Sheikh Al-Tayeb Al-Jadd Wad Badr was born in 1930 in Um Duwan Ban, where he grew up in a distinguished Sufi family. He memorized the Holy Qur’an in the khalwa (traditional Qur’anic school) of his grandfather, Sheikh Wad Badr.
He later studied law and, upon graduation, joined the judiciary, steadily rising through the ranks until he became a judge at the Supreme Court. Throughout his judicial career, he was known for his integrity and commitment to justice.
