A leading Naqshbandi-Khalidi sheikh and successor of Ahmad al-Khaznawi (1902-1972). Born in Baykan, Siirt, he bore the nisba 'al-Husayni' for his descent from Husayn and 'Gawth of Bilvanis' for his residence in Bilvanis village. In his final years he settled in Menzil village of Kâhta, Adıyaman. He died on 25 May 1972 and was buried in Menzil, his tomb forming the heart of the Menzil pilgrimage complex.
