He grew up in the Ghizhduvon region of Bukhara in a traditional Islamic setting. His grandfather and father were both learned figures of the time and fol- lowers of the strict Kubravi school of thought. Orphaned at the age of 12, Aini left Saktara for Bukhara, where his older brother studied and where he hoped to pursue his own studies. With him he carried a vast number of popular stories and proverbs which he had learned by min- gling with the shopkeepers and laborers of Ghizhduvon.

In Bukhara, Aini became familiar with the world of his time through the works of Ahmad Donish. Donish had made three trips to Russia and had documented his observations in Navodir al-Vaqaye' Singular Events. Aini also drew on the knowledge and teachings of Domulla Ikromcha, a cleric with a refreshing and different view of life than his own contemporary colleagues. Aini's awakening, happening at the time of the October Revolution in Russia, impacted Aini's world view immensely, so that his lyric poetry, centered on the themes of love and nature, gave way to anthems in praise of the dawn of a new age for the working people of Bukhara.

His most remarkable work is an account of his life, especially the formative period. Written in the s, it is called the Yoddoshtho Reminiscences ; it details life in Bukhara of the turn of the century in a most vivid and informative way.
