The world of Sufism revolves around Ishq. In that world, the relationship of human love with Allah is the main subject of Sufism. From this basic idea, human love and improvement of human soul were the main living issues among the Sufis. In this context, the social contribution of Sufis can be witnessed. Starting from the 11th century, the Sufis who came to Bengal conducted various social activities around their khanqah and mazar e sharifs. The contribution of Sufis in education, health and improving the quality of life adds a new chapter to the religious and social history of Bengal. Sufi believes that “doing good and making people do good things is called Jihad. Refraining one from all evil and making people restraining is called Jihad”. | |
