The 7th and 8th century reflects the era of Sufism and its various sects (Triqats) especially in Anatolia. Considering the status of the different dynamic thoughts, the existence of a common trend with common characteristics, is recognizable in a new trend called” Non- Governmental Urban Sufism”. Enjoying from a simple and understandable literature, this kind of Sufism had much focus on the function rather theory in order to integrate different social classes. Moreover it was built upon the ties between the guilds' strata and city craftsmen. Investigation on the Sufism sects at this era shows that there had been three sects called “Akhyan” , “Bajyan” and “Ghalandaran”. Apart from some issues, the sects appear to have the same originality as Malamatieh thought and “Fottowat” sect and had been so influential in Anatolia at that era.
