Pakistan is rich with sufi culture and is home to some of the most mesmerising shrines.Every year millions of individuals visit these shrines for spiritual enlightenment. Here one finds Muslims and non Muslims of different sects who otherwise will not offer prayers with each other, but in Sufi shrines at a particular Urs they would not only celebrate but dine, sleep and, pray together.

It is the sufi message of love, peace and oneness that can have the most positive impact on the extremist mindset that has griped modern day Pakistan. The Qawali often sang at these shrines or about the sufi mystics, the shrines are dedicated to, generally speak of themes of love, acceptance and tolerance. The essence of sufism is of looking at something beyond ourselves by looking within us. It is a message that aims to take away all the hate and fear we feel and remind us that there is something greater than us and that light and divinity can also be found within us.
