(a) Nizam-ud-din believed that one could embrace God within this life by Talab (Deep Desire for Union With God) and Fana (Destruction of Ego). Nizam-ud-din did not believe in discrimination on grounds of religion, caste or sex. H9 said, “be generous to the needy, the poor, the exploited and the oppressed.” 

(b) Sufism proved very helpful in birdging the gap between the followers of Hinduism and Islam and encouraged the feeling of Hindu-Muslim unity to a considerable extent in the following ways: 

1. Sufism preached religious tolerance, brotherhood and oneness of God. Inspite of the different rules of various religions, the ultimate aim is to reach the God. 

2. Equality and brotherhood of all human beings irrespective of caste, colour, cread and religion. 

3. Sufism believed in unity of all religions, because every religion points out the ultimate aim to reach the God and get his blessings.
