Satu hal yang unik bagi komunitas sufi di kota-kota metropolitan di Indonesia adalah bahwa penganutnya tidak hanya Muslim tetapi juga non-Muslim. Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti bermaksud untuk menguji keberadaan komunitas sufi di lingkungan masyarakat perkotaan, peneliti juga meneliti nilai-nilai estetika sufisme yang merupakan daya tarik masyarakat perkotaan untuk mengikuti ajaran sufi, dan peneliti melakukan penelitian tentang solidaritas komunitas yang dibentuk di komunitas perkotaan di Indonesia. Lokasi penelitian ini adalah di ibu kota Indonesia, Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis metode penelitian fenomenologis (kualitatif). Penggalian data lapangan menggunakan teknik wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa ajaran sufisme masih ada di masyarakat perkotaan yang berada di tengah-tengah kehidupan kota metropolitan Jakarta, Indonesia. Komunitas sufi yang mengajarkan ajaran sufisme dapat diterima oleh sebagian besar komunitas perkotaan. Salah satu faktor pendorong yang membuat masyarakat urban mempelajari ajaran sufisme adalah nilai estetika sufisme, di samping itu ajaran sufisme dibangun dalam menciptakan solidaritas komunitas di antara masyarakat perkotaan yang sangat heterogen dalam latar belakang sosial budaya mereka. Nilai-nilai estetika sufisme dapat diperoleh oleh penganutnya melalui berbagai kegiatan religiusitas (dzikir, sholat, khotbah, shalawat, dll.) dan seni sufism (musik, lagu, tarian, kreativitas fasion atau busana, dll).</p><p> </p><p>Kata kunci: Sufisme, Estetika, paguyuban, Circle of Friends, Komunitas Kota.</p>
