Early life
Zakaria was born on 22 February 1932 to a Bengali Muslim family in the village of Sekeddaha in Birbhum district, Bengal Presidency. He was the son of Mohammad Ali Birbhumi. At a young age, he learnt the tilawa of the Qur'an. He studied at a madrasa in Birbhum until sixth class. His father wished for him to become a hafiz i.e. memorize the entire Qur'an off by heart. However, his mother desired for him to enrol at the Mallarpur English School which he eventually joined. From there, he studied at the Suri Senior Benimadhab Institution where he passed his matriculation. He completed his Intermediate of Arts from the Krishna Chandra College.
