Sufism (Arabic: تصوّف‎ - taṣawwuf, vuh vuh Russian Суфи́зм, Persian: صوفی‌گری, sufigari, Turkish: tasavvuf), is the inner or mystical dimension of Islam.[1] A practitioner of this tradition is generally known as a Sūfī (Arabic: صُوفِيّ‎), though some senior members of the tradition reserve this term for those practitioners who have attained the goals of the Sufi tradition. Another common denomination is the word dervish.
