He was a strong critic of the counter-terrorism policy of the United States, and was widely known for his opposition to the United States' participation in the war against the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Qazi was born in 1938 in the house of Maulana Qazi Muhammad Abdul Rab at Ziarat Kaka Sahib, Nowshera District, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Qazi Sahib is descendant of Seljoki Sheikh Hazrat Sheikh Akhund Adyan seljuki Baba/Akhuna din Baba ( شیخ اخوند ادین بابا /اخوندین بابا/سلجوقی), who was a teacher of Hazrat kaka sahib and contemporary of Khushal Khan Khattak. A teacher by profession, Maulana was appointed as the President of Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Qazi Hussain Ahmed was the youngest among his ten siblings.
After having completed early education at home, Qazi Hussain Ahmad was admitted to Islamia College, Peshawar and got his Master of Science (MSc) degree in Geography from Peshawar University.
