Several great figures and wise men are from this village such as "Mullah Hassan Dizli". He was a religious expert and a poet. He wrote poems in Sorani and Hawrami Kurdish dialects and in Persian language, too. Mullah Hassan is considered to be a reformist religious man; this is why Baghdad Wali (governor) offered him high ranks such as being "Baghdad's Mufti" but Mullah Hassan rejected his offer and asked the Wali to let him go to Al Azhar University. Baghdad's Wali accepted his request and sent him to Egypt. Mullah Hassan continued his education in Al Azhar for two years. He was very intelligent so he became a master in Al Azhar and began teaching there for nine years.
Another great figure of Dizli village was "Mahmoud Khan Dizli". This prominent figure played a great role during his life with his national ideology. He was from Hawrami Kurdish clans but he cooperated with the Sorani Kurds, too. He belonged to Naqshbandi religious clans but he helped out the Qaderi religious Sufis. Mahmoud Khan Dizli was against Reza Shah's regime and British colonialism, so he was imprisoned several times. He also supported the revolutions that happened in the Southern part of Kurdistan which we can see in the revolution of "Sheikh Mahmoud Hafid". Mahmoud Khan cooperated with Malik Mahmoud to fight against the British and after Malik Mahmoud was arrested, he helped out Hafid family to come to Marivan and escape the British forces.
Dizli is Hawraman's gate and a famous village, historical place, and tourist destination.
Due to its geographical location, Dizli was a powerful castle of Hawraman during "Alexander's" wars, Mongol invasions, and Islamic Jihads.
One of the special features of this village is the "Twelve Ashabs". According to the beliefs of the villagers, during Islamic Jihads at the beginning, these people reached Kurdistan borders before the other Muslims and they were killed there. They were buried in special tombs and after the people of this region became Muslims themselves they turned these tombs into sacred places.
