Hadi was born on 20 October 1947, in Kampung Rusila, Marang, Terengganu.

He is the fifth child of nine siblings; four of them are deceased.

His father's name was Haji Awang Mohamad bin Abd Rahman while his mother was Hajjah Aminah Yusuf.

They are also deceased.

His father who was Tok Guru in Kampung Rusila was also a political activist of Hizbul Muslimin Terengganu.

Similarly, his bonds were the place of reference and the focus of society, especially in religious matters.

Hizbul Muslimin was banned by the colonists, at the will of the ruling party.

A few years after the ban, Haji Awang Mohammad emerged as one of the earliest to introduce the struggle of the Malay Se-Malaya (PAS) Society in Terengganu.

In addition, he studied religion, Arabic and politics with his father.
