The order (ṭarīqa) of Nurbakhshia emerged in the Timurid era and was one of the most important Ṣūfi order in Iran on the eve of the establishing the Safavid government. Therefore, the relationship between the Safavid government and this order was one of the important matters in the first decades of the Safavid period. Having used historical-analytical method, the paper is going to answer the question, how was the interaction and confrontation between the Safavid government and the Nurbakhshia order? The findings of this research show that the Shīʿism of Nurbakhshia and their being Siyāda the way for the convergence of Nurbakhshia and Safavid. But Sayyid Muhammad Nurbakhsh's claim of Mahdism, the wearing of Nurbakhshia in black and their economic and social position caused confrontation between them. This confrontation led to the murder of Shah Qavam al-Din and the isolation of his children. Since the period of Shah Abbas I, under the influence of the anti-Ṣūfi milieu that continued until the collapse of the Safavid, Nurbakhshia as other Sufi orders were isolated and gradually disappeared from the scene of history.
