Sufi lodge information

A Sufi lodge^[a] is a building designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood or tariqa and is a place for spiritual practice and religious education.^[1] They include structures known as khānaqāh, zāwiya, ribāṭ, dargāh and takya depending on the region, language and period (see § Terminology). The Sufi lodge is typically a large structure with a central hall and smaller rooms on either side.^[2] Traditionally, the Sufi lodge 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] Sufi lodges 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]
