Ahmad Huseinzadeh (Шаблон:Lang-az) also known as Sheikh Ahmad Salyani[1][2] — third Sheikh ul-Islam of the Caucasus, maternal grandfather of Ali bey Huseynzade.
Early life
He was born in Salyan in 1812 to Ali Huseynzadeh.[3] He was brought up initially from 1822 to 1832 in his hometown by his uncle Akhund Molla Muhammad Hussein.[4] Then he became a student of the Baku mujtahid Akhund Molla Ramazan, and studied with him for another six years, until 1838 when he completed the full course of Arabic sciences.[4]
Career
After graduation he returned to Salyan in 1839 and started teaching various subjects to local children for 6 years. He was later gained higher religious education in Najaf and Tbilisi. He was appointed as Sheikh ul-Islam by Alexander II of Russia after Fazil Iravani's resignation with a monthly pension of 1600 rubles on 15 October 1852. He was appointed as head of Spiritual Council of Transcaucasian Shia Muslims, 5 April 1875. His deputy was Akhund Mustafa Talibzadeh, father of Abdulla Shaig. He was described as a rather liberal thinking cleric by Fatali Akhundzadeh[5] and contributed to Akinchi, first Azerbaijani language newspaper.[3] In his letter to Akhundzadeh in 1862, Yousuf Khan Mostashar al-Dowleh said of Huseinzadeh "I don't even consider him a mullah, but rather a spiritual cleric." Like Akhundzadeh, he was a promoter of Latin alphabet for Azerbaijani, defended the idea that it is not incompatible with Sharia and Islam.[6][3]
He resigned in 1884 and lived in Tbilisi where he died 3 years later.
