Chants:
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.
