Abstract

The term neo-Sufism was coined by Fazl ur Rahman in 1966 to describe reform movements among Sufi orders (turuq, singular tariqa) of the 18th and 19th centuries. More recently, the term neo-Sufism has been applied to certain 20th-and 21st-century Sufi-inspired groups in the West as well as to movements in Muslim-majority countries among the globally engaged middle and upper classes.
