Mohammad Amin Sheikho (Arabic: محمد أمين شيخو, 1890 - 1964) was a Kurdish[1] Islamic scholar and interpreter of the Quran.
Sheikho earned certificates of commendation and praise during the Ottoman rule, as well as under the reign of King Faisal of Syria, copies of which still exist to this day.
[9] Bennett asked Sheikho many questions about the exact definition of the ‘spirit’ and the difference between that and the ‘soul’, as well as seeking for clarification about Godly Justice, a topic which he found difficult to comprehend.
As a result of this visit, Bennett practiced Islamic legislation and performed the prayers along with Sheikho's followers.
[6] Mohammad Amin Sheikho authored books about Islam in Arabic, a few have been translated into English and French.
