Whirling dervishes typically use traditional Sufi music, which often includes instruments like the ney (a type of Flute), oud (a stringed instrument), and percussion. The music is usually based on specific melodies and rhythms that help create a spiritual atmosphere, facilitating the trance state sought during the dance. Commonly, the compositions are derived from the works of famous Sufi poets, such as Rumi, and emphasize themes of love, devotion, and unity with the divine. The music serves as both a guide and an accompaniment to the spiritual journey of the dancer.
