Sufi beliefs are based firmly in orthodox Islam and the text of the Qur'an, although a few Sufi teachers have strayed too close to monism or pantheism to remain within the orthodox fold.
The core principles of Sufism are tawakkul (absolute trust in God) andtawhid (the truth that there is no deity but God). Tawhid is rich in meaning for mystics: it has been interpreted by some as meaning that nothing truly exists but God or that nature and God are but two aspects of the same reality.
The love of God for man and the love of man for God are also very central to Sufism, and are the subjects of most Islamic mystical poetry and hymns.
