Zahediyeh

Zahediyeh

The Zahediyeh Sufi Order was founded by Sheikh Zahed Gilani (Zahid Guilani) of Lahijan. As a precursor to the Safaviyeh Order, which was yet to culminate in the Safavid Dynasty, the Zahediyeh Order and its Murshid, Sheikh Zahed Gilani, reserve a distinct place in the history of Iran.

The Turkish Bayrami and Jelveti orders are derived from him.
