ABSTRACT
Egyptian society under Ottoman rule was, as it had always been, deeply religious. Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam, was an inseparable part of that religiosity; without it the religious, cultural, and social life of the Egyptian people cannot be understood. Sufism was not a separate sect, but a popular movement that reached into every corner of society.
