SUFISM IS, ACCORDING TO ITS ADHERENTS, THE INNER, MYSTICAL DIMENSION OF ISLAM. A PRACTITIONER OF THIS TRADITION IS GENERALLY KNOWN AS A SUFI, THOUGH SOME ADHERENTS OF THE TRADITION RESERVE THIS TERM ONLY FOR THOSE PRACTITIONERS WHO HAVE ATTAINED THE GOALS OF THE SUFI TRADITION. ANOTHER NAME USED FOR THE SUFI SEEKER IS DERVISH.
