Darga e gaffaria

Darga e gaffaria

A Dargah (Persian: درگاہ) is a Sufi shrine built over the grave of a revered religious figure, often a Sufi saint. Local Muslims visit the shrine known as ziyarat. Dargahs are often associated with Sufi meeting rooms and hostels, known as khanqah. They often include a mosque, meeting rooms, schools (Madrassas), residences for a teacher or caretaker, hospitals, and other buildings for community purposes. The term is derived from a Persian word which can mean, among other uses, "portal" or "threshold". Many Muslims believe that dargahs are portals by which they can invoke the deceased saint's intercession and blessing (see Tawassul).

These sufi saints taught love, amity and devotion. These saints looked upon everyone as equal and were never bias, where as they did not see who they were, what they wore, which language they spoke, or what beliefs they held. Their mausoleum continues to send out a message of spirituality, integrity, and harmony to this day. It is a sanctuary where people from all walks of life, irrespective of religion or sect, caste or creed, come to pay homage and find peace around them and within. Today also the dargah -e-Gaffaria strives to maintain the atmosphere that this khanqah (monastery) was always known for.
