Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Sufism, Islamic mysticism, is in essence a message of love. The metaphor of love, lover and the beloved was developed so intensely by Sufism that its metaphoric significance was and is sometimes mistaken for wanton sexuality.

Key to Sufism is the concept of disciple and master, the master being the beloved. However, it is important to note that the beloved is an embodiment of a spiritual beloved entirely beyond physical form.

Undoubtedly in recent times Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan through his music was the most significant bearer of the Sufi message of love.
