Sufism is not a separate branch of Islam but rather a mystical dimension within Islam that emphasizes personal experience of the divine and the pursuit of spiritual closeness to God. Sufis can be found across both Sunni and Shia traditions, engaging in practices such as meditation, chanting, and poetry to cultivate a deeper spiritual connection. While Sufism is widely respected, it has also faced criticism and opposition from some orthodox Islamic groups that view certain practices as unorthodox.
