As per the Semitic religions’ beliefs, He is Almighty Allah and as per the most of the non-Semitic religions it is given various names based on its various Attributes. Sometimes it may differ from belief to belief as per their scriptures and dogmas. And, interestingly, it is found that one of the common characteristics of all the religions or beliefs is to live with peace and to establish a peaceful society and environment where all the members of a society can entertain his rights peacefully without hampering the others and consequently a universal harmonious cohesion among them would be set. But it is a matter of regret and sorrow that there is a kind of unrest, injustice and misunderstanding among the people of the society throughout the world. Some people seem to be the cause of such turmoil situations. On the other hand, it is also found that some other people of great souls are available in the same society who practice some esoteric activities in their lives and also recommend and encourage others; and accordingly, a few people become influenced to do so. As a result, this way of living helps people a lot to establish a peaceful society having mutual amity and cooperation among them for fostering universal solidarity as well. This practice is known as Spirituality or Sufi order of life.
