Seyyid Sheikh Ahmet was a Naqshbandi-Khalidi Sufi born in 1815 in Göltepesi (Çan) village, Bingöl. He studied at the madrasa of Sheikh Ali Septî al-Palawî and received ijaza in the Naqshbandi order, training many disciples. He died around 1884/1885. His tomb in the village cemetery north of Göltepesi is among the most visited shrines in Bingöl; registered as a cultural asset.
