Death Before Dying offers a window on the Sufi mystical tradition,
providing a rare glimpse into the religious lives of rural Muslims
during the days of the Mughal Empire. The poetry of Sultan Bahu has
inspired Sufis of the Punjab for countless generations, embodying
essential characteristics of the mystical tradition, especially in its
emphasis on complete and unrestricted devotion to God coupled with
skepticism toward the formal, legalistic, and institutionalized elements
of organized religion.
