Answer 1

The statement about the practice of whirling dervishes in Sufism is true.

Explanation:

• The beliefs associated with the actions and expressions have symbolic meanings that are given due emphasis in certain cultures like those of the Sufi's.
• The actions performed in the specialized dance in Sufism are clearly related to taking and passing it forward without keeping it to ourselves. This idea is characterized by the posture of one hand facing the sky and the other hand facing the ground.
