The Ishq-Nuri Tariqa, or Ishq-Nuri Sufi Order, is a branch or offshoot of the older Chishtiyya Sufi order, founded by Khwaja Khalid Mahmood Siddiqui al-Chishti in Lahore, Pakistan in the late 1960s. It centers its teachings on ishq, or divine love, as the essential basis of spiritual practice, drawing on the teachings of earlier Chishti masters including Moinuddin Chishti, Baba Farid and Rumi, and is now practiced mainly across Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, with an emerging presence in Europe and the Middle East.

Almost all traditional Sufi orders trace their "chains of transmission" back to the Prophet via his cousin and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib (except the Naqshbandi order which traces its origin to caliph Abu Bakr ).
