The start of Ahmad's activism roughly coincided with the 1905 Partition of Bengal movement. As an accomplice of Hemchandra Ghosh, he joined Ghosh's organisation, the Dhaka Mukti Sangha.[7] During World War I, many revolutionaries and activists were arrested by the British Army though others such as Ahmad continued to keep the organisation alive underground. Ahmad provided shelter for numerous rebels and assisted them with weaponry. He prevented communal riots in Dacca during his leadership and had recruited many young people in the city.[8] Among his notable disciples was Abdul Jabbar (revolutionary)|Abdul Jabbar.[2] Ahmad continued his anti-imperial activities in hiding to avoid police arrests. The colonial police were never able to capture him.[9]
