Detailed explanation-1: -According to the late medieval mystic Jami, Abd-Allah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah (died c. 716) was the first person to be called a “Sufi".
Detailed explanation-2: -Sufism started in India during the 11th and 12th centuries. This happened when Sufi saints arrived in India, especially in Lahore and Multan of the Indian subcontinent. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a disciple of Khwaja Osman Haruni, introduced this order to India while propounding it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sufism, known as tasawwuf in the Arabic-speaking world, is a form of Islamic mysticism that emphasizes introspection and spiritual closeness with God. While it is sometimes misunderstood as a sect of Islam, it is actually a broader style of worship that transcends sects, directing followers’ attention inward.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sufism originated after the death of Mohammed in 632, but it did not develop into orders until the 12th Century. The orders were formed around spiritual founders, who gained saint status and shrines built in their names. There are dozens of Sufi orders and offshoots.
