From the lyrics, rhythm, and structure involved in such a performance, Qawwali music emerged as a core practice to propel Sufi seekers further into discovery of Divine knowledge. Qawwali music, bound to a complex network of customary performance, is a technology embedded with its own politics. Music is indeed a highly intricate means of communicating meanings, values, attitudes and emotions. In Sufism, music operates as a stimulus for spiritual advancement within the Islamic faith, because music is an unobjectionably deeply influential medium of communication that can render a Sufi seeker closer or further from his goal. Qawwali is an Indian-localized subgenre of Sufi music Sufism within Islamic theology deals with the internal and metaphysical matters of the heart, spirit, and soul. While some have been led to believe that music in Islam is prohibited altogether, or at least some type of instruments are, this categorical approach towards the permissibility of musical activity in Islam is rebutted by the existence and profound significance of devotional musical practices, such as Qawwali. Religious injunctions in regards to music in Islam are teleological, or purpose-based serve rather than being rule-based.
