Dervish

 Wise men say

Only fools rush inBut I can't help falling in love with youShall I stay?Would it be a sinIf I can't help falling in love with you?

Dervish is a term used to describe a Sufi practitioner, who is a member of a Muslim mystical order called a tariqa. Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam that focuses on spiritual practices and the development of a personal relationship with God.

Dervishes are known for their ascetic lifestyles, which involve renouncing material possessions and dedicating themselves to spiritual pursuits. They engage in various forms of spiritual practices, including meditation, chanting, and dance, as a means of achieving a state of ecstasy and connection with the divine.

The most well-known form of dance associated with dervishes is the whirling dance, also known as the Sama. This dance involves spinning around in a circular motion while listening to music and reciting prayers. The spinning is believed to be a form of meditation and a way of connecting with the divine.

Dervishes also place a strong emphasis on service to others and living a life of compassion and kindness. They are known for their generosity and hospitality towards guests and visitors, and often engage in charitable works and social activism.

In addition to their spiritual practices, dervishes also adhere to a code of ethics and principles known as adab, which emphasizes humility, honesty, and respect for others.

Dervishes have a long and rich history in Islamic culture, dating back to the early days of Islam. They have played an important role in preserving and promoting Islamic spirituality and culture, and continue to inspire and influence people around the world with their spiritual practices and teachings.

Today, dervish orders can be found throughout the Muslim world, and their practices and teachings continue to inspire people of all backgrounds and religions. The beauty and grace of their whirling dance, in particular, has captivated audiences around the world and become a symbol of Islamic spirituality and mysticism.
