Abdulhakim Arvasi

Abdulhâkim Arvâsî (Üçışık) or Sayyeed Abd al Haqeem-i Arvasi (1865–1943) was a Sunni Kurdish Islamic scholar of Arab origin.

[1] Arvasi lived in the times of the late Ottoman Empire and the early Republic of Turkey.

Arvasi was a descendant of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, and hence he had the title sayyed before his name.

He received religious education from the famous scholar and walî Seyyid Fehim-i Arvasi.

Arvasi taught in Van for 30 years after which he moved to Istanbul as the Russian Army had invaded the eastern part of the country.
