Sayyid Taha of Hakkari, a descendant of the Prophet and deputy of Mawlana Khalid al-Baghdadi, spread the Naqshbandi-Khalidi order across Hakkari, Van and the Iranian border region from his lodge in the village of Nehri (today Bağlar) in Şemdinli. Training deputies such as Sayyid Sibghatullah Arvasi and Sayyid Fehim Arvasi, he became the fountainhead of the eastern Anatolian shaykhly tradition. He died in 1269 AH (1853); his tomb at Nehri (Bağlar village, Şemdinli, Hakkari) is one of the region's foremost places of visitation.
