dervish The Sufi are the mystics of Islam. They follow an ascetic lifestyle in search of the truth and some believe in the possibility of obtaining a mystical union with God through ritual dancing, music, or meditation. Sufis believe that Allah reveals himself to individuals on a personal level.

There were many female mystics of Islam including Rabi'a of Basra. Little is known for sure about Rabi'a al -'Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya (known as Rabi'a of Basra), revered as one of the earliest and greatest Sufi mystic ascetics in Islam.
