Ghaus-e-Azam Urs 2026

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (takreeban 1077–1166 CE / 470–561 AH), jinhe Ghaus-e-Azam ke laqab se yaad kiya jaata hai, aslan Gilan (aaj ke Iran) ke ilaake ke rehne wale the. Takreeban 18 saal ki umar mein, yaani lagbhag 1095 ke aas-paas, wo taleem ke liye Baghdad aa gaye, jo us daur ka bada ilmi markaz tha. Yahan unhone Hanbali fiqh, hadith, arabi zabaan aur tasawwuf ki taleem hasil ki. Unke mash-hoor ustad Abu Saeed al-Mukharrimi the, jinke madrasa (ribat) ki zimmedari aage chalke unhi ko mili, aur yahi jagah aage badti gayi.

Baghdad mein wo ek waaz karne wale (preacher) aur ustad ke taur par mash-hoor hue, aur unke dars-o-waaz ki mehfilon mein achhi khaasi bheed jama hoti thi. Unke naam se juda Qadiri silsila duniya ke sabse phaile hue sufi silsilon mein se ek maana jaata hai. Yeh silsila unki aulad — jaise beton Abdul Razzaq aur Abdul Wahhab — aur shagirdon ke zariye Iraq se lekar barr-e-sagheer, Afrika aur central Asia tak pahuncha; Hindustan mein bhi kai gharane isi silsile se juda batae jaate hain.

Unki taleem ka zor sacchai, sabr, tauba aur logon ke saath narmi par rehta tha. Unki mash-hoor kitaben al-Ghunya li-Talibi Tariq al-Haqq, Futuh al-Ghaib aur al-Fath al-Rabbani hain, jinme unke waaz aur nasihat jama ki gayi hain. Unka intekal 11 Rabi al-Thani 561 AH ko Baghdad mein hua, aur isi tarikh ke aas-paas saal ki sabse badi Giyarhvin yaad ki jaati hai.

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani ki dargah Baghdad, Iraq ke Bab al-Sheikh ilaake mein hai, jo Dajla (Tigris) darya ke Rusafa taraf, shehar ke purane hisse mein aata hai. Yeh sirf ek mazar nahi balki ek bada complex hai jisme masjid, madrasa aur ek purani library shaamil hai. Is complex ko sadiyon mein alag-alag daur mein banwaya aur maramat karaya gaya — khaas taur par Ottoman zamane mein iski badi maramat hui batayi jaati hai (takreeban 16vin sadi ke aas-paas Baghdad par Ottoman qabze ke baad).

Ziyarat karne wale yahan aam taur par ek bada sehan (courtyard), oonchi minarein, aur mazar ke upar ek gumbad (dome) dekhte hain; andar marble ka kaam, jhaad-faanoos aur ek qadeem library shaamil batayi jaati hai, jo ilmi kitabon ke liye jaani jaati hai. Aas-paas Baghdad ka ghana bazaar aur purani gali-mohalle failte hain.

Lekin yeh yaad rakhna zaroori hai ki yeh dargah Hindustan mein nahi hai. Isi wajah se barr-e-sagheer ke zyada tar log iski ziyarat ke liye safar nahi karte — Giyarhvin unke liye ghar aur mohalla-level ka mamla hai, jahan fatiha, naat aur langar ka mahaul banta hai.

Ghaus-e-Azam urs / Giyarhvin date har Hijri mahine ki 11 tarikh par aati hai (lafz Giyarhvin khud "gyarah" yaani gyaarah se bana hai), aur saal ki sabse badi Giyarhvin 11 Rabi al-Thani ko hoti hai. Hijri calendar chand par chalta hai, isliye Gregorian (angrezi) date har saal takreeban 11 din pehle khisak jaati hai; is saal ki live date aur countdown upar diya gaya hai.

Kai jagah log Giyarhvin ko sirf ek din nahi, balki 11 Rabi al-Thani ke aas-paas kuch dinon tak manate hain. Aam roop yeh dikhta hai:

• Ghar ya masjid mein fatiha aur dua ka intezam.
• Naat, manqabat, zikr aur kuch jagah qawwali ki mehfilein.
• Langar aur meethai aas-paas ke logon aur zarooratmandon mein baant-na.
• Aakhri din Qul (khatam) ke saath program samet-na.

Badi masjidon aur bade gharanon ke program mein achhi khaasi bheed jama ho sakti hai, jabki chhote ghar par yeh saada aur khamosh reh sakta hai. Har surat mein yeh ek ghar-based observance hai, isliye kisi shrine tak jaana zaroori nahi hota.

Kyunki Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani ki dargah Baghdad, Iraq mein hai, Hindustan ke logon ke liye koi shrine travel zaroori nahi hota. Giyarhvin aksar ghar par ya mohalle ki masjid/jama-khane mein manayi jaati hai — iske liye kisi railway station ya airport ka safar nahi karna padta.

Aap apne ghar mein fatiha aur naat ki mehfil rakh sakte hain, ya paas ki masjid ke intezam mein shaamil ho sakte hain. Mohalle ka koi bhi jama-khana ya masjid kaafi hai, aur zyada tar mehfilein sab ke liye khuli hoti hain.

Agar koi Baghdad ki asli dargah tak jaana chahe (jaise Iraq ke safar ya ziyarat ke daoran), to sabse nazdeek Baghdad International Airport hai, jahan se Bab al-Sheikh ilaaka takreeban 15–20 km door padta hai aur taxi ya local transport se pahuncha jaata hai. Lekin yeh sirf un logon ke liye hai jo pehle se Iraq ka safar kar rahe hon.

Giyarhvin ghar ya masjid mein manane wali cheez hai, isliye behtar rehta hai ki meethai, langar ka saaman aur baithne ka intezam ek-do din pehle kar liya jaaye. Agar mohalle ki masjid mein program hai to time aur din pehle se pata kar lein, taaki peak bheed aur bhaag-daud se bacha ja sake.

Mehfil mein saaf aur simple libaas pehnein; khawateen aur mard dono ke liye ek scarf ya sar dhaankne wala kapda saath rakhna madadgaar rehta hai. Bheed wali jagah par apne joote aur keemti saaman ka khayal rakhein. Program shaant, saaf-suthre aur ehtiraam ke saath rakhein, aur aane wale sabhi logon ka izzat se istaqbaal karein.

Chand par date badalti hai, isliye har Hijri mahine ki 11 tarikh ke liye Hijri calendar dekh lena theek rehta hai.
