Abstract

Sufism is a highly developed system based on process of thought and action which demands absolute love towards God and service to humanity. The Sufism has a deep influence on the varied populations of the world. The carriers of the Sufism were the Sufis and they have removed all the possible barriers and obstacles among different sections of people. Their message was unity and love. Every possible effort was made by them to spread the education among people. Because education and unity are itself a way towards progress. People were encouraged and advised by them to adopt different economic activities. Structural changes were brought by the Sufis in the society.
