==Early life and family== Maqsudullah was born in 1883 to a Bengali Muslim family of Ghazis in the village of Talgasia, Jhalakathi, then located under the Backergunge District of the Bengal Presidency. His father, Moulvi Ghazi Sanaullah, died in 1898 whilst returning from the Hajj pilgrimage and so Maqsudullah was mostly raised by his mother, Amena Khatun, and his paternal grandfather, Moulvi Ghazi Hijrullah.
