Biography
Xasî was born in the 1866 or 1867 in the village of Hêzan (Xas) near Lice which was part of the Ottoman Empire. He was from the Xas tribe and his family stemmed from Bingöl.[4] He received his education in a madrasa taught under a Molla Hasan and later moved to Diyarbakır where he was taught by Molla Mustafa Hatib and later Mufti İbrahim Efendi at the Great Mosque of Diyarbakır. From around 1911, he served in different administrative positions; first as the Müderris of Diyarbakir and thereafter transferred to his home village where he remained as a Müderris. After staying there for a while, he was appointed Mufti of Lice, a position he remained at for two years. By the time he resigned as Mufti, his influence spread from Bingöl to Siverek.[5]
He was a staunch opponent of the Committee of Union and Progress and was exiled to Rhodes in March 1909. He would be released by Mehmed V.[6] During this period, Xasî had many arguments with Turkish nationalist Ziya Gökalp.[1]
Xasî spoke Zaza, Kurmanji Kurdish, Turkish, Arabic and Persian.[6] Most of his works were burned by his grandson after the 1971 Turkish military memorandum.[1]

Xasî wrote his main work Mewlîdu'n-Nebîyyî'l-Qureyşîyyî in 1899 and about 400 copies were printed in 1900. The mawlid had 14 chapters and 366 couplets.[7]
