A term sufismcan be understand that a person who broadly engaged and keep faith and practice of one divine entity or reality. Sufi saint a person engage himself with his soul and body for God wills and prayers. Such people keep themselves away from the world and social activities. Sufi in early periods read Quran and prays in jungle, on seas and on mountains. the consultation level of Sufi saints focuses with one divine authority. such people usually unaware from people. In Islam when it starts the journey from Makkah and Madina with the instruction of Muhammad PBUH many people decides to leave Arab and spread the knowledge of Islam and people migrate into other parts of the world such as Iran, China, Africa, India, Iraq, etc.. To believes on Sufism is hard as they internal power of soul give them a wisdom, deep thoughts and keen knowledge of the universe. My own personal experience and study of human psychology gives me the direction of examining these Sufis live . I can say that they focus on one point make them strong enough with predict and help many people as they can. Sufis focus on one divine energy or power make them strong. The concept of Sufism do not belong only with Muslims or Islam. I have personally experience with Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Sikhism. There are similarities amongst these people as they focus on nature, believes on one entity, they are purely clean of heart, soul and body. Both concepts of studies i.e. religion and science help me to conclude the Sufis or saints in term of focus on one thing.Deep thoughts, aloness, reciting religious knowledge and observation about this universe give them power to predict, thinking, focusing, and concluding in the right direction. As we people in society busy in our daily lives and compare ourselves with such unique people of this universe. Sufis or saints have greater role in the betterment of this society.These people use their energies for positive work and betterment of the societies and that's why they gain huge respect in everywhere in this world. their main aspect of life to show us the right path of the life and most of us listen us.we can say the God is around us our eyes cannot see.However, Such people make our believes strongly.
