===Visitation=== {{Main|Ziyara}} [[File:Bidokht 8810 (19)-W.jpg|thumb|right|Sufi mosque in Esfahan, Iran]] In popular Sufism (i.e. devotional practices that have achieved currency in world cultures through Sufi influence), one common practice is to [[Ziyarat|visit or make pilgrimages]] to the tombs of saints, renowned scholars, and righteous people. This is a particularly common practice in South Asia, where famous tombs include such saints as [[Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani|Sayyid Ali Hamadani]] in [[Kulab, Tajikistan|Kulob]], Tajikistan; [[Afaq Khoja|AfΔq Khoja]], near [[Kashgar]], China; [[Lal Shahbaz Qalandar]] in [[Sindh]]; [[Ali Hujwiri|Ali Hujwari]] in [[Lahore]], Pakistan; [[Bahauddin Zakariya]] in [[Multan]] Pakistan; [[Moinuddin Chishti]] in [[Ajmer]], India; [[Nizamuddin Auliya]] in [[Delhi]], India; and [[Shah Jalal]] in [[Sylhet]], Bangladesh. Likewise, in [[Fes, Morocco]], a popular destination for such pious visitation is the [[Zaouia Moulay Idriss II]] and the yearly visitation to see the current sheikh of the Qadiri Boutchichi [[Tariqah]], Sheikh Sidi Hamza al Qadiri al Boutchichi to celebrate the [[Mawlid]] (which is usually televised on Moroccan National television).<ref>{{Cite news|title=Popular Sufi leader in Morocco dies aged 95|url=https://gulfnews.com/world/mena/popular-sufi-leader-in-morocco-dies-aged-95-1.1964439|access-date=2020-12-30|publisher=gulfnews.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|author=Staff Writer|date=2018-03-28|title=Confreries: A Crossroads of Morocco's Literary and Spiritual Diversity |url=https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2018/03/243298/confreries-crossroads-moroccos-literary-spiritual-diversity/|access-date=2020-12-30|publisher=Morocco World News}}</ref> This action has voiced particular condemnation by the Salafis.
