A dergah is a type of spiritual center or shrine in Islamic culture, particularly associated with Sufism. It serves as a place for worship, meditation, and community gatherings. Dergahs often honor the memory of a revered saint or spiritual leader, providing a space for followers to seek guidance and connect with the divine. Visitors to a dergah may participate in various rituals, including prayers, music, and communal meals. These centers often emphasize love, tolerance, and spiritual growth, reflecting the teachings of Sufi mysticism. Notable figures associated with dergahs include Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, who are celebrated for their contributions to Sufi philosophy.
