Umm Kulthum was born on May 4, 1904, in Tummāy al-Zahāyrah, Egypt, according to birth records. Some early profiles suggested she was born at the end of the 19th century. Birth records were not accurately maintained in rural Egypt in the early 20th century, and so it is difficult to know for certain when she was born.
