Some Orientalists as well as Muslim scholars are said to believe that Christian monasticism was a source of Sufism in Islam. According to scholars such as Zaki Mubarak in Egypt, Muslims considered the doctrines of Jesus the Christ as their instructions and guidelines in spiritual practices. They were familiar with the Gospel, and evidence from the Christian scripture can be found in Islamic work such as Ibn Qutayba’s 'Uyun al-akhbar as well as al-Ghazali’s al-Ihya'. Also, Christians who enter the church carrying a book of supplications are assimilated to Sufis who enter mosques carrying books of dhikrs. | Some Orientalists as well as Muslim scholars are said to believe that Christian monasticism was a source of Sufism in Islam.
