Answer 1

Answer:

Sufism (Arabic: ٱلصُّوفِيَّة), also known as Tasawwuf[1] (ٱلتَّصَوُّف), is mysticism[2] in Islam, "characterized ... [by particular] values, ritual practices,[3] doctrines and institutions".[4] It is variously defined as "Islamic mysticism",[4][5][6] "the mystical expression of Islamic faith",[7] "the inward dimension of Islam",[8][9] or "the phenomenon of mysticism within Islam".[10][11] Sufism began very early in Islamic history,[10] and represents "the main manifestation and the most important and central crystallization of" mystical practice in Islam.[12][13] Practitioners of Sufism have been referred to as "Sufis" (from صُوفِيّ, ṣūfīy).[10]
