HAZRAT SAYED BABA BADAM SHAH UVAISIYA (R.A)

 This Dargah stands in between the beautiful hills of Aravali. Baba Badam Shah was born at Galib village of Mainpuri district (UP) in 1870. He began his spiritual journey at the age of 14. Baba got attracted towards spirituality after he came in contact with Saint Prem Das. Baba left his home and family in order to gain knowledge of spiritual world. Saint Prem Das didn’t accept baba as his disciple and told him that he’ll meet his spiritual guru at Ajmer. Baba worked as a ward boy, served in military then finally left job and went to Ajmer. He served at Khwaja Garib Nawaz shrine for 5 years waiting for his spiritual guru and one fine day he met Sayyad Mohammad Nizam ul Haq who accepted him as his disciple. After his spiritual training he was ordered to be completely involved in prayers and serving mankind. People from distant places started visiting Baba for his guidance and help and got benefits. Baba treated all visitors in a similar way irrespective of their castes and religions.

The shrine houses a Hindu as well a Muslim place of worship. Every day, the aarti takes place in the Shiv temple here, followed by the Azan at the adjoining mosque. The Sufi saint never discriminated amongst his followers who were from different faiths. He built the temple and the mosque for his followers besides his prayer seat by inviting donations from people of all faiths. The Sufi was also known as Sat Guru108 Shri Hazrat Sayed Baba Badam Shah Uvasiya.

The shrine's present Gaddi Nashin, Ram Mishra has been taking care of the sanctum sanctorum ever since his father Hari Prasad 'Uvasiya' passed away in 2008. Late Hari Prasad was a follower of the Sufi saint and received the title of 'Kalandar' from his guru.

The Mishra family, which now has around 50 members, came in contact with the Sufi saint five years before he died on November 26, 1965. The saint, during his last days, declared Hari Prasad Mishra his successor. Hari Prasad was so intensely in love with his Guru that he declared that he too should be buried in accordance with the Islamic teachings. His grave, which is in the same village, is equally revered by the devotees visiting the shrine.

The Sufi saint had authorized the Mishra family to perform all ceremonies in the Dargah in accordance with Islamic teachings. The entire family not only reads and recites Quran, but it can even discuss issues like rights of women in Islam. It can narrate the entire story of Hazrat Imam Hussien (the grandson of Prophet Mohammad) during Moharram. The family today proudly calls itself the torchbearer of the 'Uvasiya' sect. "Our festivals cannot be completed without seeking blessings of the Baba" said Rajnikant Mishra Uvasiya, the younger brother of late Hari Prasad.

Additional Info: Inside the dargah's main compound, the family has set up a khangah (a place for meditation). The common wall between the sanatorum and khangah has a picture of Lord Ram.

 How to Reach: The dargah is 149 km from Jaipur International Airport , 9.4 Km from Ajmer Railway Station and 11.4 Km from Ajmer Bus Stand. Local bus, taxi and three wheel auto are easily available to go to the shrine.

ABOUT HAJJ

 IHajj is one of the pillars of our faith.  Hajj is the pilgrimage to the Holy land of Makkah. It is enjoined on a Muslim to go at least once in his life if one has the means. This means you would need to commit financially, physically and spiritually and also be of sound mind. This post would help you figure out where to start in preparing for Hajj and even some resources. The pilgrimage takes place in the last month of Islamic calendar Dhul-Hijjah and the rites are performed between the 8th and 12th days of the month. As it follows the lunar calendar, the dates change every year. The rites of Hajj date back to the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). And while performing hajj, one would walk the path the blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ walked. Hajj is a total transformational experience. SubhanAllah! it is truly the journey of a lifetime. You become washed of your sins and have a renewed faith. It goes beyond the rites of pilgrimage too. You find that you learn so much about yourself. Should you be ble

MY HEART CRAVES FOR YOU, O MADINAH!..

I just want to be there. Always and forever..  In the comfort of the city of my beloved Salallahu alayhi wa sallam..  In the serenity of Taiba… O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah,  You are more fortunate than anyone in this world…  Every day in Madinah is blessed…  Every breath you take in Madinah is blessed…  Every blink of an eye in Madinah is blessed…  Every gaze on the Blessed Green Dome is from the fortunes of Paradise…  O the one who receives an invitation to Madinah, blessed are you, so envious I am of you… Every Salaam you say, every greeting you greet with, every word you utter is more blessed than my existence in any other place…  اللهم كما رزقتنا سكني المدينة، فلا تحرمنا حسن الخاتمة فيها، والدفن في بقيتها، اللهم لا تبعدنا عن المدينة احياء و امواتا.. آمين O Allah, like how You have sustained us with staying in Madinah, then do not deprive us of a good end in it and being buried in its Baqi, O Allah, do not make us far from Madinah while we alive or while we are d

Zam Zam Well

 Allah (the Glorified and Exalted) created the well to provide Hajira, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him), and her baby Prophet Ismail (Ishmael) (peace be upon him) with water in the hot and dry valley they were in. In her desperate search for water, Hajira ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa to provide for her baby who was dying of thirst. The Zamzam Well is located approximately 20 meters (66 ft) east of the Kaaba.

Taneem Mosque (Masjid Ayesha)

 The mosque is roughly 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Masjid al-Haram. This mosque is also known as Masjid Ayesha. “When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed his pilgrimage, he advised his companions to start with the Umrah and wait for the pilgrimage days to start on their major duty. However, Ayesha was on her menstrual period and was unable to perform the Umrah on her arrival. When she mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that she would go back having performed the pilgrimage only while others did both duties, he told her brother to take her to the nearest point outside of the Haram area. He took her to Taneem where she started her Ihram again and came back to perform the Umrah.
