Sik District is a district in Kedah, Malaysia. It is largest district in Kedah.
The name of the district was derived from the Arab word "Syed" or "Sheikh" (pronounced as such in Pattani Malay as "Sik" and "Saik"), after the Arab missionaries who spread Islam into the region.[2]
Arab preachers arrived by boat at Lubuk Tok Keramat, Sungai Chepir and set up camp at a field known as Padang Tok Sheikh. This location later developed into a settlement and first "Pondok" in Sik district. The group of preachers is said to be descended from Wan Ibrahim Mekong. Padang Tok Sheikh is now located near Sik Town Mosque and is being developed as the Sik District Religious Office Complex.
