Abstract
Sufism is a doctrine in Islam that guides man to spiritual and moral perfection. Scholars have expressed different opinions and assumptions about the origin and meaning of the word mysticism. Among them, Ibn Khaldun's opinion is considered to be close to the truth. It must have been derived from the Sufi word "suf" - "wool", "fur", because in ancient times the ascetics of the world were accustomed to wearing woolen garments or fur, thus showing a different way of life from the worlds of luxury
