A Mevlevî sheikh, one of the postnişins (heads) of the Urfa Mevlevîhâne. The sources name him, together with Hüseyin Paşa the governor of Raqqa, as founder/first head of the Urfa Mevlevîhâne established in 1728-29 (1141). The Urfa Culture Atlas records that after his death he was buried in the semahane of the Mevlevîhâne, where his tomb stands. His date of death is not known with certainty and is placed in the mid-18th century (around the 1740s).
