Summary/Abstract: Throughout the history of the world the impact of religion on literarature and musical creativity is very well known. Many of the world's masterpieces in literature and music had as the primary inspiration the mystical connections of humans with the creator. Such an influence, in the musical creativity of composers like Mozart and Beethoven had the Sufi orders of Mevlevi and Bektashi. Whereas, Sufism had a greater influence in the Albanian spiritual culture, especially the Bektashi order.
