sheik

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'muslim chief' is the definition.
'sheik' can be an answer for 'chief' (I have seen 'Arab chief' mean 'sheik' so perhaps 'chief' could also mean 'sheik'). I am not sure about the 'muslim' bit.

'organised hikes' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hikes' with letters rearranged gives 'SHEIK'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheik that I've seen before include "Arab leader -- hikes (anag)" , "Arab chief" , "Leader of an Arab village or family" , "Arab tribal head" , "Ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
