Sufism is known as the mystic branch of Islam, one of the oldest religious currents in the Muslim world. Over time the followers of Sufism saw their relationship with Allah, Islam and involvement in politics differently. They not only questioned the role of asceticism and materialism, sharia and different interpretations of the Qur’an, but became involved in the political struggle. The most eloquent example is that of the role of Sufi brotherhoods in West Africa in the anti-colonial struggle and the transformation of their speech into a radical one, starting from its nodal point, justice.
