Sufism in Bangladesh

Sufism in Bangladesh is a spiritual tradition within Islam that emphasizes inner connection, love, and devotion to God. Sufis seek spiritual closeness through practices like meditation, prayer, music (like qawwali), and poetry. In Bangladesh, Sufism has a historic presence, often fostering communal harmony and tolerance. Sufi saints established spiritual centers called shrines or dargahs, which attract devotees seeking blessings and guidance. While Sufism focuses on personal spirituality and love for God, it coexists peacefully with other religious practices, enriching Bangladesh’s diverse cultural landscape.
