NonSufi

NonSufi is a term used to describe individuals or groups who do not adhere to or identify with Sufism. Sufism is the mystical dimension of Islam, characterized by its emphasis on introspection, spiritual development, and the direct experience of God. Followers of Sufism, known as Sufis or darvishes, often engage in practices such as meditation, chanting, and asceticism to achieve spiritual enlightenment.

Therefore, a non-Sufi would be anyone who does not follow these specific mystical traditions within Islam. This encompasses a vast majority of Muslims who may identify with other schools of Islamic jurisprudence, theology, or political thought without engaging in Sufi practices. It can also include individuals who are interested in Islamic culture or history but do not consider themselves spiritual practitioners of Sufism. The term is broad and simply signifies an absence of affiliation with Sufi orders or beliefs. It does not imply any opposition to Sufism, but rather a lack of participation in its specific spiritual path.
