Hello everybody-
Assalamualaikum.I'm here with a new & very important topic today.I read what Ekta madam saying abt making of Khwaish!!!😭
She thought & ranked herself very high!!!šŸ˜†That is not a reality at all,all most reverse !She wanted to make a serial with MUSLIM culture as followed by the other soap but if it could be 😭!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very disappointing to watch these types of nonsense ! There is nothing in the ISLAMIC aspect with DORGAH ! like MANDIR matters ,no comparison THE public to go with there wishes /prays & mannate to mandir in front of DEV -DEVIAN in a MUSLIM culture😔??????????????????????????

The Muslims only can say their prayers /wishes/mannate desires in front of ALLAH , not towards on any other-like a dead person in DORGAH !!!!!!!!!! How disgusting these all ,no any one can realise who r not a real MUSLIM !ANY DEAD PERSON CAN do anything šŸ˜²šŸ˜”? Have they any power after their death, they are all just like a stony MURTIS! Who have no lives no power no sense...SO why does the Muslims go through a dead person🄺? If it could be possible to worship any one for their praises or doayen or mannate or wishes to fulfilled THEY ALL CAN GO ONLY TO ONLY ONE MACCA SHARIF to says their all wishes,
THE HOLIEST PLACE IN THIS WORLD FOR THE MUSLIMS........THE MUSLIMS only bend their body &only their head down to wards none other than only one almighty ALLAH !!!

They can not do /perform their a SEJDAH(head down) to ANY OTHER.THE SEJDAH u mean only the IMAAN that u r believing there is no one but only ALLAH ,who has no partner /no shape / no formate /who never dies/never has given any power to any other to do anything same the power as Allah such as called PEERbaba/DORBESH/SUFI/FAKIR or any other person like these SPECIALLY not in the DEAD PERSONS ?
SO there is no culture ,no meaning,no stand , no position for DORGAH...in ISLAM .😔

BY THE WAY -FOR ur kind information the serial is based on DUBAI -though there is NO ANY DARGAH culture too.IN DUBAI is no ASTITVA of annnnnnnnny DORGAH there is reality fact !VERY few r known that THE dargah cultue has been following only in this sub-continent.
INDIA-PAKISTAN- BANGLADESH ,only to followed by an imitate copying THE HINDUISM !THE MANDIR culture.

THE ALL rest other Muslim countries has no DARGAH -no DARGAH mei jaake chadar charhana, nahi mayur ki pankh se jhaar khana , nahi there is any PAGAL BABA use to say their future(only Allah subhanatala knows abt the future ),if it could be possible then the PAGAL baba was not stayed there with his faate purane kapre...for his free fooding or begging with shelter .HE could decide their own good fortune & went for that way! NEI ? agar unhe maloom hota ki kisike saath kya hone wala hei to woh apne fortune kiyu nehi decide kaarleta ?yaha eisi kiyu beitha hei ???THERE is no any scene happens in DUBAI or any foreign country JUST out OF INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!šŸ˜†šŸ˜²

U can watch care fully with notice that ways r showing in these soap with all other FILMS/MOVIE S (the Muslims culture followed) JUST LIKE happened in MANDIRS&GURU DUARAS, SO WHAT is the deference in between a MUSLIM -ISLAM--- HINDUISM & SHIKH culture ? IF they r following the same ???

THE MUSLIM women's can go to MOSQUE along the GENTS but they can say their prayers just the other side with a veil- chadar-parda -curtain or partition /that made them separate part of the mosque .

YES that is right that not all Muslim girl used to wear always a burkha BUT it is bound to do that only few countries such as in IRAN/SAUDI ARABIA..the other rest of the Muslim countries has a freedom to follow ur own but without a crossing limits.

I wanted to aware all u guys that what is in ISLAM ,what is the real concept of following Islamic rules & culture & what is the PARDA culture /PAKISTANIS r no the actual measurement s of ISLAM-in Pakistan has a majority of SHIA like IRAN & 50% of IRAQ.The rest r SUNNI ..............

SO before u r going to shot or make any culture FOR ur TV or film /MOVIE /U MUST SHOULD have to know the reality & fact abt that MATTER ,U have to ensure that u r not going or giving lots of wrong information to the public VIA a very strong MEDIA like FILM/MOVIE or TV !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm astonished that where is the REAL Muslims in INDIA ,who r just keeping quite /keeping silent keeping far distance to protest these nonsense BUT they r fighting against anything rather than a true /an IDENTITY of ISLAM -MUSLIMS.They can do or die for any fighting or violence some times (very recent- the Taslima Nasreen event) but never show their tantrums in this ground is happening a long way by a long days in INDIA _PAKISTAN _BANGLADESH !!!!!!!! What a shame ! What a IDIOTIC mentality .

