I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ascetic' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Islamic ascetic' mean 'sufi' so perhaps 'ascetic' could also mean 'sufi')

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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
