The whirling dervishes are members of a Sufi Muslim brotherhood founded in Konya in present-day Turkey in the thirteenth century. Subsequently, the brotherhood of whirling dervishes spread to Syria and Egypt. The dervish practices a special type of roundabout dance (sema) accompanied by instrumental music and religious songs; this type of exercise allows the dervish to reach a state of trance or ecstasy: he then deploys the arms, the palm of the right hand directed to the sky in order to collect the grace of Allah, that of the left hand directed to the earth to spread it.
