Tasawwuf Islamic mysticism, is an ascetic mystical trend in Islam characterized by a distinct life-style, values, ritual practices, doctrines and institutions. Sufism emerged as a distinct ascetic and mystical trend in Islamic piety under the early 'Abbasids at about the same time as similar movements in Syria, Iran and central Asia which, though designated by different names, shared the same world-renouncing, inward-looking and esoteric attitude.
