Sufism has developed as an ascetic tradition in the Umayyads period. However we know little about the earliest appearance of ascetic tendencies in Islam. Later, Ali has been acclaimed as the father of sufism and most of the sufi orders claimed their descent from Ali. According to sufis Ali got his knowledge from the Prophet. On the other hand, until Gazzali’s time there was only a few narrations in sufi texts about Ali’s high rank.
