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