He was born in Beirut and taught by his father. He taught and mentored on the way of his father, Sheikh Omar, may God have mercy on him. He set up a corner of the Sufi method in the Martyrs’ Square in Beirut and another near Port Said Avenue in Tripoli.

He was close to Sultan Abd al-Majid I, who gave him a plot of land in the Tower Square, on which he built a prayer corner, a house, a residence, and a market known to this day as the Abu al-Nasr market. Prince Abdul Qadir al-Jaza’iri stayed with Sheikh Abu al-Nasr for eighteen days on his way to Damascus. He moved to Egypt, and after several months, he died and was buried there in 1280 AH
