Life
El Desouki was born in Desouk on the Nile delta and lived there his whole life, hence his attribution to it.[1] According to traditions and popular sayings, he is a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Talib from his paternal side through Ali al-Hadi.[2][3] El Desouki was influenced by the Shadhili Sufi order founded by his uncle Abu al-Hasan Shadhili and was as well close to his contemporary Sufi Ahmad al-Badawi of Tanta.[4] He became Sheikh ul-Islam of Egypt during Baibars' rule.
His feast is celebrated twice a year: the first during April, and the second on October the 2nd.[5]
