Taj Al-Din Ebrahim ibn Rushan Amir Al-Kurdi Al-Sanjani (or Sinjani; Persian:تاج الدين ابراهيم كردی سنجانی) (1218 – 1301), titled Sheikh Zahed (or Zahid) Gilani, was an Iranian Grandmaster (murshid-i kamil) of the famed Zahediyeh Sufi order at Lahijan.[1][2][3][4][5] He is also known as Sultân-ûl Khalwatiyya[6] and Tadj’ad-Dīn Ebraheem Zāheed al-Geylānī as well.
According to Minorsky and Elwell-Sutton at the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the tomb of Sheikh Zahed is situated a few miles to the south of the town of Lankaran.[7] However, another tomb dedicated to him can be found in Lahijan.