I donno what will be the reaction with my this topic BUT as I think it is my duty to let u know the realism of Muslim culture is .If there is few good Muslim in this site or this Forums ,I expect to get them along with me - writing up their experience & sharing my opinion in the aspect of ISLAMIC concept to on wards of the other religion.

THANX .
ALLAH HAFEZ

Hello,

You bring us some interesting points. I myself am a Shiite Muslim, and am not familiar with anything they've showed related to what I've seen and learned, besides namaaz, which they only showed once. I asked my mom about the whole durgah thing, cuz like, we dont do that stuff, and she was like, some people do it. There are certain muslims that do that stuff, most of us dont I guess. I'm sure such a thing would'nt be made up, muslims around the world are watching this, a huge controversy would've arised, but it hasn't, no one has said anything, meaning it must happen! They didn't show tons of things about us muslim, that they oculd've, should've, but oh wells we cant really do anything about it That's all I wanted to say in the matter 😳

Hi there-
Thanx to share my point. But ThE_khan, u have not actual idea abt the DARGAH meaning is ! I know very well that in Bangladesh/Pakistan & India .sooooooooooooo many DARGAAH culture/they r very much used to. Read carefully pls to my first topic!

Hajaro Insaan mil ke kuchh kar ne se kuchh SAACH to nehi ho jata or nahi SAHI ho jata....I have also said that IT IS A IMITATE COPYING.....culture, not it is a true rules ! Even it has been forbidden by our original RELIGION !

DARGAH means -any known or unknown wise person who was devoted to this RELIGION (not always, there r so many controversies with this, u know better if u r in Bangladesh, some r very untrue vigue/false shrines there /if u read the some novels from ur country-LAL SHALU…ABDULLAH)> May be in his life time there was so many followers to followed his works & so many stuffs has done by them BUT after his death there is no power no clues no intention can comes to wards of his followers ! A DEAD person can DO nothing !

AND of course the Muslims can go to the shrines but ONLY for the reason to pray /perform some DOA to ALLAH to do something FOR THAT DEAD person , not for seeking their personal goodluck or help from that DEAD person !
DEAD persons need the doas from the alive person who can pray to ALLAH'S forgiveness for that DEAD person who could be a peer/ fakir/darbesh or could be our relatives …BUT never the dead persons MAJAR/DARGAH or SHRINE comes to us LIKE a worshiping OR PRAY centre ….THE show was telling us that if u want to say ur pray any mannte wishes to go that DARGAH for their kindness ….as maximum sub continentals r doing very wrongly !

IF ISLAM is like that or if In ISLAM is ordered or approved that process to do is right then …why shouldn't the other parts of this world …so many ARABIAN countries r not following this, even no where is any shrine too.I wanna say that IT IS A WRONG VERSION wrong way presenting ISLAMI CULTURE!!! IT means it is a SHIRK ! THE dead person needs alive persons DOA …because they r helpless now but the alive person need the kindness of ALLAH directly by their pray not seeking kindness from any dead person by performing a SEJDAAH .

ALLAH ki siwa koi kisiko kei se sejdaah kar saak te hei ? who bhi KABARSTAAN ko ? DARGAAH is a shrine means kisikaa KABAR only !!! agar eisa hi hota or yeh jayaz hota to all MUSLIM jaake Hajrat Mohammad (sl) ki Mazar ko sejdaah nehi karate kya ? Oye Saudi Arabian governments with all other MUSLIM countries gadhe hei kyaa ? ki yeh chances miss kaar deta ?

YEH sarasar NAJAYEZ hei isiliye HAMARi AKHERI nabi (sl) ki Majar ko hifajaat se rakkhe gaya hei ..ki koi isika PUJA na kaar dale …unhe daar thaa ke eisa ho saak ta hei isiliye barri saakh ti se unhone mana kar ke gaye hei ki ei sa naa ho…sirf ISILIye aaj tak all nabi & other most important persons for MUSLIMS /unn logokaa majar r very restricted for aam blind /unaware Muslims ..bacha ke rakkha hei ..from PUJAA…..

