Ascetic put in special university at Falkland Islands (4)
I believe the answer is:
sufi
'ascetic' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Islamic ascetic' mean 'sufi' so perhaps 'ascetic' could also mean 'sufi')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sufi that I've seen before include "Moslem mystic" , "Muslim inclined to mysticism" , "Islamic ascetic" , "Muslim mystic" .)
