A sālik is a follower of Sufism, from the verb salaka which means to travel or follow, related to sulūk "pathway". Sulūk here specifically refers to a spiritual path, i.e. the combination of the two "paths" that can be followed in religion, the exoteric path or shariah, and the esoteric path or haqiqa.
The "path" metaphor is derived from the Qur'an: see sura 16,, ayat 69: A sālik is also called murid when one becomes a disciple to one particular spiritual teacher (murshid) or a Sufi master.
