How Do Bahá’í Faith and Sufism Converge and Diverge?

The Bahá’í Faith and Sufism converge through mystical elements, as seen in Bahá’u’lláh’s *The Seven Valleys*, which reflects Sufi influence. However, they diverge in their approach to monasticism; Bahá’u’lláh forbids it, advocating for spiritual engagement in the world, emphasizing service and community over withdrawal.
