Abstract
Tasawwuf, known as ＂Sufism＂ in Western academic literatures, has also been commonly taken as Mysticism in Islamic tradition by the researchers. Nevertheless, mysticism is often understood hastily in Chinese language with what should be Occultism, which in turn prevents a clear understanding of Tasawwuf and clouds it with more controversies. There had been much effort put into translating and introducing the nature of Mysticism as well as Tasawwuf. Building upon such great works and comparing the different definitions of Mysticism by William James, W. T. Stace and John Macquarrie, this paper is dedicated to clarifying and identifying that Tasawwuf is indeed a path enlightening profound spiritual wisdom and leading to eminent spiritual satisfaction through experiencing Mystical States.
