He was born in Mohallah Munshian – a neighbourhood named after his father Munshi Mian Nizam ud din Qureshi (called munshi as he was scholar of Arabic and Persian).

After completing his education, Qureshi joined the Public Works Department. In 1914, in response to World War I, Muslim leaders issued a fatwa that working under British government was haram (forbidden), so Qureshi resigned from his government job and started his own business. He started taking part in politics, joining the Freedom Movement.{{Clarify|date=September 2009}}
