1.1 Birth
KH. Achmad Shiddiq, whose childhood name was Achmad Muhammad Hasan, was born on Sunday, 10th of Rajab 1344 H / January 24, 1926 M in Jember, East Java. He was the youngest son of KH. Shiddiq and Nyai Hj. Zaqiah (Nyai Maryam) binti KH. Yusuf.

Kyai Achmad lost his father when he was 8 years old. Earlier, at the age of 4, he had already lost his mother, who passed away during a sea journey while returning from performing the Hajj.

Thus, from a young age, Kyai Achmad was an orphan. Consequently, Kyai Mahfudz Shiddiq took on the responsibility of raising Kyai Achmad, while Kyai Halim Shiddiq cared for Kyai Abdullah, who was then 10 years old. It is believed by some that Kyai Achmad inherited many traits and the thinking style of his elder brother (KH. Mahfudz Shiddiq).
