Khanqah information

A khanqah (Persian: خانقاه) or khangah (Persian: خانگاه; also transliterated as khankah, khaneqa, khanegah or khaneqah; also Arabized hanegah, hanikah, hanekah, khankan), also known as a ribat (رباط), is a building designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood or tariqa and is a place for spiritual practice and religious education.^[1] The khanqah is typically a large structure with a central hall and smaller rooms on either side.^[2] Traditionally, the kahnqah was state-sponsored housing for Sufis.^[3] Their primary function is to provide them with a space to practice social lives of asceticism.^[4] Buildings intended for public services, such as hospitals, kitchens, and lodging, are often attached to them.^[4] Khanqahs were funded by Ayyubid sultans in Syria, Zangid sultans in Egypt, and Delhi sultans in India in return for Sufi support of their regimes.^[5]^[3]^[6]
