2.Sufis are the followers of Prophet Muhammad and also "pir"(guru) who would lead them to the right path.Muslims,on the other hand,believe in the ideals of Prophet Muhammad,the founder of Islam.
3.Sufism gives more importance to the achievement of spiritualism and insisted people to keep away from greed like Buddhism.But, Islam does not put significance on these aspects.
