Juhayman al-Otaybi Age, Birthday, Zodiac Sign and Birth Chart

He served as a sergeant in the Saudi National Guard for eighteen years before retiring. Lacking formal education beyond the fourth grade, he met Muhammad al-Qahtani at the Islamic University in Medina. Al-Otaybi was a proponent of al-Qahtani as the Mahdi, believing his actions heralded the arrival of a renewer of Islam every hundred years, leading to the notorious incident at the mosque.
