The aim of the study discussed in this article is to identify and map the various forms of Sufism that have arisen in urban areas during modern times. While Sufism has traditionally been associated with rural areas and perceived as traditional and backward, new movements have emerged in metropolitan cities that seek to attain closeness to God through Sufism. A literature review was conducted to gather information related to this topic, including indepth studies of established forms of Sufism such as Tariqah, as well as institutionalized Sufism that is organized by educational institutions, religious foundations, and community organizations. The researcher found that there are three typologies of Sufism that have developed in urban areas: orthodox Tariqah, marginal Tariqah, and modern Sufi fellowship.
