devotees pay a particular amount of
offering to the Moallim and limit its expanses they clearly specify
the purpose i.e. either to distribute equally among all the Moallims
,to feed the poor, to spend in religious and spiritual functions ,
to present flowers or chadar
(made of cotton or fine cloth) on the mazar
The soul purpose of the offering in all the religious orders is
nothing but to grace, benefit and facilitate the moallim or the
person attached to Dargah.
