Abd al-Rahman b. Kamal al-Din Abi Bakr b. Muhammad Sabiq al-Din Khudr al-Khudairi al-Asyuti (عبد الرحمن بن كمال الدين أبي بكر بن محمد سابق الدين خضر الخضيري الأسيوطي), entitled Jalal al-Din (جلال الدين; literally "Majesty of the Faith") and known as al-Suyuti (السيوطي), was the most prolific writer in Islamic history. Al-Suyuti was born in Cairo in 1445 and died there in 1505. His writings span many topics. As a jurist, he followed the Shafi'i madh'hab.[1]
Many of Suyuti's most well-known works of lasting impact were compilations or textbooks, including Tarikh al-Khulafa (History of the Caliphs) and al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur'an (The Perfect Guide to the Science of the Qur'an). However, what is perhaps his most famous work, the brief exegesis Tafsir al-Jalalayn, was not a work of his own conception. The Tafsir has been been started by Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli (d. 1460) and was only completed by al-Suyuti.[1]
While al-Suyuti specialized in the Islamic study of tafsir, hadith, and fiqh, he produced writings on a much wider variety of subjects, including poetry, rhetoric, logic, and astronomy, and even wrote multiple works (one survey counts fourteen) on sex, including a work on sexual positions and a dictionary on sexual terminology.[1][2]
