A dargah (Persian: درگاه‎ dargâh or درگه dargah, Turkish dergâh, also in Urdu and Bengali: দরগাহ dorgah) is a shrine built over the grave of a revered religious figure, often a Sufi saint or dervish. Sufis often visit the shrine for ziyarat, a term associated with religious visits and “pilgrimages”.

Silsila (Arabic: سِلْسِلَة‎) is an Arabic word meaning chain, link, connection often used in various senses of lineage. In particular, it may be translated as “(religious) order” or “spiritual genealogy” where one Sufi Master transfers his khilfat to his spiritual descendant.

Sarwari Qadiri Also known as Qadiriya Sultaniya, the order was started by Sultan Bahu in the seventeenth century and spread in the western part of Indian Subcontinent. Hence, it follows most of the Qadiriyya approach. In contrast, it does not follow a specific dress code or require seclusion or other lengthy exercises.

In Sufism, a murīd (Arabic مُرِيد ‘one who seeks’) is a novice committed to spiritual enlightenment by sulūk (traversing a path) under a spiritual guide, who may take the title murshid, pir or shaykh. Before initiation, a murid is instructed by his guide, who must first accept the initiate as his or her disciple.

Why the ban exists The 45-page petition cites a 2016 report by ThePrint, according to which women are not allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum of the dargah, where Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya rests, because it is believed the dead can see women naked if they go too close.

“Islam allows women to enter and pray inside the dargah (sufi shrine) but its trustees discourage women and prevent them to enter the inner sanctorum.

Non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple, although this is not always enforced. On the northern side of Vishwanath Temple is the Gyan Kupor well. Non-Hindus are strictly not allowed to enter here. In many mosques in india HINDUS are not allowed, mostly in northe India.

You might question whether a mosque is even open to you, if it would intrusive and disrespectful to go into a place of worship where you believe differently. However, like most churches and other places of worship, most mosques welcome visitors of other faiths.

As no faith other than Islam is permitted to be practiced, no churches, temples, or other non-Muslim houses of worship are permitted in the country although there are nearly a million Christians as well as Hindus and Buddhists—nearly all foreign workers—in Saudi Arabia.