FOR ur kind information –jit naa bhi Shrine /Majar/dargaah hei INDIA +PAKISTAN + BANGLADESH mei pls be concentrate that is- all persons who came to this sub continental only TEACHING ISLAM ….converting into MUSLIM ….they were suppose to be a teacher to be aware & establish ISLAM here /because in this sub continent there was NO NABI /PAIGAMBERS was born or came ………these all DARGAH -MAJAR are only those persons who were the Strictly follower of ISLAM , very much close to ISLAM from any sahaba e keram or via any linkage of those person….every one CAME to INDIA /PAKISTAN & BANGLA DESH for establishing ISLAM – spreading ISLAM & PREACH the ISLAM….BUT unfortunately the followers became worshiper to them…not their quotes….after their death all SHRINE became a MANDIR…name DARGAH /MAJAR & the people r doing the same old things before they came here to forbid them doing this nonsense ! HOW shame that is all forgotten !!!

Aour aab hum uchi awaz se yeh bhi keh rahe hei ki saab chalta hei saab karta hei in BANGLADESH !!! agar all Bangladeshi r doing the right things to baaki ke sab kya buddhu hei ki woh log nehi kaar raahe hei …they r missing big stuffs ! ALL R FOOL ????? kisi ke dimaag mei yeh kiyu nehi ata hei ki kuchh stuffs only –its happens only in sub continental , KIYU ???? Yeh jo shrines hei yeh kis ka hei ..aour kiyu hei ????

YEH koun hei kaha se aye thee aour kiyu ayethe ???? aour hum saab iska puja kiyu kaar rahe hei ??? iska majar ka PUJA hi agar kaar na hei to behtaar to yeh hei ki hum jaake MACCA mei haaj kiyu kaar ne jate hei only..woha jaake hamari Muslim o kaa saab se barra Holly man great NABIJI (SL) majar ko jiyarat ki bagayer PUJA kiyu nehi karate ?

Yeh chhoti si baat aap Bangla desheio or INDIAN /Pakistanio ko kiyu nehi ata hei ? aare bhaai saab se pyara saab se barra sab se holy majar dargaah yaa shrine to Hajraat Mohammad(sl) kaa hi hei naa – to wohaa jaake chadar charhana / sejdaah kaarna aour mayur ki pankh se hawa lagana kiyu nehi hotaa ji ? kabhi socha hei aapne ?

Agar only majar jiyarat ke niyat ho to woh saahi hei ..eisi ki.. app jaao kisike holy person ke majar ko/ yaa aap ki relatives ke majar ko aour USS dead person ke LIYE ALLAH se DOA maanngo…ki YAA AllAH usse baakshe /maaf kare panah dei de… but NOT for that KI AAPP woha jaao APKI koi aisi niyaat se khwaish se ki… AGAR aap chadar charhao arr sejdaah karo to who dead person aapke like ALLAH se suparish kaar dega ki yaa Allh tere yeh bandaa MUJHHE SEJDAAH kaar rahe hei too khoosh hojaa ….

So never ever it is right to sejdaah any one none other than ALLAH …kisi ko bhi Nehi…NOT A SINGLE PERSON /kabar/majar/dargah …WHO OR WHOM IT IS …. Jo kiya ja raha hei /dikhaya ja raha hei Who saaahi NEHI HEI…not any meaning not any side / jo hota hei hote aa raha hei ALL is WRONG !!! V E R Y much WRONG interpretation….

agree with u all..theres nothing like dargah or watever...
but just one thing..
didnt quite understand the question "Do u know the DORGAHculture"
if u mean have u heard about it..i say yes coz theres alot of them in India which has now created the impression to Balaji that this is normal...

but is this correct..then the answer is no...there r sum countries which have this practise..but that doesnt mean its correct....
It is 100% wrong to pray to a grave of someone who has died, no matter how big the person was...

even the Prophet Muhammad (saws) told that please dont pray on my grave when i die...n its protected so that no one makes mistake of praying to him...

I'm not religious at all......and don't really care what they show and what they dont!

Why are you making such a big deal about this Dargah issue?!šŸ˜•

And in any case,,,before airiing the show...they give us a notice *ALL CHARACTERS AND INCIDENTS IN THIS SERIAL ARE FICTION AND HAS NO RESEMBLANCE TO ANY PERSON LIVING OR DEAD; LOCATION IS PURLEY COINCIDENTIAL*

meaning wat eva they show here is NOT TRUE AT ALL! This is not the first time Ekta made this mistake.....all her indian shows too have wrong bhajans playing @ the wrong puja event...she mixes 2 bhajans anc makes them into one praying bhajan and uses that for background music!

besides.....if this Dargha was such a big issue.....then I'm sure Khawaish would've already been off air in ARY channel and all across the Middel East ARAB COUNTRIES who are watching this. If they can watch this soap in peace w/o religious issues.......so can we.......so lets jus leave this topic here...

