His father's name was Mujib Uddin Biswas and his mother was Mosa Jiuzan Nesa.
He lost his father while in the third grade. Later, with the help of his uncles, Mr Md. A. Wahed and Mr Md. A.

Career:
He began his career with a job in the postal department at Fort William, Calcutta. Later, in 1943, he resigned from that job and joined the armed forces. After completing a gruelling nine-month officer training at the Katni centre in the Central Provinces of India, he was commissioned as an officer and joined the "Kandivily Malad Ordnance" depot in Bombay. He then received six months of planning training in the city of Pune as a 1st Indian Officer and served with distinction in various depots of British India at the time. He worked in New Delhi, Pune, Lucknow, Bombay, Jabalpur, Lahore and other places.
After the partition of the country in 1947 he was incorporated into the Pakistan armed forces, and in December of that very year, on the instructions of his uncles, he left the army and became involved with a secondary school in the area called the Haji Bharas Uddin Institution, adorning the post of headmaster for a long 35 years with the aim of establishing the school firmly. Through his encouragement and enthusiasm, several poor Muslim students became accomplished students in society and are now working in various countries of the world and in high positions in Bangladesh. He is honoured as the school's founding headmaster.
