Abstract
Sufism is a phenomenon that arose from the middle of the 8th century due to several religious, socio-economic, political, ideological and ideological reasons. The somewhat limited thinking about metaphysical phenomena in traditional Islamic thought has prompted many foreign researchers to look for the roots of these teachings in other faiths and sources that allow for some superstition.
