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.

If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“...all enjoyment is dependent upon the frailty of human life and human desires ... if we were to have all we want and to live forever, all enjoyment would be gone.”
