Bersa-Sheikh (born Ducha; Chechen: Берса-Шайх;[a] c. 1561 – 1623) was an Chechen sheikh and one of the first Islamic preachers in Chechnya who played a major role in the Islamisation of the Chechens of Nakhch-Mokhk (Ichkeria).[1] Bersa-Sheikh was a friend and associate of Termaol Shaykh, one of the preachers of Islam in Chechnya around 1607 (according to another version in 1590).[2]
