The prevalence of urban spiritualism is on the rise among residents of major cities. One observable manifestation of urban spiritualism is the growing number of diverse social recitation gatherings. The present research looks into four distinct profiles of assemblies that have emerged in the urban areas of Yogyakarta and Surakarta. The four assemblies comprise Muslim United and Teras Dakwah. In Surakarta, it is worth noting the presence of two prominent organisations, namely Majelis Ar-Raudhah, established by Habib Novel Alaydrus, and Majelis Busytanul Asyiqin, founded by Habib Syech Assegaf. This study elucidates the techniques employed by the aforementioned four assemblies to disseminate moderate religious knowledge within urban circles, as well as their respective reactions to the evolving spiritual dynamics observed within urban communities. The present study employs a qualitative methodology, specifically a field study approach. The findings of this study suggest a shift in the dominance of religious authority among renowned ustadz and habaib figures. By endorsing the dissemination of widely recognised da’wah conducted by these prominent individuals, it contributes to the enhancement of religious literacy among urban populations. The study findings also interpret the santrinisation and piety activities observed in urban communities as a tangible expression of the veracity of religious teachings.
