Question:
aslamalaykum Shaykh Hisham
I have read somewhere that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim was born on 12 rabbi ul awwal is this correct as I think I have read elsewhere he was born in shabaan forgive me for being nosie I am just curious as Mawlana is so SPECIAL.
Answer:
According to the book Classical Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi Way, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim was born in Larnaca, Cyprus, on the 23rd of April 1922, a Sunday, the 26th of Shacban, 1340 H.Perhaps your confusion is that the Prophet (s) is reported to have been born in April, 570 around the dates 20-23.
