Tasawuf or Sufism is one form of mysticism, specifically mysticism in an Islamic context. There are other forms of mysticism such as the Jewish Kabbalah, the Christian Gnosticism, and the Hindu Inner Path.

Mysticism and Tasawwuf (Sufism) share similarities but are not identical. Mysticism is a broader term that refers to the pursuit of spiritual experiences and direct encounters with the divine, while Tasawwuf specifically refers to the Islamic mystical tradition that focuses on seeking intimacy with God, self-purification, and achieving higher spiritual states. Tasawwuf is deeply rooted in Islamic beliefs and practices.

Are Sufism and Baha'i the same?

No, they are different. Sufism is an Islamic tradition of religious mysticism, beginning in the first centuries of Islam, while the Bahai Faith is a religion, founded in Iran in the 19th century. There are wikipedia pages for both of them. Having said that, Sufism and Bahai mysticism, and Christian mysticism, and Jewish mysticism, have a lot in common. Mysticism is a "common place" where the religions meet, at least to some degree
