Sharifism is a religious term that refers to the religious and social principles of Muslims who are descendants of the Prophet Muhammad.
Okay, imagine you have a really special grandfather who you and your family love a lot. Now, imagine that your grandfather was one of the most important people in the world, kind of like a king or a president.
Well, Sharifism is a group of people who believe that they are the descendants of this really special grandfather - the Prophet Muhammad, who they think is one of the most important people in the world.
Because of this special connection, Sharifism has certain religious and social principles that they follow to show their devotion to their ancestor. They pray in a certain way, wear certain clothes, and have their own special customs and traditions.
Overall, Sharifism is like a big family tree with lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who share a very special bond because of their ancestor, the Prophet Muhammad.
