Sufism is a Muslim mystical tradition, whose adherents have the goal of becoming closer to God.

Practitioners are called Sufis or dervishes. The etymological origin of Sufism is not clear but it may be related to wisdom (Greek: sophia), wool, or purity.[1] Sufism has many parallel beliefs alongside different religions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, as well as Greek concepts.
