- Some people who see Sufism taught by a Muslim, preaching in the mosque, naturally call it a branch of Islam; but they do not know that the seed which is found in the fruit was in its origin the root of that same plant.
- Those who see it in the garb of Hinduism, say it is derived from Hinduism.
- Those who see its resemblance to Buddhism, say that its origin is Buddhism.
- Now the message of Sufism is being proclaimed in the West where the people are mostly Christian, and as it is given to suit the faith, belief, customs, and manners of the inhabitants, a person who does not know the real idea of Sufism may say that this is a new sect of Christianity.
