Sufism Winning Converts in America Thanks to Mystic's Teachings

Sufism - a mystical strand of Islam - originated in the Islamic cultures of Asia and Africa, but  it also has a growing following in the U.S.   Its growth is attributed in large part to the teachings of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, a Sufi mystic. To learn more about the man and his teachings, Imran Siddiqui of VOA's Urdu Service visited his mazar - or mausoleum - in the eastern U.S. state of Pennsylvania, which has become a gathering place for many followers of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen.
