Noorbakhshia or Nurbakhshia (Persian: نوربخشیه) is a distinct school of Islamic jurisprudence that places significant emphasis on the concept of Muslim unity. Its doctrinal framework is firmly rooted in core Islamic tenets, including belief in Allah, Angels, Prophets, the Day of Judgment, the Quran, and other sacred Islamic scriptures revealed to preceding Prophets. These fundamental beliefs and practices are elucidated in foundational texts such as "Usool Aitaqadia" (which addresses matters of belief) and "Fiqh ul Ahwat" (which delves into Islamic jurisprudence), authored by Syed Muhammad Nurbakhsh Qahistani.
The Nurbakhshia tradition is distinguished by its unique spiritual lineage known as the Silsila-e-Zahab, or Golden Chain. This spiritual lineage traces 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 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 Sofia Noorbakhshia.
