Early and Family Life
Mohammad Sarwar was born in Pirmahal, Toba Tek Singh District, Pakistan. He was educated at the University of Faisalabad. In 1976 he married Perveen Sarwar, with whom he had three sons and one daughter.
Sarwar has estimated assets of £16 million, mainly from the family wholesale cash and carry business, United Wholesale Grocers, which Sarwar and his brother founded in 1982. The brothers split the business in 2002, with Sarwar forming United Wholesale (Scotland) while his brother retained the previous name.
His son, Athif Sarwar, was accused of an £850,000 missing trader fraud in United Wholesale (Scotland) Limited while he was Managing Director in 2003. In 2011 the Court of Criminal Appeal overturned Athif's earlier conviction in 2007 for the fraud. Mohammad Sarwar was a remunerated director of the company, but never accused of involvement in the alleged fraud.

And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,

Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
