6. Nizamuddin Dargah
Sultan-ul-Mashaikh Mehboob-e-Ilahi Hazrat Shaikh Khwaja
Syed Muhammad Nizamuddin Auliya (1238 – 3 April 1325)
also known as Hazrat Nizamuddin, was a famous Sufi saint
of the Chishti order in the Indian sub-continent, an order that
believed in drawing close to God through renunciation of the
world and service to humanity.He is one of the great saints
of the Chishti order in India. His predecessors were
Fariduddin Ganjshkar, Bakhtiyar Kaki and Moinuddin Chisti.
In that sequence, they constitute the initial spiritual chain or
silsila of the Chisti order, widely prevalent in the Indian sub-
continent.

7. Nizamuddin Auliya, like his predecessors, stressed love as a
means of realising God. For him his love of God implied a
love of humanity. His vision of the world was marked by a
highly evolved sense of secularity and kindness. It is
claimed by the 14th century historiographer Ziauddin Barani
that his influence on the Muslims of Delhi was such that a
paradigm shift was effected in their outlook towards worldly
matters. People began to be inclined towards mysticism and
prayers and remaining aloof from the world.

9. History of Hazrat Nizamuddin
Auliya
Nizamuddin Auliya was born in Badayun, Uttar Pradesh (east of
Delhi). At the age of five, after the death of his father, Ahmad
Badayuni, he came to Delhi with his mother, Bibi Zulekha. His
biography finds mention in Ain-i-Akbari, a 16th-century document
written by Mughal Emperor Akbar's vizier's,Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak.
At the age of twenty, Nizamuddin went to Ajodhan (the present
Pakpattan Sharif in Pakistan) and became a disciple of the Sufi
saint Friduddin Ganjshkar, commonly known as Baba Farid.
Nizamuddin did not take up residence in Ajodhan but continued
with his theological studies in Delhi while simultaneously starting
the Sufi devotional practices and the prescribed litanies. He visited
Ajodhan each year to spend the month of Ramadan in the
presence of Baba Farid. It was on his third visit to Ajodhan that
Baba Farid made him his successor. Shortly after that, when
Nizāmuddīn returned to Delhi, he received news that Baba Farid
had died.

10. Nizamuddin lived at various places in Delhi, before finally
settling down in Ghiyaspur, a neighbourhood in Delhi
undisturbed by the noise and hustle of city life. He built his
Khanqah here, a place where people from all walks of life were
fed, where he imparted spiritual education to others and he had
his own quarters. Before long, the Khanqah became a place
thronged with all kinds of people, rich and poor alike.
Many of his disciples achieved spiritual height, including
Shaikh nasiruddin Muhammad Chirag-e-Delhi and Amir Khusro
noted scholar/musician, and the royal poet of the delhi
sultanate.
He died on the morning of 3 April 1325. His shrine, the
Nizamuddin Dargah, is located in Delhi. and the present
structure was built in 1562. The shrine is visited by people of all
faiths, through the year, though it becomes a place for special
congregation during the death anniversaries, or Urs, of
Nizamuddin Auliya and Amir Khusro, who is also buried at the
Nizamuddin Dargah.

12. Kotla Feroz Shah Dargah
The Kotla Feroz Shah was a fortress built by Sultan Feroz Shah
Tughlaq to house his version of Delhi city called Ferozabad. A
pristine polished sandstone pillar from the 3rd century B.C. rises
from the palace's crumbling remains, one of many pillars of
Ashoka left by the Mauryan emperor; it was moved from Pong
Ghati Ambala, Punjab (currently in Haryana) and re-erected in its
current location in 1356.
Feroz Shah Tughlaq (1351–88), the Sultan of Delhi, established
the fortified city of Ferozabad in 1354, as the new capital of the
Delhi Sultanata on the banks of Yamuna river, the site of the
present Feroz Shah Kotla, literally Kotla (fortress or citadel) of
Feroz Shah. Here he erected the Lat or Ashoka Column, attributed
to Mauryan ruler Ashoka. The 13.1 metres high column,made of
polished sandstone and dating from the 3rd Century BC, was
brought from Ambala by Feroz Shah.

13. Here it stands on the uppermost section of a three-tiered arcaded
palace pavilion located near the main royal residences and
congregational mosque at the heart of the fortified area. Most of
the city was destroyed as subsequent rulers dismantled its
buildings and reused the spolia as building materials.
But now Kotla Feroz Shah monoment known as Kotla Feroz Shah
Dargah.

