Abdullah ad-Daghistani

Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghistani[1] (Arabic: عبد الله الفائز الداغستاني), was the 39th Shaykh in the Naqshbandi Haqqani Silsila.

[3] They settled in the northwestern Anatolian city of Bursa and after a year moved to the village of Reşadiye, now known as Güneyköy, in Yalova Province, Turkey.

The new village was established on land granted by the sultan and was populated by Daghistani refugees affected by the War of '93 and the uprising against the Russian Empire.

After the death of Shaykh Sharafuddin in 1936, a delegation came to Rashadiya (Reşadiye) from King Farouk to pay their condolences, as he had many followers in Egypt.

Shaykh Abdullah and the family then moved to Egypt, though they would remain there for only half a year as the marriage soon ended in divorce.

He resided for a time in Aleppo, moved to Homs and then finally to Damascus near the tomb of saint Sa'd ad-Din Jibawi.
