Sheikh Hasan

Sheikh Hasan ( kurmanji Şêx Hesen , Arabic الحسن بن عدي DMG al-Hasan ibn 'Adī , also Sheikh Sin , born: 1195, died: 1246) was the great-great-nephew of Sheikh Adi and the great-grandson of Sheikh Adi's brother Sheikh Sahr . He was the fourth leader of the Adawiyya order and is considered a sacred figure in the Yazidis' faith.

Life

Sheikh Hasan was a Yezidi chief in the 13th century and the son of ʿAdī ibn Abī ʿl-Barakāt . When the governor of Mosul Badr ad-Din Lulu increased the taxes, sheikh Hasan and Badr ad-Din Lulu disputed. Thereupon Badr ad-Din Lulu had Sheikh Hasan executed and then committed a massacre of the Yazidis in the Lalisch Valley. The descendant and son of Sheikh Hasan was Sheikh Sharaf ad-Din (Şerfedîn).

Adoration by the Yazidis

Sheikh Hasan is venerated as a saint in the sacred texts of the Yazidis. Sheikh Fekhredin wrote two qewls in honor of Sheikh Hasan . The Yazidis pay homage to Sheikh Hasan as sultan in the following qewl:

Verse 3 verse 1: "Şêxê Hesenî Seyide, î Seyide, Seyide."
