=== Sufi Music ===
[[Sufism]], Islam's mystical dimension, advocates peace, tolerance, and pluralism, as well as music as a means of improving one's relationship with God. Sufi music aims to bring listeners closer to God. The deep urge to dissolve the physical realm and transcend into the spiritual universe, which occurs through the practice of listening to music, chanting, and whirling, and culminating in spiritual ecstasy, lies at the heart of Sufi lyrics.<ref name="Sufi music: The song of the soul">{{Cite news |title=Sufi music: The song of the soul |work=The Economic Times |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/sufi-music-the-song-of-the-soul/articleshow/7840662.cms |access-date=2022-05-09 |archive-date=2022-05-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220509171041/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/sufi-music-the-song-of-the-soul/articleshow/7840662.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Because music is viewed as a tool for the believer to grow closer to the holy, sound and music are important to the basic experience of Sufism. Sufi music is therefore music created by and for the soul.<ref name="Sufi music: The song of the soul"/>
