The Islamic mystical tradition has incredible intellectual depth and involves very practical and direct practices such as Zikir (meditative prayer), Fikr (silent meditation), Muraqaba (mystic observation), the Fakir (ascetic tradition), and more ideas and practices than I can list here.

The Sufis largely preserve the mystical tradition and this intellectual and spiritual cultivation of a personal relationship with God was instrumental to the successful and peaceful propagation of Islam to Southeast Asia.

The Islamic mystical tradition is not vague in nature and is centered aroud prayer, fasting, meditation, asceticism, and study with reverence for God and His holy authority. The centers of such practices are zawiyas, Islamic monasteries inhabited by orders of ascetics. Here is one such lodge in Bosnia and Herzegovina, situated by flowing water much like Christian and Buddhist monasteries.

For intellectuals, the Islamic mystical tradition provides rich intellectual depth. Islam itself is a very intellectual religion that requires memorization of Surahs (Koran chapters) to even pray correctly. Then there are countless books of Sunnah and Hadith, Tafsir (commentary), books and journals of Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic history and mystical texts, and so on and so forth.
