Early Life
Allama Khalid Masud was born in Lilla, Jhelum District, Pakistan. He belonged to a religious family, which is a branch of a local sufi school of thought, Naqshbandi Mujjaddadi. But he and his father, Saif U Rehman, both were not under influence of sufism and they concentrated mainly towards Qur'an and Sharia. He learnt basics of Arabic and Persian from his father Saif U Rehman who was an Arabic teacher at his time.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
