“KHADIM’S SYED CHISHTY FAMILY RELATION WITH THE SHRINE IS NOT ONLY ANCIENT BUT INTIMATE”

The keys of the Holy Shrine including the Toshakhana are in the custody of the Khadims since inception according to centuries-old Kalid Bardari system of our ancestors.

Only the Khadims have the privilege to open (after giving Azan at the doorstep of the Shrine) & close the doors of the Holy Shrine for centuries in religious & hereditary capacity.

Khadims are the only one entitled to take Zaireen (Pilgrims) for Ziyarat (Darshan) at the Holy Shrine, and they have the right to receive all kinds of Nazar & Niyaz (offerings) at the Holy Shrine (Mazar-e-Aqdas) of Huzoor Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.).

Undoubtedly, the Khadims, who have been attached to the Shrine since its inception, played a key role in the smooth functioning and in keeping strict discipline in the performances of these rituals and ceremonies. As a result, they often invited the ill-will and wrath of pilgrims and other officials. But their genuine concern and enforcement of established customs and rituals, showing strict adherence to the humanitarian approach of the Saint, was always upheld by the authorities.

Their right to serve the Shrine, to perform religious rituals and arrange spiritual functions and to receive all kinds of Nazars (Offerings) are hereditary and have also been judicially recognised. The documentary evidence are in the “Malfoozat” (sayings) of Chishtia order & historical literature, Shahi Faramin, Sanads etc. (Imperial orders) Jagirs, honours and rewards conferred upon them from time to time not only by Muslim rulers but also by many Hindu Rajas and Chieftains of India, which was also conferred by the British Government during their succeeding regimes.
