this word is derived from the last part of the Greek word "suf", that is, philosopher. But many 
believe that the word Sufi is derived from the Arabic word "word". The literal meaning of the 
word "word" is wool and cloth woven from wool. Because Sufis used to wear woolen cloaks 
or furs woven from sheepskin in many cases, they were called woolen clothes (Persian 
pashminaposh), i.e. Sufi. In our opinion, the following etymological meaning is closer to the 
truth, because the word Sufi is formed from the word "suf" in accordance with the rules of 
the Arabic language. 
The end of the 13th century - the beginning of the 14th century is a particularly 
productive period in the history of Sufism. By this time, Sufism had reached its peak both 
from a theoretical-scientific point of view and from the point of view of practical activity. The 
flowering of Sufism literature also coincides with this period. Especially such intellectual 
sheikhs as Najmuddin Kubra (1145-1221), Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (1165-1240), Yahya 
Suhrawardi (1155-1191), Fariduddin Attar (d. 1220), Ahmad Yassavi (d. 1166), Jalaluddin 
Rumi (1207
–1273) great Sufi poets expanded the scope of Sufism, enriched it with 
philosophy and wisdom. If in the 9th-11th centuries, great attention was paid to the 
deepening of the foundations of monotheism, and the concepts of Sufism, such as death 
and survival, and the desire to be the source of truth, were vigorously propagated, then from 
the middle of the 13th century, the intellectual-ethical direction began to lead. This 
philosophical current became famous in the history of Sufism under the name "vahdatul 
vujud". Sufis are now confused with the structure of the universe, the characteristics of 
people, the relationship between the universe and man, and the meaning of the perfect 
human being. As a result, a whole philosophical system found its expression in the works of 
people like Ibn Arabi and Jalaluddin Rumi, who expressed many wonderful ideas about real 
human life, along with divine discoveries, spiritual and psychological states, and inner 
pleasures. Thus, Sufism included many centuries of Eastern intellectual development 
experiences and developed it, united the sciences of religion and philosophy, wisdom and 
unity, speech and hadith, tried to connect theological sciences with worldly sciences. As a 
result, Sufism has become a phenomenon that defines the way of thinking and moral norms 
of the people of the East.
