ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sufi

Okay kiddo, so you know how some people believe in God and try to worship and follow certain ways to show their love and devotion to God? Well, Sufis are a group of people who also believe in God, but they show their love and devotion in a special way.

Sufis believe that the love for God should come from the heart, not just the mind, and they use music and poetry to express their love. They dance and sing to connect with God, and they also believe in meditation and contemplation to reach a higher spiritual state.

Sufis also value the idea of love, peace, and empathy towards all living things. They believe that everyone should be treated with kindness and respect, no matter what race, religion or background they come from.

So, in simple terms, Sufis are a group of people who use music, poetry, and meditation to show their love and connection towards God, while also valuing love, peace, and empathy towards everyone else.
