Sheikh Said (Kurdish: شێخ سەید, romanized: Şêx Seîd; 1865 – 29 June 1925) was a Zaza Kurd[1][2][3] religious leader, one of the leading sheikhs of the Naqshbandi-Khalidiyya and the head of the Sheikh Said rebellion.[4][5][6]
He was born in 1865 in Palu to an influential family from the Naqshbandi order, where his grandfather was an influential sheikh.[7] Sheikh Said studied religious sciences at the madrasa led by his father Sheikh Mahmud Fevzi as well from several Islamic scholars in the region.[8] Later he was involved in the local tekke set up by his grandfather Sheikh Ali.[7] His grandfather was a respected leader of the religious community and his grave was visited by thousands of pilgrims. He became the head of the religious community after his father Sheikh Mahmud died. In 1907 he toured the neighboring provinces in the east and he established contacts with officers from the Hamidiye cavalry.[7]
