ABSTRACT
Sufism has attracted the attention of contemporary scholars; however, its connection to spiritual healing and its relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly good conduct, remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the collective sentiment in Sufism that emphasises the belief that companionship in the afterlife is granted to those with a pure soul and noble actions. The findings reveal that this belief in Sufism encourages good conduct in daily life, a fundamental aspect of spiritual healing and an essential component of the SDGs. Through qualitative data collection and a sociological analysis of Sufism, this study explores how the concept of grave visits in two prominent Sufi works connects to good conduct as a vital element of spiritual healing. The research suggests that the relationship between the body and spirit in Sufism reinforces the ‘social body'—embodied in ethical behaviour—and fosters adaptation to higher physical and spiritual realities. Additionally, this study delves into the relationship between healing miracles in Sufi literature, Muslim sainthood, and their alignment with the SDGs, highlighting the broader impact of Sufi practices on personal and social well-being.
