Malik Usama Shafiq was born on May 24, 1996, in Karachi, Pakistan. At the age of ten, he moved with his family to Punjab. From his early years, he developed a strong inclination toward religion and spirituality. He memorized the Holy Qur’an and spent almost a decade studying in various Islamic seminaries of different schools of thought, which gave him a strong grasp over religious knowledge and issues.
He completed his matriculation from FG Cantt Public School Mehfooz Road, Rawalpindi, and his Intermediate education from FG Liaquat Ali Degree College. Later, he graduated from the University of the Punjab.
Alongside his academic and religious pursuits, Malik Usama Shafiq was deeply passionate about athletics. As a national-level athlete, he earned recognition for his speed and performance on the track. He was honored with the title: “Malik Usama Bolt – The Fastest Boy of Islamabad.”
