While people across the globe are drawn to Sufism, its influence is particularly strong in Pakistan. Sufis played a vital role in the spread of Islam in the sub-continent and are highly revered in the region. Not surprisingly, shrines of these mystics draw hundreds and thousands throughout the year, and opulent tributes are paid to them on their birth and death anniversaries annually. Whatever your reason for visiting a shrine, whether it’s soul searching, or prayer, it is without a doubt.
