Want to know:
Why was Sufi practice instrumental in helping to convert the peoples of Central Asia to Islam? Sufis taught that although Muhammad had originally recited the Qur'an in Arabic, the true Qur'an that existed in the Mind of God was in Turkish.Sufis were doctrinally flexible and so made some concessions to pre-Muslim practices among new converts to Islam. Sufis claimed that meditation would give them supernatural powers that would bring victory.

Sufis were doctrinally rigid, and the harsh warriors of the steppe respected their unbending refusal to make concessions in how new converts practiced Islam.
