Early life and education[]

Noor Muhammad was born in 1936 in Bizenkhel, Bannu District, to Maulvi Nazar Muhammad Ibn Maulvi Ahmad Noor in a well-known intellectual and spiritual family. He belongs to the Ahmadzai tribe of Wazir. He received his early education from his late father at home and in 1951 he entered Jamia Qasim Ul Uloom, Multan. In the same year, Mufti Mahmood joined Jamia Qasim Ul Uloom as its president. He studied there for five years under the supervision of Mufti Mahmood.[2]

Career[]

In 1956, he assumed teaching and oratory duties in Wana, Waziristan, in support of his late father. In 1961, he started the construction of the Jama Masjid Wana, South Waziristan. The construction of the mosque was completed in ten years and at the same time, he laid the foundation of Jamia Darul Uloom Waziristan.[3]

Besides studying in Jamia Qasim Ul Uloom, he ran a two-month continuous political campaign for Mufti Mahmood in Dera Ismail Khan.

In 1997 he was elected to the National Assembly as an independent and later joined the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI-F).
