Answer 1

The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.

Key Points

Wali	Wali was considered as the friend of God who claimed the proximity to Allah. He was having the grace to perform miracles (Karamat). Hence pair 1 is correctly matched.
Ziyarat	Ziyarat is the practice of pilgrimage to Sufi saints’ tombs. It is usually done on his death anniversary. This is showing the union of the soul with God. People believed that after death saints were closer to the Gods. Hence pair 2 is correctly matched.
Tasawwuf	Tasawwuf is the word used for Sufism in Islamic texts. The function is to purify the heart from lowly attributes such as anger, jealousy, malice, love, lust and fame. It functions on the lines of morality. It is the man’s direct relationship with his maker which is breath and life of religion. Hence the pair 3 is not correctly matched.

1. Wali	Sufi who is having God's grace to perform a miracle
2. Ziyarat	the pilgrimage to the tombs of Sufi saints.
3. Tasawwuf	music performance of Sufi saints.
