Khwaja Usman Harooni left this temporary world on 5 Shawwal, 617AH (1220) in Makkah . His Urs take place every year in Belchi, Bihar Sharif Nalanda, Bihar, on 15 & 16 of Shawwal. His blessings are invoked by people belonging to every strata of society and every school of thought. His actual tomb was in Makkah, until it was destroyed in the early years of the 21st century. The shrine in Belchi is Usmani Chillah (a chillah is a non-burial memorial shrine). This shrine is regarded as a symbol of Usman’s spiritual strength and of the source of his blessings.
As known, a muridah waliyah of Usman Harooni took promise from him that after her death her tomb will be beneath in his feet, but eventually Usman Harooni died in Mecca, Arabia. To fulfill his promise, Usman Harooni once again existed in Belchi and ordered the muridah to build his shrine and after her death, she’ll be buried beneath the shrine of Usman Harooni in Belchi. Beside his Chillah was built the tomb of the Waliya. For the past 650 years, an annual Urs has taken place every year.
The first Urs ceremony was commemorated (originated) by Makhdoom Fariduddin Tavaela Bakhsh (d.1491) (First Sajjada Nasheen). His shrine is in Chandpura, Bihar Sharif. He was the son of Ibrahim (Nephew of Nizamuddin Auliya) & Fariduddin Tavaela Bukhsh founded the Chishti Nizami order in Bihar, he was the nephew & disciple of Noor Qutbe Alam Pandavi. He was the disciple of Alaul Haq Pandavi (also the Peer of Makhdoom Ashraf Jahangir Simnani). He was the disciple of Akhi Siraj Aainae Hind & he was the disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya (Mehboob E Illahi).
Reference:-
The esteemed details of the chillah & life of Usman Harooni are noted in the book “Moin ul Qul” by the late 19th century Sufi leader Gudri Shah Baba, of Ajmer.
