Sufi Music, Muslim Sufi
music took up and emphasized certain Qur'anic terms such as
(al-Thikr), praise of Allah, and his divine 99 names,
recitation of the Quraan and (Tawakkul) trust in Allah, now
defined as renunciation of all personal initiative and
volition, leaving one's self entirely in Allah's hands.
For them, Allah is the sole reality, and is
above all names and definitions. He is not just
absolute being, but also absolute good, and therefore
absolute beauty. As it is the nature of beauty to
desire manifestation, so the phenomenal universe is the
result of this desire.
In 1100 A.D., Sufi teachings gave rise to
Dervish orders, most of which glorify the love of Allah in
the practice of exciting ecstasy achieved by enchanting
music and whirl dancing.
