Birth in Tehran
Dr. Hassan Habibi was born in the Mowlavi neighborhood in southern Tehran. As the eldest child of a middle-class family, he grew up with three brothers and one sister.
Age 5 (1320 SH / 1941)
Early Education

Heeding his family’s advice, he took up practical and skilled trades during his adolescence. Given his parents’ expertise in hosiery knitting, he worked in this trade during summer breaks. This hands-on experience exposed him to the labor environment, professional relations, and the entire supply chain—from sourcing and dyeing yarn to knitting and market distribution. These early insights proved invaluable later in life for understanding complex legal and social dynamics. Furthermore, he acquired skills in bookbinding and fabric dyeing during these formative years.
