Langar (Sufism)
Langar (Persian: لنگر) is an institution among Sufi Muslims in South Asia whereby food and drink are given to the needy regardless of social or religious background. Its origins in Sufism are tied to the Chishti Order. Etymology ''Langar'' is originally a Persian word, and later came into Urdu and Punjabi from it, and in Bengali as ''longor'' ( bn, লঙ্গর). History Langar, the practice and institution, was first started by Baba Farid, a Muslim of the Chishti Sufi order. The institution of the langar was already popular in the 12th and 13th century among Sufis of the Indian subcontinent. The practice grew and is documented in the ''Jawahir al-Faridi'' compiled in 1623 CE. It was later, both the institution and term, adopted by Sikhs. The food is served out of a massive pot called a ''deg'' in the precincts of a dargah (Sufi shrine). Religious meaning Serving food to the needy has been a rich tradition among Sufis, especially of the Chishti Order. There is ex ...
