Seyyid Fehim-i Arvasi (1825-1895) was one of the great Naqshbandi-Khalidi scholars and saints of Eastern Anatolia, regarded as the thirty-third link in the chain of saints (silsila). Born in 1825 in the village of Arvas (today Doğanyayla) in the Bahçesaray (Müküs) district of Van, he was initiated by Taha al-Hakkari. He died in the same village in 1895; his grandson and successor was Seyyid Abdülhakim Arvasi. His grave lies in Arvas (Doğanyayla) and is visited by his devotees.
