Jammu and Kashmir hosting two-day conference on Sufism

| @indiablooms | 14 Nov 2020, 03:54 pm

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir administration has organized a  two-day conference on Sufism in the Valley to revive the cultural heritage of the region.

Titled as 'Mehfil-e-Sama', the event is witnessing a number of Sufiyana music segments performed by renowned Sufi singers of the Valley.

A good number of people including writers, poets, authors, and other intellectuals have also made their presence felt, ANI reported.

“The new youth of the region are writing books. And mind you, writing books is not an easy job — authors matters. To my mind, Kashmir is nothing but Sufism and Tasawwuf (the process of realising ethical and spiritual ideals). Practice these two and Kashmir will stay protected. No such event was organised in the last 70 years,” Farooq Renzu Shah, Organiser and Chairman Kashmir Society, told ANI.

 Ishaac Bukhari, a Sufi writer, said such events should be hosted regularly to spread the message of Sufism.

“Such conference should be regularly organised so that the message of Sufism is spread across the world including India. If we tread on the path of Sufism it is possible that we will be able to solve many of the worldly problems that afflict us in this day and age,” Bukhari told the Indian news agency.
