The Memoir and The Relics

THE HAZRAT MAKHDOOM MASJID

Whichever be the masjid. it is worthy of respect and veneration. Moreover, the masjid that might have got constructed by a certain Wali ( a saint) of Allah. must be of great honour and importance. The Mosque or masjid which is very adjacent to the shrine of Makhdum is itself constructed by Hazrat Makhdum himself and wherein, for years together Hazrat Makhdum offered prayers to Allah and worshipped him and remained busy and engrossed in the deeds and activities that make one close to Allah. This mausoleum is a historical as well as religious memoir to the Muslims.

The articles used by the religious saintly people which were of more attachment to them are preserved as a present for receiving benediction from the followers, like the rosary, the prayer carpet, robe and the turban, the staff etctera. But Hazrat Makhdum Ali Mahaimi was more attached to reading and writing. He had mastery in the art of calligraphy, too. That is why, in his relics, there is a hand-written Qura’n,The Glorious, in the style of ‘Naskh’ a usual form of Arabic script which has been preserved into the shrine and it is opened for its sighting every year on 29th night of RamzanulMubarak and the people are happy and delighted to view it.

The death anniversary of Hazrat Makhdum Ali is celebrated every year on eighth of Jamadil Akhir at night, in the mausoleum. The sandal traditions are carried on by the Dargah (mausoleum) Trust and the visits and the sittings and congregations of Milad Sharif are held. The court of the mausoleum is open throughout that night. Every month on eighth night the milad khwani is held.
