Muhammad 'Ali was born in 1878 at Rampur, scion of "a fairly prosperous and cultured Indian Muslim family”, whose members had served in the civil and military administration of Rampur State since before the Mutiny. Young ‘Ali's primary education followed the custom of his class. Under a pedagogue he read a few Persian classics, learned to read -- without understanding the Qur’an in Arabic, and absorbed the routine of the religious rituals practised in his Sunni home.
