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, Mujawar 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:-