Dargah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A dargah (Persian: ????) 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).

Shrines are found in many Muslim communities throughout the world, and called by many names (see ziyarat). The term dargah is common in the Persian-influenced Islamic world, notably Iran and South Asia.

In South Africa, the term is used to describe shrines in the Durban area where there is a strong Indian presence, while the term keramat is more commonly used in Cape Town, where there is a strong Cape Malay culture.

In the Indian subcontinent, dargahs are often the site of festivals (Milad) held in honor of the deceased saint at the date of his Urs, which is a day dedicated to the saint which usually falls on the saint's death anniversary. The shrine is illuminated with candles or strings of electric lights.

Here is another one:

9th August 2007

Miracles of the Saint

There are many miracles that have happened during the life of Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} and after his death. It is a belief of the Muslims as mentioned in the Quran Sheriff that the Holy Saints who sacrifice and devoted their lives in the way of Allah never die and one should not call them dead. They are alive in the graves and get their food and necessities from Allah.

It is learnt from reliable sources that Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} was Qutub-E-Akbar. Whatever is known about miracles is learnt from the caretakers and trustees from generation as the Saint had never married and had no descendents. Some people tried to display themselves as his descendants or heirs and have destroyed the exact history of the saint, his tomb and Dargah.

Oil and the Lady : It is learnt from rivayat {being told by the people} that Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} was sitting at some lone place and was busy in his prayers when one lady passed from there crying and screaming. When the Saint enquired about her crying she told the Saint by pointing to an empty vessel and said that she had dropped some oil from the vessel and that if she goes home without the oil her cruel husband would treat her badly and that's why she was crying in need of help. The Saint asked her to be calm and went with her to the place where the oil had been dropped and then he took the vessel from her and pushed the earth with his thumb and the oil came out like a fountain and the vessel was full. The Saint gave her the vessel with oil and she went away happily. But at the same time the earth told the Saint that he had pushed it and had given it trouble and some day when he would be buried it might take revenge of this. The Saint then realized that he had committed a mistake and from that day he became very serious and was not keeping well.

The Pathway : Before his death he advised his followers that they should not burry Him at any proper place or graveyard and should drop his coffin that it should be buried by the people where and when it is found so that is why his tomb is in the middle of the sea where some stones over a small mountain were lying above the sea. The present chairman informs it and managing trustee, Mr. A. S. Merchant that earlier there was no pathway in the sea and people collected stones and made a temporary path during low tide. During high tide however the path was destroyed. In 1944 his father Mohammad Haji Aboobakar who was appointed trustee by The Attorney General, Goverment of Bombay had decided to build a permanent pathway but he was hesitant as he was not sure if the path would withstand the sea fury during the monsoon season almost all the roads of Mumbai become rough and have potholes but till today the pathway of the Dargah has never been damaged or unsafe for the people to reach the Dargah Sheriff. This is one of the biggest miracles of the saint hundreds of years after his death.

Miracles of the Dargah : In 1949 there was a big storm in Mumbai, which had not left a single building without the slightest damage, but there was no damage to the Dargah, sanatorium or the pathway. There were waves of the size of mountain and most people were scared that they would drown. They then bowed down at the wall of the Dargah, said their prayer and there was lightening on the waves and the people returned home without any harm to themselves or to their property.

It is learned from the thousands of visitors and devotees who have visited the tomb of the Saint that with proper faith and belief they have achieved whatever they have had asked for from the Saint blessings.

During the heavy rains on 26th July 2005 there was a huge destruction over most of the part of Mumbai but the Haji Ali Dargah was not affected by this incident.

Lets not argue, but all I want to say is, I am not taking sides, but just pointing out what I have heard/learned about the dargah culture. If muslims aren't familiar with it, I'm sure non-muslims wont get it at all! I hope by reading both articles, you people understand the dargah culture, and what I meant when I said, "some people do believe in it" You all have valid points, but this is true as well. I dont want to get into an arguement, if someone has issues with my posting articles, or anything like that, please drop me a PM, I dont want to create problems
