in the same way the Khadims of Khwaja Garib Nawaz have been serving for 850 years. And the Khadims of Ajmer Sharif also have the right of custody of the Astana Sharif, just as the custody of the Kaaba has been handed over to a particular family from time immemorial and even after the conquest of Mecca.
Huzur Nabi Kareem (S.A.W.) took the key of Kaaba in his hand and again gave it to Hazrat Usman bin Talah, the head of the Usi clan, saying that this key (Kaleed) will remain in your family till doomsday and whoever snatches this key from you will be cruel.

Khadeems of Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz's Moruse Ala Khwaja Syed Fakhruddin Gardezi Chishti is the pir brother of Khawaja Gharib Nawaz and has a blood relation.

The reality is that apart from the rituals that take place every morning and evening for 12 months in Astane-Aqdas, all the rights inside Astane Sharif belong only to Khadems of Kahwaja Gareeb Nawaz, and he has been performing them from time immemorial in his ancestral capacity.
Khadim of Khwaaja Gharib Nawaz (R.A.) has access only, and through him the pilgrims also offer flower Chadar, attar, and nazro niyaz at the Mazar-e-Aqdas; the tarikh and maruf of Akbari and Jahangiri are also offered in the Degs.
According to the law, Khuddam e Khwaaja is the only Mustahk, and Jumla Mazhabi Takribat Mehfil and Digar programmes held in Ruba Rue Astana Aaliya Ahta-e-Noor are done with great tuzk and ehtsham from the side of Khuddam Hazrat and our community Anjuman Syed Zadgan throughout the year. Big langars are offered, and Niyaz is divided into Zareen, Gurba, Fukra, Masakeen, and everyone.
Therefore, every son serves his father, every student his master, every follower his peer, and every faithful servant serves that elder, from whom he has faith and sincerity.
That's why every son is the servant of his father, every disciple of his teacher, every disciple of his peer, and every disciple of his disciple (Jawab Nama Safa 139).
خود حدرت خواجہ بزرگ غریب نواز کا یہ ارشاد ، سیرلاولیا، میں مرقوم ہے
खुद हदरत ख्वाजा बुज़ुर्ग ग़रीब नवाज़ (र.अ) का ये इरशाद हे ( सेरुल अवलिया ) मैं मर्कुम हे
بست سال ملازم خدمت ایشان بودم چنان که یک
ساعت نفس را از خدمت آن بزرگ راحت نه دادم و در
سفر و حضر جامه خواب خواجه من می بردم
ینی میں بیس سال پیرو مرشد کا اس طرح ملازم خدمت رہا کہ حضرت کی خدمت سے گھڑی بھر کے لئے آرام نہیں لیا اور سفروحضر میں حضرت کا بستر میں اٹھاتا تھا۔
That is, I served Piro Murshid for 20 years in such a way that I did not take a moment to rest from the service of Hadrat and used to carry Hadrat's bed during travel and everywhere.
