Abstract
The main purpose of the present paper is to throw light on the Sufis’ role not only as religious ‘preachers’, but also as ‘healers’. As healers, Sufis had been able to mobilize the peasantry and rural men under their fold. The present paper aims at discussing how the Mughal tradition of unani medicine was followed by the Sufis, leading to great material value in social life.
