<![CDATA[The development of digital technology has given rise to a new phenomenon in religious life known as digital religion, in which religious practices are no longer confined to physical spaces but also take place in virtual ones. This transformation offers new opportunities for believers to deepen their spirituality; however, it also poses serious challenges to mental health due to excessive information exposure, social comparison culture, and digital anxiety. In this context, contemporary Sufism offers a relevant spiritual paradigm for cultivating inner peace through practices of dhikr (remembrance of God), contemplation, and divine mindfulness (muraqabah), which are now being adapted into digital forms—such as online dhikr gatherings, Sufi meditation apps, and the dissemination of Sufi teachings through social media. This study aims to analyze the role of contemporary Sufism as a form of spiritual coping in addressing the psychological pressures of the digital era. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature review, this paper finds that digital Sufi practices can function as a form of spiritual therapy that fosters tranquility, reduces stress levels, and strengthens a sense of connectedness with God and others. The findings affirm that the integration between digital religion and contemporary Sufism not only broadens religious expression but also presents a new model of spiritual-based mental health maintenance.]]>
