Death and Legacy
Sheikh sued for peace and was exiled in southern Iraq in May 1932 and was able to return to his family village in 1941 where he remained the rest of his years. He ultimately died in 1956 with his family. He is still remembered today with displays of him around northern Iraq and especially Sulaimaniah. He is a hero to the Kurd people to this day, as he is thought of as a brave leader against the British Mandate in Iraq who fought for the independence and respect of his people. He was the first Muja leader to emerge in the 20th century in Kurdistan and was the pioneer to many future Kurd leaders.
