Question

A song whose title “devotes every breath” to a “drunken, red-robed” one of these people recounts lighting a fifth lamp in his honor. One of these people is said to have run through the streets carrying a torch and a bucket of water to put out the fires of hell and burn down Paradise; she also introduced a formulation of “real love.” Some Hindus offer rose petals and sacred sheets at a monument to one of these people in Ajmer, (10[2])which is a pilgrimage site (10[1])for that (10[1])man’s ‘urs (“aw-OORS”). Manqabat pieces honor either ʿAlī or one of these people and are performed by qawwals like Nusrat Fateh (-5[1])Ali Khan. Wahhabism (10[1])forbids making pilgrimages (10[2])to dargahs (-5[1])built over the graves (-5[1])of these people, (10[1]-5[2])whose acknowledgment orthodox Sunni (10[1])scholars consider shirk. For 10 points, orders like the Naqshbandi and the (-5[1])Chishtiya venerate what “Friends of God” (-5[1])including Rābiʿa Basri and Moinuddin Chishti? ■END■ (10[4]0[6])

ANSWER: Sufi saints [or wali; or ʾawliyāʾ; or awliyāa l-lahi; accept Friends of God or Friends of Allah before mention; prompt on any of pir, pir baba, hazrat, or khwaja with “What kind of person does the honorific refer to?”; prompt any of saints, Muslim saints, Sunni saints, or Shia saints with “From what more specific tradition?”; prompt on Sufis with “With what spiritual position?”] (The first clue references “Dama Dam Mast Qalandar,” a qawwali song about Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The second clue references Rābiʿa al-ʿAdawiyya, also known as Rābiʿa Basri, one of the first Sufi saints.)
