This study aims to present an analysis of the teachings and ideals of Sufis in India to promote peace and brotherhood throughout the nation. The term Sufism embraces the philosophy and practices which aim at direct communion between God and man, and those who practice Sufism are called Sufis. Traditional Islam and Sufism specifically have, throughout their history, maintained the principle of living with the incredible diversity of India and other countries. This concept of mutual respect between religions has persisted in the development of Sufism. Sufi saints in India worked as protectors, even of the oppressed Hindus. Networks established by early Sufi saints in India demonstrated their fidelity to the Islamic concept of peace between different belief systems. The peaceful tradition of Sufi Islam has been present across India. There are so many Sufis who played great roles in India to promote peace such as Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti, Muhammad Nizamuddin Awliyah, and Sheikh Zain Uddin Makhdoom, a Sufi theologian, living in Kerala in the 16th century, called for Muslims to join hands with Hindus to defend the nation against colonialism. As Muslims throughout India's history lived peacefully with other believers, we should carefully observe the vision of Sufi Islam as one of mercy, inherited from the prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) peace be upon himself. Sufism plays a vital role in uniting the Muslim Uma and the general masses across the nation and world too. It develops brotherhood among human beings if they belong to any religion, whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, etc. Sufis do not discriminate against people based on their religion, Caste, Color, creed, and sex. Sufis treat all human beings equally in the entire world. Sufi teachings convey the message of love, peace, tolerance, forgiveness, human dignity, mutual respect and understanding, religious harmony, the oneness of humanity, and ending conflict in the name of religion to the people and reducing hatred in society. The present study outcomes show the right path to living together for the betterment and upliftment of society where different communities and groups lived with different ideologies, traditions, beliefs, cultures, etc.
