Sufi represents the mystical dimension of Islam, a way to purify our souls. It is a path, which takes seekers to the divine. When the lips are closed, the heart speaks up. When the heart is silent, the soul blazes up, bursting into flame and illuminating a whole new way of life. Music is a feast for the soul because through music one experiences divinity. Sufi Music Ensemble, led by the University of Alberta’s Karim Gillani, is a band that carries the classic message of Islamic traditional poetry with a modern outlook. Everything about their presentation is unique and meaningful, from their singing style to melodious pieces, from Qawwali to Ginan, from Kafi to Ghazals. If you would like to experience infinite love within your heart and soul then do not miss the chance to listen. This concert is a part of the Library’s Muslim Journeys series, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
