dervish The Sufi are the mystics of Islam. They follow an ascetic lifestyle in search of the truth and some believe in the possibility of obtaining a mystical union with God through ritual dancing, music, or meditation. Sufis believe that Allah reveals himself to individuals on a personal level.

There were many female mystics of Islam including Rabi'a of Basra. Little is known for sure about Rabi'a al -'Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya (known as Rabi'a of Basra), revered as one of the earliest and greatest Sufi mystic ascetics in Islam.

Muslim ascetics, like all Muslims, believe that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God. They are monotheists and believe in the Qur'an.