15. Ashokan pillar at Kotla Feroz
Shah
This three-storey building was specially comissioned by Feroz Shah to
support the pillar of ashoka. This pillar had been set up at Topra, near
Ambala, (now in Haryana) by the great Mauryan Emperor Ashoka,
with several edicts regarding his plinciples of government inscribed on
it. This monolist pillar is 13 metres high, with a diameter of 65
centimetres at the top and 97 centimetres at the bottom. By the order of
Firoz Shah it was brought to Delhi with great effort and reinstalled
here. It was crowned by a capital of coloured stones and a golden
globe with a creicent on top. The building, now in ruins, originally had
a railing and eight domed chhatris (pillared kiosks) at the top, and a
stone lion at each corner.There are two Ashoka pillars in Delhi. This
stone pillar of Ashoka (273-236 BC) was ransported from Topra, in
Ambala district (now in Haryana), on Firozshah Tughlaq's orders. The
other pillar, brought from Meerut, is seen installed near Bara Hindu
Rao Hospital ,at the Ridge, near Delhi University.

17. JAMI MASJID
This Mosque build by Firoz Shah Tughlaq in A.D.1354, is
amonng the few surviving buildings inside the citadel. This
was the largest of the seven Mosques build in delhi during
tudglaq's reign. The main entrance to the Mosque is to the
north on account of the proximity of the river to its Eastern
wall it rests on a series of cells in the ground floor. The
cloisters on the sides to its courtyard and its paryer hall have
disappeared with only a rear wall standing on the Western
side. Acconding to the contemporary historians there existed
in the centre of the open quaderangle the sunken octagonal
structure ground which record of the reign of the Firoz Shah,
particularely of the public works executed by him, was
engraved in the Mosque or in an adjoining building was
Muroered the Emperor Alamgir in 1781.

18. This mosque was visited by Sultan Timur towords the end of
1398 to say his prayers and he was so much impressed by
the design of this building that he took some masons and
artisans along with him to Samarkand where he built a
Mosque on the same pattern.

20. MATKA PIR BABA
Hazrat Sheikh Abu Bakr Tulshi Haideri Kalandari
Rahmatullah, was supposed to have come from Iran over
750 years ago.
One day a thirsty traveller came to him asking for water and
the pir offered him water from an earthen pitcher. The
traveller then told him that he was suffering from a disease
which apparently did not have any cure. The pir said that he
would pray for him and when the man returned after some
days he was said to have been cured completely of the
disease. After the incident, people started thronging the
dargah to seek the blessings of the pir. And while they
narrated their problems, he would pray for them and the
problems would be solved.

21. It is said that the then sultan of Delhi,Sultan Ghiyasuddin
Balban, was keen to test the powers of the pir. He sent him a
platter full of iron balls and mud for a start. It is said that the pir
covered the plate and started praying. After a while when he
lifted the cover, he found that the iron balls had converted into
roasted gram and the mud into gur. The baba then mixed part of
the gur with the gram and a part with water which then changed
into sweet milk. And on account of this even to date, people offer
roasted gram, gur and milk in earthen pots after someone’s wish
is fulfilled. The baba then was referred to Baba Matka Pir.
It was an irony that the miraculous powers of the baba were
responsible ultimately for his death. He was known for
converting lumps of mud into gold which he would then distribute
among the needy and the very poor.On account of this, a large
number of his diciples thaught that the baba may have kept
loads of gold hidden in the dargah. And one day some of them
got together and murdered the saint.They made efforts to get the
booty, but there was nothing to be found there.

24. MAJOR ISSUE
The major problems front on us in the nizamuddin dargah.
Lot of congestion on the dargah's when we went there we
noticed that the womans were not allowed there due to
there tradition and culture and but in to the some dargah
womans were allowed. That was major issue we noticed.

25. OBSERVATION
We found many formalities in muslim culture that like “what
is the importance of Grave. We know about the muslim
religion and their culture. When we went there we were not
happy to get that topic but after that journey we relised that

many different- different religions visited. There is held
Qawalies on every thursday at the Hazrat Nizamuddin
Dargah and many peoples go to listen it there. There is
believe that many wishes are fulfilled at the Hazrat
Nizamuddin dargah' Kotla Feroz Shah Dargah & Matka Pir
Baba Dargah. If peoples wership by heartly. Peoples get
more satisfaction to visit dargah and its surronding. And they
feel like they are standing in the paradise. And Everybody

Islaam and muslim culture and as well as it is symbol of Sufi
Saint. We have observed its so good for the humen being.
