ABOUT

Auliya Council of North America (ACNA) has been venerating, celebrating and advancing the legacy of the spiritual, cultural and social richness bequeathed by the Muslim Auliya, the (Sufi teachers) of the Indian Subcontinent. These spiritual masters lived the attributes of magnanimity in charity and kindness without discrimination, and practiced an earth-like humility that allowed their message to seep into the cultural soil of which they were part, cultivating a richness of brotherhood that lives on. The organization has worked to establish sama’a (qawwali), and has arranged events to celebrate the lives of Sufi saints, their contribution to society, and the role they played in the history of South Asia to encourage cultural syncretism.
