Scenes From Turkey: Whirling Dervishes

Scenes From Turkey: Whirling Dervishes:


Whirling is one of the tools used by Sufis (Islamic mystics) to come closer to Allah, but it's not the only one. Different orders of Sufis apply different practices, including whirling, zikr, and others.


The vast majority of whirling dervishes in Turkey trace their spiritual roots to Celaleddin Mevlâna Rumi, who founded the Mevlevi Sufi order in the 13th century. 'Mevlâna' means 'guide', or 'master'. 'Rumi' means 'from the Sultanate of Rum'
