The Mausoleum of Ma Lichi (1681–1766) - Muride Ma Tai-Baba (1632-1709) and the first Murshid of the Kufiyya in China .
Mursid ( Pers. مرشد, Arabic. مرشد ) - Mentor, teacher. Accepting Sufism begins with the student taking the oath of allegiance to the teacher, the murshid whom he chose. After that, the student is called a murid . The task of the murshid is to teach his novices the path of sufism.
An Islamic theologian, considered to be the predecessor of Sufism, Hasan al-Basri , a younger contemporary of the first caliphs, said: "He who does not have a murshid, that murshid is a shaitan ." Another version of this sentence:
 | the one who has no Ustaz , Ustaz - Satan. [one] |  |
