Spirituality through music is an integral facet of Sufism, and an important dimension in the practice of many interpretations of Islam, including the Ismaili tariqah. Sufism (tasawwuf in Arabic) is the esoteric expression of Islamic tradition, dedicated to the inner search of the heart and soul to reach a higher realm.
Musical expression is helpful in observing a Sufi’s path in life. Through dhikr, meditation, prayer, poetry, and the recitation of the Qur’an, Sufis immerse themselves in contemplation and spiritual reflection.
