Opis

Sufis are the Muslims who represent the spiritual proportions of Islam. They are described mystics of Islam during their whole lives. Basically a Sufi saint in any religion is equal to a Sufi saint in any other religion because they are motivated by the same Divine Source. A Sufi doctrine contains many elements that go beyond the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Islam is an external structure in which the individual exists while the internal search for enlightenment belongs to a realm of Sufi knowledge. After Prophet (PBUH), four caliphs and early followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) spread Islam in the world. Sufis became integrated and important central part of Islamic culture and society. This research aims at studying the 6 major Sufi saints came in district Jhang for the preaching of Islam on the orders of their religious teachers. The research was conducted in district Jhang on the tombs of Sufi saints and total 150 followers of these Sufi saints were interviewed for the purpose of the study.
