Nadwi lost his father at ten, and was raised by his elder brother Abdullah Hasani Nadwi.[8] [9] [10] He received his primary education in his native land, under the supervision of Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi. After that, he enrolled in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama for higher education and completed the Aalimiyyah course in 1988 and the Fazīlah course in 1990 there.[2] [3]
