As-Suyuti's full name was Abu'l Fadl Abd al-Rahman ibn Kamal al-Din Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Sabiq al-Din, Jalal al-Din alMisri al-Suyuti al-Shafi'. He was born in upper Egypt, on the night of Saturday 1st Rajab in 849 A.H.(3rd October 1445 A.D.)in a place called Asyut from which he took his surname of as-Suyuti. He lost his father early in life,but he was left financially independent and so he faced no difficulty in pursuing his studies.
Born to a Turkish mother, and a non-Arab father, hewas raised as an orphan in Cairo. His memory was very retentive.At the age of eight, he became a hafiz of the Qur'an. His mother,being a very intelligent lady, arranged for his education with all the best contemporary scholars.
