A Friday Evening at Hazrat Nizamuddin
19th November, 2015 at Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Dargah: It was after a long time that, I visited any dargah of delhi. It was 19th November of 2015, when i came to catch a report again in New Delhi. On this day, me and my friends were visited Hzrat Nizamuddin’s Dargah in the mood of an evening walk. The dargah is the centre of attraction of the area called Nizamuddin Circle. Here a biggest market and a huge crowd covered the dargah. Thoughh it was hidded in the market and it’s surroundings but, you can feel it’s spirituality from the very outside via watching the tourists and hearing the namaz. When everyone saw the sunset over the dargah, we put our footsteps towards this. Each and every step become a shocking feeling of to be close to the god. At the moment when, you will entered in Hazrat Nizamuddin via the little lanes of market decorated by spiritual metarials, you will find yourself moving one world to another world. And finally after all borders, you will got the entry on the door of Hazrat Nizamuddin.
Hazrat Nizamuddin’s dargah is not a dargah only, it’s one of the famous
historical heritages of our country, where the history preserved. Sometimes on
the books, sometime on the stones of the walls and sometime on the grave plates
also, you can find the importance of humanity, love and the other beauties of
kuran everywhere. Though it’s a spiritual place of muslims but, we could saw
that, the hindus, Christians and all of the religions mixed like, no-one can
judge their proper dharma. And the special thing is that, the day was a Friday.
We all know that Friday is called as the day of ‘Jumma’ for muslims. It’s a
special day for muslims. So, we got a nice experience of spirituality also and
specially the religious song (kawali) at evening makes my day perfect. Even you
know that, famous singer A.R. Rahman also sang a kawali in the movie ‘Rockstar’
for Hazrat Nizamuddin. But the dargah is not famous for those few things, it’s
famous as a powerful source to make your ‘ dream come true’. It’s like a
shooting star in the sky of our motherland. Because, people believed that, the
lord of this dargah made the our wishes true.
‘Ishq
e ibadat’, is the very faomous words in muslims, specially used in kuran to
describe the equality in love and the lord. By this words they wants to say
that, ‘ishq’(love) is ‘ibadat’, that means love is the only path to reach the
doorsteps of ‘Allah’. This dargah is also knowned as ‘Ashiko ka dargah’. The
religious people told that, if any true lover come here to make a wish, then it
will true. But we were not the lovers, but the love of travelling played the
role of ‘Cupid’ in us. So, the Friday evening become so spiritual and gorgeous
for our life. And the Friday also become a fantabulous Friday to us. Though the
visitors think that Friday is not a good day to visit this, I will say them
they are apsolutely wrong. Because, on Friday the dargah become so spiritual,
so beautiful and so gorgeous, and by this, our Friday got a fantastic ending.
