Hussain grew up in Holbeck, outside Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, as the youngest of four siblings. He later attended Matthew Murray High School where he was a mediocre student. In July 2003 he began studying business administration. A year earlier, however, he went to Mecca and Pakistan to visit relatives. Since his return from Pakistan, friends and relatives have noticed his abnormally religious behavior.

At the beginning of July 2005 he went to London with a declaration to his parents that he would visit friends. When he did not come back, his parents called the police and he had already got on the 30 bus . Police later found his driver's license and credit cards in the rubble.

Hussain was named by Scotland Yard as one of the men allegedly dumped and detonated a bomb on the 30 bus in Tavistock Square , responsible for 13 of the 56 dead and 700 wounded in the suicide bombings in London .

The other men were Shehzad Tanweer , Germaine Lindsay, and Mohammad Sidique Khan .
