Sidi Galal El Din
Al-Suyouti was born in Cairo in 1445 AD and was raised as an orphan after his
father died while he was only 5 years old. He memorized the Holy Quran (Qur'an)
when he was barely eight. He began to immerse himself into knowledge and
research when he was 15. Imam Jalaluddin Al-Suyuti was an Egyptian writer,
religious scholar, juristic expert and teacher whose works deal with a wide
variety of subjects in Islamic theology.
Being the offspring of great ancestors renowned
for knowledge and religious research, this Imam was known as Ibn al-Kutb (son
of books). He adhered to the Shafi'ie Madhab. He kept himself in his house,
busying himself with knowledge, research and writing until he caught a sickness
that lasted for seven days, ending in his death.
