Shaykh ʿAdī b. Musāfir al-Hakkārī (d. c.557/1162) was an Arab ascetic of Umayyad descent who settled in the Kurdish mountains of Iraq around 505/1111, founded the ʿAdawiyya ṭarīqa (Ṣūfī order, lit. “way”), and became the central, highly venerated figure of the Kurdish Yazīdiyya. The Yazīdīs are a religious sect found in parts of Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Armenia, the Caucasus, and Iran. Their religion is a combination of Zoroastrian, Manichaean, Jewish, Nestorian Christian, and Islamic elements. They claim to be descended from supporters of the Umayyad caliph
