Different orders of Sufis follow different styles of dhikr, including the “whirling dervishes” who express dhikr in dance, and the qawwali singers of south Asia who express it in music. Sufis have a form of worship called dhikr, or remembrance, which often consists of repetitive content, for example, repeating certain sentences or enumerating the names of God, sometimes counting along on a string of beads like Catholics do. The qawwali is a uniquely south Asian form of devotional music commonly associated with the Sufi sect of Islam. Rehmatun bar haali maa ya Rehmat-ul lil aalamein.

He brought many people a lot of joy with his music. I added this version as a tribute to Amjad. It’s a one-of-a-kind performance that unfortunately will never be repeated since Amjad Sabri was murdered by the Taliban in June this year. But I have to post this other very special version sung by Amjad Sabri, the son of Ghulam Fareed Sabri of the Sabri Brothers.
I already posted a version of this qawwali sung by Neha Naaz.
