​One of the teaching tools of the Sufi Master is the art of storytelling with a moral. Depicted here is one of the moments when a Master imparts knowledge through storytelling.

Sufism is the Western term for the mystical proponents of the Islamic faith. Sufi masters seek to find the truth of divine love and knowledge through a direct, personal experience of God. Sufis are not unlike the gurus, swamis, ascetics, professed religious, and monks of other faiths. They have disciples who they lead to a closer relationship with Allah through various paths. Not all Muslims claim Sufis as a part of the Islamic faith, but all Sufis claim themselves as being Muslim.
