| has gloss | eng: Shaykh Fakhr ad-Dīn ibn al-Hasan, known also by the Kurdish name Şêx Fexreddin, was a descendant of Umayyad Caliph Marwan ibn al-Hakam. He was the son and religious heir of al-Hasan ibn ‘Adī after the death of al-Hasans son. Şêx Fexreddin was the seventh and last known ‘Adawī shaykh, leaving the Lalish area (and the historical record) for the Kurdish-founded Ayyubid Egypt in 1276. Life Şêx Fexreddins life was unusual for several reasons. Unlike his predecessors, he was on good standing with the Mongols, who had been responsible for the death of his two immediate predecessors. He also succeeded his nephew rather than his father. Additionally, he was the first ‘Adawī leader to face internecine rivalry: in 1275, Şêx Fexreddin's brother Shemseddin revolted and attempted to seize power from him. |
