Sufi Soul: The Mystic Music Of Islam

For hundreds of millions of Sufi followers worldwide, music is at the heart of their tradition and a way of getting closer to God. From the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey to the qawwali music of Pakistan, Sufism has produced some of the worlds most spectacular music celebrated by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Dalrymples film traces the shared roots of Christianity and Islam in the Middle East and discovers Sufism to be a peaceful, tolerant and pluralistic bastion against fundamentalism.

"Sufi's are Sunni's" definition is not true actually. Sufism is not about sectarians..

@5graffitiartist5. No, of course not, singing is obviously a sin. He would never approve of soap or deodorant either judging by how people like you smell. You just splash some water under your arms and face and pretend you're clean (no such thing as germs obviously).

Strictly Quran+Strictly Sunnuh=Islam.

Getting closer to God is to obey his commands (Salaah, Zakat, Good Manners, Good hygiene etc. etc. )and obey and follow his messenger.

Would God or his messenger approve of such act? (singing and using such instrument to call out to God?)

Think.

Salaam.

Salaam.
