Just like a Jew - 'Abdullaah ibn Saba' - founded the Shia sect, there was a Christian who founded the Sufi sect. Does anyone know the name of this Christian?

BaarakAllaahu fikum.



Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk  

If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.

  Perhaps the following article would help inshaa-Allaah:
