Vernacularization of Islam is the process through which the message
and teachings of Islam adjusted and adapted in local regional
environments outside Arabia. The universal principles of Islam were
vernacularized in specific time and space, and contextualized or
localized forms and expressions of Muslim piety emerged in these
regions. The credit of vernacularization of Islam and Sufism in South
Asia particularly goes to the sufis who challenged the Arabo-Persian
linguistic hegemony by producing religious literature in vernacular
languages and dialects, as a vast majority of the sufis depended less on
Arabic and Persian for the popularization of the sufi message. They
employed the medium of vernacular poetry to disseminate the message
of Sufism among the common people. They contributed to the
development of various scripts as well as new or existing literary
genres such as siharfis, kafis, Prem-kahani or „Sufi Romances,‟ and
ginans, in order to popularize the teachings of Sufism in South Asia.
