Amin Tarif (Arabic: أمين طريف, Hebrew: אמין טריף; born 1898, died October 2, 1993) was the qadi, or spiritual leader, of the Druze in Mandatory Palestine from 1928 and then Israel until his death in 1993.
Returning to Julis, the Sheikh adopted an ascetic lifestyle according to Druze ideals, living modestly from grains grown for his own needs.
The Israeli President, Ezer Weizman, the Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Chairman of the Knesset were among the dignitaries present at his funeral.
His tomb has since become a place of pilgrimage - large numbers of Druze visit the Sheikh's resting-place annually on the anniversary of his death.
In June 2009 sectarian clashes between Druze and Christian Arab youth in the town of Shefa-'Amr were sparked by the posting of a YouTube clip dishonouring Sheikh Amin's memory.
