Sheikh (pronounced 
/ˈʃiːk/ SHEEK or /ˈʃeɪk/ SHAYK; Arabic: شيخ šayḫ, mostly pronounced [ʃeːx], plural شيوخ šuyūḫ) — also spelled Sheik or Shaikh, or transliterated as Shaykh — is an honorific in the Arabic language that literally means "elder" and carries the meaning "leader and/or governor". It is commonly used to designate the front man of a tribe who got this title after his father, or an Islamic scholar who got this title after graduating from the basic Islamic school. Sheikha is the female equivalent, although these are uncommon in the Arabic world. A sheikh who is wise is called ḥakīm adjective (wise) حكيم, ḥākim noun (governor) حاكم, yaḥkum verb (govern) يحكم; and can govern. The scholar sheikh here can govern but cannot lead directly because the leader is the imam which is based upon the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah; on the other hand the family sheikh can always lead but cannot govern unless he is wise. Although the title generally refers to a male, a very small number of female sheikhs have also existed.[citation needed]

Dreamz: The Movie (2013)
Actors: Serena Lorien (actress), Serena Lorien (writer), Vishaal Desai (writer), Vishaal Desai (miscellaneous crew), Sanjeeda Sheikh (actress), Rakesh Chaudhary (actor), Melissa Scott Clark (actress), Darlene Moore (producer), Darlene Moore (actress), Manoj Bakshi (actor), Naresh Gosain (actor), Sumana Mukherjee (producer), Aiden Angeli (actor), Giselle Grayson (writer), Harbeen Arora (writer),
Plot: 'Dreamz' is a tapestry of touching stories of 13 women, with abusive and tragic pasts. They are struggling with their broken identities, and yet striving to forge ahead. They are each on their individual path of self-discovery and self-restoration, in an enabling college environment, till one day a common crisis of a friend's accidental death unites them. Along the way, their own inhibitions and insecurities are exposed and we discover the pasts of each of these girls; pasts that affect the way they handle the death of their friend and the subsequent truth behind it. An osmosis of experiences leads to degrees of transcendence and healing in each of them. Based on the true life stories of underprivileged girls from over 22 countries studying on special scholarships at NIILM University in India under the aegis of the Rai Foundation, 'Dreamz' sheds light on the various levels of abuse and discrimination that women, even today, in all parts of the world, experience and endure. The stories of the 13 protagonists cover a cross-section of modern-day concerns such as rape, oppression, humiliation and sexual abuse that thrive as much in urban societies and the developed world much as they do in rural villages and third-world countries.
