Sufism originated in Iraq as a mystical path within Islam. It is considered a branch of Islam that emphasizes spiritual experience over strict legalism. The divine figure worshipped in Sufism is the Prophet Muhammad. Sufism developed over phases, starting as a tendency of asceticism and becoming a form of mystical pantheism. Key Sufi concepts include stages of spiritual journey, dhikr or remembrance of God, and Sama or ritual dance. Sufism influenced Indian Islam through orders like Chishti, Qadri, and Naqs
