Answer:
SUFISM
The term "Sufi" derives from the Arabic word "suf" (meaning "wool") and was applied to Muslim ascetics and mystics because they wore garments made out of wool. Sufism represents a dimension of Islamic religious life that has frequently been viewed by Muslim theologians and lawyers with suspicion. The ecstatic state of the mystic can sometimes produce extreme behaviour or statements that on occasion appear to border on the blasphemous. The cause of this is that the Sufis can sometimes feel so close to God that they lose a sense of their own self identity and feel themselves to be completely absorbed into God. This in fact is the goal of the Sufi. Through following a series of devotional practices, which lead to higher levels of ecstatic state, Sufis aspire to realise a condition in which they are in direct communion with God. Ultimately the individual human personality passes away and the Sufi feels his soul absorbed into God.

Answer:
Sikhism - The word Sikh (pronounced "sickh") means 'disciple' or 'learner.' The Sikh religion was founded in Northern India in the fifteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and is distinct from Islam and Hinduism. Sikhism is monotheistic and stresses the equality of all men and women. Sikhs believe in three basic principles; meditating on the name of God (praying), earning a living by honest means as well as sharing the fruits of one’s labor with others. Sikhism rejects caste and class systems and emphasizes service to humanity.
Sikhism, founded 500 years ago, is the fifth-largest religion in the world with more than 20 million followers. Started in Western Punjab, India, the Sikh faith formed in constant contact with Hindus and Muslims. However, Sikhism respectfully adopts elements of both, such as the idea of one god and reincarnation. It also rejects other aspects, suhch as blind rituals and any form of inequality. Not only does this eliminate the caste system, a stratification of society in India with certain groups outranking others, but it guarantees equality between men and women. They follow the teachings of ten gurus, compiled into their Holy Book the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
Sufism - Sufism is a branch of the Islamic religion that emphasizes mysticism. The term mysticism refers to a tendency found within numerous world religions in which practitioners attempt to attain closer spiritual proximity to the divine and, at least temporarily, transcend the everyday world. Within Sufi traditions, meditation and prayer frequently take the form of singing, dancing, poetry, or other forms of artistic expression. Sufi mystical traditions often accentuate notions of rapture, ecstasy, and intoxication.
Sufism, mystical Islamic belief and practice in which Muslims seek to find the truth of divine love and knowledge through direct personal experience of God. It consists of a variety of mystical paths that are designed to ascertain the nature of humanity and of God and to facilitate the experience of the presence of divine love and wisdom in the world.Islamic mysticism is called taṣawwuf (literally, “to dress in wool”) in Arabic, but it has been called Sufism in Western languages since the early 19th century. An abstract word, Sufism derives from the Arabic term for a mystic, ṣūfī, which is in turn derived from ṣūf, “wool,” plausibly a reference to the woollen garment of early Islamic ascetics.
