Sufism
Sufism is mysticism so it has traits in common with Gnosticism. They believe that with right understanding and right practice, knowledge of God is available now. God can not be limited, and presents this unlimited nature by having all limitations in its power, and also transcending them all. In Sufism, simple acceptance of doctrine is not seen as adequate. They believe that doctrine must be put into practice, and being able to recite prayers is not enough. You must understand the prayers.
