Noorbakhshia or Nurbakhshia (Persian: نوربخشیه) is a distinct sect that places significant emphasis on the concept of Muslim unity and on "Fiqh ul Ahwat" (which delves into Islamic jurisprudence), a concept by Muhammad Nurbakhshi.

The Nurbakhshia tradition is distinguished by its spiritual lineage known as the Silsila-e-Zahab, or Golden Chain. This spiritual lineage claims to trace its origins back to the Imam Haqiqi (Divinely Appointed 12 Imams), spanning from Imam Ali to Imam Mahdi. Notably, Noorbakhshia stands out among Sufi orders within Shia Islam for its foundational principles deeply rooted in the teachings of the Aima Tahirreen, or Fourteen Infallibles. The followers of this lineage are known as Noorbakhshia. The current leader of the order is Syed Muhammad Shah Noorani based in Khaplu, Baltistan.
