The Sheikhs of Tavil, is a Middle Eastern (Kurdish) household, which can be traced back to the 7th century.[1][2] They were given the title “Sheikh”. In this case, used when denoting a leader of a community.
Social Status and Political ties
The sheikhs of Tavil established relationships with the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. Because of their influence of their region in the Northern part of Iraq (Kurdistan), they had a vast number of followers. They provided military support for the Ottoman sultans.[3][4] An example of this was during the ongoing war between Ottoman-Russia, where the Sheikhs of Tavil has sent thousands of people.[5]
The Sheikhs of Tavil gained recognition through the Ottoman Empire and Iranian Empire (present-day Iraq and Iraq).[6] The authority of the family was invariably exercised actively in the interests of law and order. They supported and promoted moral excellence, planted hundreds of trees, cultivated gardens, and banned the cutting of trees across their lands.[7]
Cecil John Edmonds, with the British intelligence at the time, explains in his book:[7]
For the former, I conceived great respect, for their moral authority was invariably exercised actively in the interests of law and order. They were respected for their vast knowledge and high ethical principles ... showed how wide the influence of these Siraj-ud-Din sheikhs, who had the position of the Popes in Europe; It was not uncommon for the disciple to travel 650 kilometers to gain the privilege of kissing the hand of their guide.
