SUFI SONG is considered as a type of Sufism. It is considered as an
expression of devotion to God. It also aims to connect the physical and
spiritual sole of a human. Sufi music can result in beautiful and
pleasant atmosphere and that is one of the reasons why the SUFI singers
enjoy performing it very much. In Sufi music everything is supposed to
have a form. The thought put in and the word used for the
composition.Every word of it depicts a picture in the mind of the
listener.Sound alone does not make any object appear before the
listener. Sufi thoughts, which were basically composed in Arabic,
traversed through different languages and culture from Persian to
Turkish and are enriched by multiple cultures of the world. Today, it
finds expression through diverse musical genres and untold musical forms.Sufi song deliver peaceful connect. The singers try to reach everyone's soul. Sufism is not about the singing in a melodious voice but, but a way of life. It's about cleansing the heart of the listener and make him feel pure, make him feel pristine and influence positivity into his mind. It's about adding love into his heart; make the listener understand the meaning of love. The love could be for anyone, towards fellow human beings, other creatures or THE ALLMIGHTY.
Sufi songs have a unique appeal about them. There is something mystical, something passionate, something soothing about them that put ones soul in trance. It doesn't matter what type of song it is either romantic sad Sufi, one just get totally lost in them.
Sufi songs have been a part of Bollywood for a long time for now. Many songs have been successful in settling in the hearts of the listener. Songs like ‚¬"Maula Mere Maula‚¬ by Roop Kumar Rathod, A.R Rehman's ‚¬"Tere Bina‚¬ from the movie GURU, or be ‚¬"Yaa Ali‚¬ from the movie GANGSTER have touched the listeners of all ages and class. The songs have been detrimental not only for the success of the movie, but also for the Sufi singers .
Bollywood is credited for popularising Sufi Music but also drove the controversy of commercializing this form of purest music.A proper balance must be maintained between the purest and commercial approaches. Changes do occur in each and every art and Sufism is not an exception. There is no end to this debate, but the bottom-line is this music is still winning everybody's heart.
