![]() ![]() ![]() His father was his first teacher, and after his death, Ghazzi's mother became responsible for his education. He was a young boy when his father died, but he considerably documented his father's life and works in his own career as a scholar in Damascus. Ghazzi, born on 19 January 1570, was the youngest of his siblings. The only known biography of Ghazzi himself is by his Damascene contemporary Muhammad Amin al-Muhibbi. By the time of his death in 1577 he had become among the preeminent scholars of Damascus, best known for his tafsirs (interpretations of Islamic scripture) and his fatwas (legal opinions). He wrote one of the first Arabic travel accounts of Constantinople, the Ottoman capital, and the places along the way, called al-Matali al-badriyya fi al-manazil al-Rumiyya (Full Moon Rising: Waystations to Constantinople) during his visit in 1530–1531. He eventually became the Shafi'i mufti of Damascus and an instructor in the Umayyad Mosque. He started his career as a scholar in Damascus around 1515. Badr al-Din, born in 1499, received an elite education in the Mamluk capital Cairo, including instruction by al-Suyuti. Radi al-Din's son Badr al-Din was Ghazzi's father. He penned works about Sufism, aqida (creed), agriculture and plants, medicine, and Arabic grammar. He had lost his position at some point before or during the political transition, but regained it by developing close ties with the Ottoman government. His grandfather Radi al-Din al-Ghazzi (1458–1529) was the deputy qadi (judge) of the Shafi'i madhhab (Islamic school of jurisprudence) and an important figure in the Sufi Qadiriyya order in the late 15th and early 16th century, during the ending years of Mamluk rule and the beginnings of Ottoman rule. They were originally from Gaza, hence their nisba 'al-Ghazzi'. Kurdish soldiers, militia groups and coalition airstrikes led by the United States have been fighting back against the extremist organisation in Iraq since it began capturing towns and cities in the country.Ghazzi came from a family of Muslim scholars long based in Damascus. Islamic State captured Mosul in June 2014, forcing most of its Christians to flee. The organisation has said it does not know how long Suha Ahmed Radi was captured for, or how she was executed. She is the 14th journalist Islamic State has killed in Mosul, according to IJS. Suha Ahmed Radi was working for a Mosul newspaper before the extremist organisation kidnapped her and then killed her on charges of spying. The Iraqi Journalists Syndicate (IJS) has also reported that Islamic State has murdered a female journalist who was working in Mosul. It's unclear what the church was being used for before Islamic State demolished it, because it appears on a list of churches presented to the US House of Representatives which were either "destroyed, occupied, converted to mosques, converted to ISIS headquarters or otherwise shuttered".
