Brahui was born in the Pedehgee village of Chahar Burjak District of Nimruz Province in 1955. He is the son of Mohammad Mobin and belongs to the Mohammad Hassani Baloch tribe, minority ethnic group of Afghanistan. He attended primary school in his hometown and graduated from Cadet School in 1973. He then attended Cadet College where he obtained his bachelor's degree in 1977 in the field of Weapons Technology and served in the military of Afghanistan. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, he left the military as many others did and joined the mujahideen alliance.
Following the collapse of Najibullah's government, Brahui was appointed as Governor of Nimruz and the Commander of the 4th Brigade in the government of Burhanuddin Rabbani.
In early 2009, militants attempted to kill Brahui in a suicide attack.[7][8] In early 2011, Brahui again escaped unhurt in a remote-controlled bomb explosion. He was visiting an irrigation project on the Lashkari canal when his vehicle was hit with a remote control mine in the 2nd district of Zaranj, near the Darul Ulam Madrasa (Islamic school) in the city.[citation needed]
