He belonged to one of the most influential noble households of the Middle East and Ottoman Empire, the House of Tavil.
After the passing of his brother Muhammed Bahâeddin in 1881, Omar left Tavila and moved to Biyara with his family.
He subsequently traveled to Baghdad, Najaf, and Karbala for visits before returning to Biyara.
These institutions became centers of knowledge and spiritual guidance, continuing his family’s legacy of education.
The tekke and madrassas that he worked to establish and build became centers of learning and spiritual guidance.
