Whirling Dervishes perform The Sema Ritual - stock photo

The Sema Ritual began with the inspiration of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) and was influenced by Turkish customs and culture.The origin and roots of Sufism lie in the life and practices of the Prophet of Islam and the Qurâ??an. Sufism espouses a well-founded and thoroughgoing interpretation of Islam, which focuses on love, tolerance, worship of God, community development, and personal development through self-discipline and responsibility. A Sufiâ??s way of life is to love and be of service to people, deserting the ego or false self and all illusion so that one can reach maturity and perfection, and finally reach Allah, the True, the Real. It is scientifically recognized that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no being or object which does not revolve, because all beings are comprised of revolving electrons, protons, and neutrons in atoms. Everything revolves, and the human being lives by means of the revolution of these particles, by the revolution of the blood in his body, and by the revolution of the stages of his life, by his coming from the earth and his returning to it.
