The '''Nooran Sisters''' – '''Jyoti Nooran''' and '''Sultana Nooran''' – are a [[Sufism|Sufi]] singing duo from [[Jalandhar]], [[India]]. They perform [[Sham Chaurasia gharana]] [[classical music]].

The sisters were trained from early childhood by their father, Ustad Gulshan Mir, grandson of Bibi Nooran and son of [[Swarn Nooran]], a Sufi singer of the 1970s. According to Mir, the family was on hard times and Mir gave music lessons to support them.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/highway-to-fame/|title=Highway to Fame|work=India Express|date=29 January 2014|access-date=25 September 2017}}</ref>

When Sultana Nooran was seven and Jyoti Nooran was five, Mir discovered their talent while they were playing at home and singing a [[Bulleh Shah]] ''kalam'' they had heard from their grandmother, 'kulli vichon ni yaar lab lai'. Mir asked them if they can sing it with instruments. They didn't miss a beat and sang professionally with ''[[tabla]]'' and harmonium. Iqbal Mahal, a [[Canada|Canadian]] music promoter, discovered the sisters in 2010, and played a big role in their success. In 2013, they performed at Baba Murad Shah Dargah in Nakodar for the first time, and they became very popular from that night. Their song "''Allah Hoo"'' was a [[YouTube]] hit. After that, songs such as "''mae yaar da diwana''" and ''"patakha guddi"'' played an important role in boosting the duo's popularity. They have many songs in Bollywood movies.
==Career==
They performed at the 72nd [[birthday]] party of late [[Ghazal]] maestro Jagjit Singh at Harpal Tiwana Center of Performing Arts (HTCPA), and spellbound [[Patiala]], [[Punjab, India]] residents with their talent. They shot to fame with the MTV Talent hunt series in India [[MTV Sound Trippin]], with their song "Tung Tung", and later, with ''MTV Unplugged'' and ''Coke Studio''.
