Sufi - peace and tranquility

My readers know that I believe in universal music. I believe that landmasses, borders, hatred, religion cannot be barrier to music. Music is universal. It is diverse yet it possesses the power to unite the masses. Music give us mental peace. It acts as a spiritual guide in stressful times.
Today, I am going to discuss a few words on the Sufi genre of music. Sufi music is the devotional music of the Sufis, inspired by the works of Sufi poets like Rumi, Hafiz, Amir Khushrow, Khwaja Ghulam Farid. This music genre preaches that by following the spiritual path and sacrificing materialistic pleasures, one can definitely attain mental peace and enlightenment. It also preaches that music acts like a tonic in a depressed and hateful life, a sweet one obviously. Sufism also preaches religious equality, tolerance and mercy.
Its origin are from India. The land of sages and scholars. The land of science and religion. There are numerous famous Sufi singers. Lalan Fakir, is one of the most famous singer of this genre. Nushrat Fateh Ali Khan, the famous poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, are some others.

Sufi music is also gaining attention in the west. I am providing a Sufi song for reference. Hope you people will like it. In this world full of sins, hate, terror, if we can take out time and listen to some Sufi songs; believe my friend, you will find peace.

Spirituality, tranquility and universal equality is the objective of Sufism. Through the hymns, it promotes thy. It is also a nice way of expressing love as well as sorrow.
Stay happy, stay peaceful.
