## Early life and education

Habibullah Mukhtar was born in 1944 to Hakim Mukhtar Hassan Khan in Delhi. At the age of three, he migrated from Delhi to Karachi with his family. He got his early religious education from [Darul Uloom Karachi](/source/Jamia_Darul_Uloom%2C_Karachi) and [Dars-i Nizami](/source/Dars-i_Nizami) form [Jamia Uloom-ul-Islamia](/source/Jamia_Uloom-ul-Islamia) in 1959. In 1966, on the behest of [Muhammad Yousuf Banuri](/source/Muhammad_Yousuf_Banuri) he entered to the [Islamic University of Madinah](/source/Islamic_University_of_Madinah) and studied there for four years, and returned in 1970.
