Talk:Khadem (caste)

Two editing issues
A reader has suggested ticket:2018111810000297 that the correct spelling is "Khadim" not "Khadem", and that it is a social class, not a caste. While the first seems quite plausible given the spelling of the usages in the article and in the references, it's easy enough to carry out that move. However, I don't have enough knowledge of castes to know whether the point is valid and they probably ought to be addressed simultaneously.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  22:52, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

The Khadims at the Shrine of the Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty who is also famously known as Khwaja Gharib Nawaz, the Syedzadgan Khadims are the members of the extended Chishty Sufi Family or the Sufis of Chishti sufi denomination who are an ethnic Persian-Arab Muslim community living since 850 years in the Ajmer city into the state of Rajasthan in India.

Often known as Khadim Khwaja Sahib or Khuddam e Khwaja as it has been a tradition among the early Sufi Shaykh to call themselves mureed or Khadim of their Shaykh or Murshid out of humbleness and piety.

The Syedzadgan Khadim Khwaja sahib is the saints nearest kith and kin who have a spiritual affiliation with the saint.

History and origin

The name "Khadem" comes from the Arabic khadem which is a symbolic term used among the early Muslims to show their spiritual connection with the Prophet or by a disciple to his Murshid. The Khadims of Ajmer Dargah have similarly used this title to show their spiritual link with the Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishty of Ajmer Sharif

"As per the apex court, it held that Khadims are the descendants of the original spiritual Successors of the Sufi Saint of Ajmer whose connection with the shrine is not only ancient but intimate. Their work is spiritual in nature and to perform dua prayer for the benefit of the visiting Pilgrims day in and day out."

Khadims have been envied throughout the entire history of the Ajmer Dargah Shrine due to their special status and the privilege they held at the Shrine.

Only the Khadims have the right to entertain the visiting Pilgrims and to perform dua for them as gaddinasheens at the Holy Shrine. Being the descendants of Ali Ibn Abi Talib through his wife Fatima binte Muhammad (may peace be upon him) they have been held in high regard by not only the local Muslim population but also the multitudes of visitors who seek their prayers for their spiritual upliftment.

History

After the demise of the saint Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty his cousin and closest companion by the name Hazrat Khwaja Fakhruddin Ahmed Gardezi Chishty and later his descendants looked after the Saints grave in Ajmer the city which later came to be known as Ajmer Sharif or the blessed Ajmer due to the presence of the Sufi Saints Dargah Sharif. The "Khadim" word comes from the Arabic word khidmat or to serve or care. The early sufi sheiks of any Sufi order would prefer to call themselves Khadim of the Khalq (a creation comprising all living beings). The motto of a Sufis life is always to serve the empty souls among humanity through their wisdom and ecstatic ways. A pupil would prefer to call himself a Khadim of his Sheikh-Murshid who is a mentor in his spiritual journey.

Therefore due to such spiritual inclinations, it was also a tradition among the Ottoman Caliphs to call themselves Khadim Haramain Sharifain or the server of the two Holy Cities of Makka and Madina a title which was later resumed by the Ibn Saud family and which continues till this day.

The Syedzadgan Khadims are Sadaat e Hussaini and Kazmi Syeds descending from Imam Musa Kazim a descendent of the Holy Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him and his family). Throughout the centuries this denomination of Chishty Sufis i.e Khadim Sahibzadgan not only looked after the premises of the tomb but also kept the keys of the tomb since its inception in the 12th century A.D.

Khadim Syedzadgan is the oldest community in Ajmer having a continuous history of 850 years. At the Dargah Sharif, anyone who visits and pays homage to the Saint takes one of the Khadim sahib to facilitate the Ziarah, the tradition which has traditionally been known as Vakalat or Spiritual Representation.

Throughout the history of the Dargah Sharif any visitor whether it a common man or a Sufi Sheikh of a Sufi silsila or an Emperor of India like Emperor Akbar they have all benefitted through the mediation of prayers held by their respective spiritual Vakil who is a Khadim Khwaja Sahib. Those who have known the spiritual significance of this tradition have always benefitted by following it and keeping in touch with the respective duago vakil of their likeness. Mughal Emperor Jahangir in his auto-biography Tuzk-e-Jahangiri mentions that one of his siblings a brother named Prince Daniyal was born in Ajmer Sharif into the Khanqah or Monastery of Hazrat Sufi Shaikh Syed Daniyal Chishty situated near the Dargah Mualla of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hassan Chishty. This child of Emperor Akbar's was named Daniyal after his duago Vakil's name whose name Syed Daniyal Chishty. He further mentions in his autobiography Tuzk-e-Jahangiri that Emperor Akbar had often benefitted through the prayers of the Sufi Shaikh Syed Daniyal Chishty who was a very pious man and a friend of Allah.

Due to the wide popularity enjoyed by the Khadims they have often invited unwanted attention from people connected to the Dargah Sharif or outsiders who could not stand a sight of the position and privilege enjoyed by the Khadims which they have earned through a continuous history of sacrifice and compassion towards their faith and religion and to the Chishty Sufi Denomination.

It has often been noticed that interested groups have often attempted to portray the Chishty family of Syedzadgan Khadim Khwaja Sahib in bad view among the general public for their own benefit and selfish interests.

Propaganda has been adopted by men who see Khadims as a hurdle to the achievement of their nefarious designs.

Most members of the Chishty Syedzadgan Hereditary Khadim Family have a continuous history of selfless service toward humanity. Chishtyirfansyed (talk) 04:08, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
