Sufism or Taṣawwuf (Arabic)variously defined as "Islamic Mysticism" the dimension of Islam" or "the phenomenon of mysticism within Islam", is mysticism in Islam, "characterized ... [by particular] values, ritual practices, doctrines and institutions" which began very early in Islamic history and represents "the main manifestation and the most important and central crystallization of" mystical practice in Islam. Practitioners of Sufism have been referred to as "Sufis".

Historically, Sufis have often belonged to different turuq or "orders" – congregations formed around a grand master referred to as a wali who traces a direct chain of successiv teacher back to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. These orders meet for spiritual sessions (majalis) in meeting places known as zawiyas, khanqahs or tekke. They strive for Ihsan (perfection of worship), as detailed in a hadith: "Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him; if you can't see Him, surely He sees you." Sufis regard Muhammad as al-insan, al- kamil, the primary perfect man who exemplifies the morality of God and see him as their leader and prime spiritual guide.

All Sufi orders trace most of their original precepts from Muhammad through his cousin and son-in-law Ali, with the notable exception of the Naqshbandi order, who trace their original precepts to Muhammad through his companion and father-in-law, Abu Bakr.

The 2,601 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of India and Bangladesh, eventually emptying into the Bay of Bengal.   The Ganges is one India's holiest and also most-polluted rivers. Millions live on its banks across several states. It's widely considered as a lifeline for many Indians. But it has become severely polluted in the past few decades - industrial effluent is regularly emptied into the waters, as is waste from the millions of people who live alongside its banks. The government has spent millions of dollars to clean up the river, but with very little success. But the lockdown meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus appears to have helped. Before lockdown After lockdown National Mission for Clean Ganga(NMCG)  was registered...
