Sufism is a kind of Islamic spiritual philosophy. The essence of this theory is to establish a relationship with the Almighty Allah through achieving purification of the soul. The real goal of Sufism is to achieve His presence by freeing the heart from impurities by remembering the Creator at all times. The glorious presence of Sufism in this vast Bengal has been for a long time. Sometimes openly, sometimes secretly, sometimes deeply, sometimes symbolically and figuratively, it seems to be heard in the voice of the Baul poet of mystical thought, in the arena of Saiji, but even in the ancient Upanishads, the connection between their meditation and philosophy can be found. The stream that has been flowing from the Volga to the Ganges for hundreds of thousands of years, has traveled through this philosophical and ritual atmosphere.

The immortal words of the Sufi saint Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi have returned not only in the voices of the poets who roam the paths and fields of Bengal but also in the mouths of the wandering saints, workers and people of great fame. There is a strong presence of mystical meditation and concepts in our way of life, in meditation and knowledge, in conviction and expectation, in seeking and receiving, which may not be able to be summed up in one word.
There were many pioneers of Sufi practice in Bangladesh who devoted their entire lives to Sufi practice. However, they did not limit their spirituality, study, perseverance, rituals and formalities to mystical practice alone, but rather enriched Bengali art and literature with countless works with the touch of Sufi practice! Sufi practice basically brings about the true awakening of free intellect. By connecting and coordinating work with religion, it makes life meaningful and above all significant. In this way, this ideal helps people to eliminate religious dogma and inspire them with the ideal of human values. And the combination of all these is the inner message of Sufi practice. In fact, this is exactly why Sufi saints have been described as people of free intellect throughout the ages. They have given priority to the development of a liberal, open attitude and mentality devoid of overall cultural development and sectarian divisions.

The essence of Sufism is to establish a link between religion and action. We know that action originates from thought. As thought is, so is its implementation. In our mind lives a doer of action, whose abode and abode are woven in another thread. In what the prophets call aborigine or arshe mahalla, he lives there under the constant supervision of Lord Niranjan. Meanwhile, his shadow, as a ‘(human body) caged bird’, repeatedly comes and goes. Even if one tries to put a chain on his feet, he cannot be tied.
Because his main happiness is tied to arshe mahalla. His reflection is not in eight chambers but in the cage of this ahnira bird. Hearing the tune of the flute, he only flutters. He is in constant communication with it. But not everyone has the same knowledge in understanding the structure of that communication. In fact, when a layer of dust falls on a mirror, the reflection never emerges clearly. Mystics are always keen to keep the mirror of their minds clean. And their communication light and power are much more dynamic than the other ten.
The people of Bangladesh have been religious since ancient times. Since ancient times, Islam has spread in this region due to the continuous preaching of famous saints and Sufi saints. The clean, pure and simple lifestyle of these great Sufis, Pirs and Darvesh, who were disinterested, greedless, selfless, unassuming and always dedicated to others and dedicated their lives to the service of creation, has greatly influenced and attracted people to the religion of peace, Islam.

Their unique sweetness of character and the magic of their personalities have further strengthened and strengthened the foundation of Islam in this country. And due to their influence, devout Bengali Muslims have been spontaneously nurturing the Sufi ideology of loving Islam in their hearts for ages in real life.
Sufi saints choose the path of distributing the food of peace to the human mind through relentless Sufi research, Masnavi practice and Sufi philosophy. And while doing so, they enter the depths of Sufism, collecting all the priceless gems! They are the ones who believe in a liberal sense of religion in all respects and are the bearers and bearers of values devoid of communalism.
Sufi saints see religion as a source of peace and also present it to everyone. Their spirituality inspires the masses greatly. The contemporary relevance of their ideology brings a new meaning and resonance to mankind.
