He was born on February 27, 1965, in Fatih, Istanbul, as the son of a wealthy family who are originally from Goreleli, Giresun. He had a great interest in robes at his childhood and in order to be distinguished from his friend who had the same name, he started being called as Cubbeli Ahmet (Ahmet with robe) since then. He started his education at the ages of 3-4. He was specially educated by Mahmut Ustaosmanoglu (kusside sirruhu) who is from Naqshbandi Sect and continued his madrasa education until the age of 11 at Ismailaga Mosque in Carsamba, Fatih.
At the age of 12, after the sermons he gave in mosques like Yavuz Selim and Kasımpasa Mosque he started to be watched by large crowds. Again at the same age, he took courses such as Sarf, Nahv, Kelam, Meani, Tafsir, Hadith and Fiqh from Resul Bolukbasi in Pazar district of Rize. Normally it would take years to study those books but he finished them at a period of 20 months and he took his teaching diploma at a ceremony where there were ten of thousands.
The first time he went to pilgrimage in 1983 he was 17. After his return from pigrimage, Ahmet Hodja Efendi completed his recitation of Quran in six months.
