Answer:

What were the major beliefs and practices of the Sufis?

  • Sufis were Muslim mystics. They rejected outward religiosity and gave emphasis on love and devotion to God. They inspired people to be compassionate towards all fellow human beings.

  • They rejected idol worship and considerably simplified rituals of worship into collective prayers.

  • They believed that the heart can be trained to look at the world in a different way.

  • They developed elaborate methods of training using zikr, meaning chanting of a name or sacred formula, contemplation, sama Le. singing, raqs, Le. dancing, discussion of parables, breath control etc. under the guidance of a master called pir.
