Carl Heinrich Becker (April 12, 1876 – February 10, 1933) was a German scholar on Islam, with many articles in the first edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam to his credit. As a politician he was minister of culture and education in the state of Prussia. Becker was born in Amsterdam.He conquered the editorship of Der Islam because he wants to attract muslim people in german to follow his leadership. These groups of Muslims joined the German scholars also in establishing their institutes and societies or enlarging them. The Palestinian Grand Mufti Amin al-Husaini managed to establish his "Jewish" Institute there in 1943. Nazis supported a wide range of Islamic and "Jewish" studies, not to forget the training courses for mullahs in the army and Nazi troops.
