Sufism is a mystical movement within Islam and Lahore is a main Sufi centre in Pakistan, a town of mysticism and culture. Every Thursday devotees gather in Sufi shrines to pray and pay tributes to saints and listen to the Sufi music that is expression of the love for God and the joy of existence. The Indian Subcontinent is the region where more than anywhere else in the world of Islam Sufi music has performed so important role in propagating the Islamic teaching and has influenced life of people inspired by Sufis.
