Sharif Ali Haydar

‘Alī Ḥaydar Pāshā ibn Jābir (Ottoman Turkish: علی حیدر پاشا بن جابر‎; Arabic: علي حيدر باشا‎‎, ‘Alī Ḥaydar Bāshā; April 1866 – 12 May 1935) was an Ottoman politician who served as Emir and Grand Sharif of Mecca from 1916 to 1917 during the Arab Revolt and the First World War.

‘Alī Ḥaydar, the son of Sharif ‘Alī Jābir Pāshā, was born in April 1866 in a yalı belonging to his grandfather, Sharif ‘Abd al-Muttalib, formerly Emir of Mecca, in the Kanlıca neighborhood of Istanbul (Constantinople). He was a member of the Dhawu Zayd, a clan of the Banu Qatada. In 1879 ‘Abd al-Muttalib was appointed Emir of Mecca for the third time and ‘Alī Ḥaydar was sent as a hostage to Istanbul, where he eventually settled in the Çamlıca Hill district. In 1887 he was made a member of the Council of State with the rank of bala.

‘Alī Ḥaydar's first wife was Sabiha Hanım, a Turkish woman. With her he had one daughter, Şerife Nimet Hanım, and three sons. Their eldest son was Sharif Damat Muhammed Abdülmecid Beyefendi, educated in Britain, who married the Ottoman princess Rukiye Sultan, a daughter of Şehzade Mehmed Selaheddin, son of Murad V. Their second son, Şerif Muhiddin Targan, became a musician and married Safiye Ayla. Their third son was Şerif Muhammed Emin Bey.
