Touching on certain aspects and elements that make up civilisation and using relevant sources, the paper indicates that tasawwuf left a great impression on Islamic civilisation, and that it is an inevitable element among those elements that have shaped Islamic civilisation for centuries and contributed to it as we know it today. Economy, politics, sciense and art, which are reffered as the material elements that make up civilizations, derive their values from the religion on which it is based as well as its spiritual and moral values. Tasawwuf, as a school of spirituality and morality, had a positive impact on the shaping of Islamic civilisation. Futuwwat and akhiyya, or guilds, who were, inter-alia, the followers of Tesawwuf schools, tariqats, influenced the economy through their crafts and trade, which is not often highlighted. The Sufis, although this is also not discussed much in bosnian/croatian /serbian/montenegrian literature, well participated in wars and thus took part in social and political life. Additionaly, they have contributed, with their nice behavior, to many peoples accepting Islam, as is the case with the peoples of the Malay Archipelago, Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. If we go back to the 18th and 19th centuries, the period in which the foundations for renewal and reform were laid, we will observe many movements for the renewal and liberation of Muslim countries from colonialist forces were actually movements founded by Sufis. The contribution of Tasawwuf to Islamic civilisation is significant and worthy of scientific attention.
