Background
The name 'Sufi' comes from Sáf which means pure in Arabic. It is a name that was given to them by others not one that they gave themselves. Sufism, rightly understood, is truly a spiritual doctrine of freedom and light.
Sufism is practiced around the world by millions of Muslims in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and China.
