The Path of the Heart: Sufism in Indian Islamic History - Origins, Orders, and Enduring Legacy
| Author(s) | MD Sayeed Alam |

| Country | India |
| Abstract | This article examines the historical trajectory of Sufism in the Indian subcontinent from its arrival in the 8th century through its flourishing under the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire, to its contemporary relevance. It traces the development of major Sufi orders (silsilas), their spiritual philosophies, institutional structures such as the khanqah, and their profound influence on South Asian culture, interfaith relations, music, and literature. The article argues that Sufism’s emphasis on love, tolerance, and service to humanity made it the single most important vehicle for the peaceful dissemination of Islamic ideas across the subcontinent. |
