In most religions and traditions, dance has been described as a mean of escaping from the physical world and earthly possessions and entering into spiritual realms.

In a word, Sama means hearing sounds and dulcet tones. In the Sufi terms, Sama means singing mystical songs, sometimes accompanied by instruments such as Def, nay, and Tambour, the elation and rotation of the audiences, and the rotation of the body with the trance mode for spiritual purposes.

 The Sama is one of the most important educational principles of Sufism that the Sufis have been working on in a state of excitement.

The Sama has a several thousand years’ history and the first references to the Sama dated back to the time of David the Prophet.
