At the age of three, his father died and he was brought up by his mother. It was his mother's ambitions that lead him towards Islamic studies so he joined Jamia Nazmia and stayed in Madrasatul Waizeen. But due to financial problems he moved to Lucknow Shia Orphanage to fulfil his ambition to become an Islamic scholar. As soon as financial conditions improved he moved to Madrasatul Waizeen.
