While not implying that no other ways may exist, it does emphasize that Sufism is a better way. What made the Sufi Brotherhoods historically one of the main mechanisms for the proselytizing of Islam (all forms) abroad? Sufis traveled along the Silk Road and Saharan trade routes, ministering and preaching to communities along the way. The Sufis were kicked out of most areas because of their extreme beliefs and so their movements spread abroad quicker.

The Sufis had more opportunities to proselytize because of their wealth and privilege in the courts of the Islamic rulers and so came into contact with foreigner diplomats that way. The primary influence of Sufism was to show itself too learned and holy for general population, but nevertheless that Islam was worth embracing. Trick Question, the Sufis had little to do with the spread of Islam. Question 6 3 / 3 pts What is the difference between a “sober” and “intoxicated” Sufi?
