Скачать или смотреть What is Sufi Music? (The Sound of Islamic Mysticism)

In this episode, we finally dive into one of my favorite topics - Sufi Music. We discuss its history, practical uses as well as theoretical, philosophical perspectives on the role and power of music to affect the human soul, all from the perspective of Muslim Sufi writers.

Thank you again to Mosa'ab Elshamy for kindy allowing me to use his footage. Check out more of his work on his official website:
