From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheikh Mohammed Amin Kuftaro (Arabic: محمد أمين كفتارو) (d. 1938) was a noted Syrian-Kurdish Islamic scholar and head of the Naqshbandi Sufi tariqa. Before Sheikh Amin's death in 1938, it was clear he had designated his son, Sheikh Ahmed Kuftaro to take over his office as sheikh of the tariqa; Ahmed later went on to become the official Grand Mufti of Syria.
