Sufi rituals

Sufi rituals are spiritual practices aimed at fostering a deeper connection to the divine. They often include repetitive chantings (dhikr), meditation, music, and dance, such as the whirling of the Mevlevi order. These activities help practitioners achieve inner peace, love, and spiritual insight by purifying the heart and mind. Rituals vary among different Sufi orders but commonly emphasize remembrance of God, humility, and unity with the divine essence. They serve as pathways to transcend everyday consciousness and experience spiritual closeness, fostering community and personal transformation.
