He was born in the village of al-Qusayr, near Yafran in the Nafusa Mountains, which is located in modern-day Libya. Historical sources do not record his exact date of birth, which remains unknown.[1] However it is estimated to be around 845 AH (c. 1441 CE) or possibly later, around 860 AH (c. 1456 CE), but most sources generally agree that his birth likely occurred sometime during the 840s AH.[2]
