A Sufi Kalam traces the Islamic philosophy of Sufism through dialectic. Sufi Kalams are conversational in tone as the term Kalam draws from the Arabic for speech. The Sufi Kalam interprets Allah’s words to his devotees, a Kalam expressing the faith that God is an absolute entity and no attribute can be associated with him. Sufi Kalams suggest that when man becomes one with God, an intense process in itself, he becomes a true partisan of justice and unity. Inhabiting the border of India and Pakistan, the Sufi Sindhi community are well known for their historical association with music and their distinctive style of music. This album contains some of their traditional and popular Sufi Kalams.
