A Glimpse of the Life of the Researcher & Islamic Scholar Prof. Abdul-Kadir John alias Al-Dayrani

Verifier & Publisher of Books of the Humane Scholar Mohammad Amin Sheikho (His soul has been sanctified by Al’lah)

8- Prof A.K. John alias Al-Dayrani

His light rose on 24 July 1934, and he was lucky to see the light in the Damascene house of his father, a great scholar, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Dayrani (God has mercy upon him), a disciple of the great Sheikh Badrud-Deen Al-Hassani Al-Hussaini (God has mercy upon him), one of the great scholars of Hadith in Damascus at whose hands Professor Abdul-Kadir received a virtuous education full of knowledge. The extent of his learning was such that he left not one of his father’s books unread in his youth.

Before he had completed his secondary education, he met with the scholar, M. A. Sheikho (his soul has been sanctified by Al’lah), and was astonished at his greatest of Godly sciences. He then adhered to him like his shadow for nine years, throughout which he was educated as a scholar. These were years full of great science and knowledge.

He finished his secondary education and started university, and got 10 university certificates.
