Ahmad Hasan was born in 1882 in Ziri, West Patiya under Chittagong District.[2] He received his primary education at home from a tutor. He studied Urdu and Persian, including the Quran, with a tutor named Rafiqullah. Elsewhere, there were no facilities for learning Arabic.[3] There was only one government madrasa in Chittagong, named Muhsinia Madrasa. He was admitted to Jamaat Dahum in Muhsinia Madrasa in 1315 AH at the age of approximately 15–16 years. He was systematically studying at Muhsinia Madrasa.[2] In the meantime, when the Al-Jamiatul Ahlia Darul Ulum Moinul Islam was established, in the year 1318 AH, he was admitted to the Hathazari Madrasa in Jamaat Nahum. Ashraf Ali, a resident of Kaiyagram, used to have a jagir in their house when he was studying Jamaat Ula at Hathazari Madrasa. Ahmed Hasan once came home with him in consultation he decided to establish a Qawmi Madrasah. According to the decision, he first started the madrasa education in a shop room. Later he relocated the madrasa to a place called Ziri. The madrasa established by him after Darul Uloom Hathazari was established in this area.[2][3]
