1. Birth in present-day Iraq

   1483-01-01 · Iraq

   

   Fuzuli was born in territory now within Iraq. The evidence does not support assigning a more specific birthplace because Baghdad, Najaf, Hilla, and Karbala are all reported in competing traditions. The exact birthplace is disputed; coordinates are a representative point for Iraq rather than a claimed birth settlement.

2. Presentation to Sultan Suleiman after the conquest of Baghdad

   1534-01-01 · Baghdad, Iraq

   

   After Sultan Suleiman I captured Baghdad, Fuzuli presented the sultan with a long qaṣīdah and also addressed Ottoman officials in the entourage. This was his documented effort to secure patronage under the new Ottoman regime. Coordinates represent the historic city of Baghdad; the specific venue of the presentation is not identified.

3. Death during the plague

   1556-01-01 · Karbala, Iraq

   

   Fuzuli died during the plague epidemic that devastated Baghdad and its surroundings. The cited scholarly encyclopedia identifies Karbala as the strongest reported location of his death. The death location is reported as Karbala by the strongest accounts, but competing accounts exist.
