Born at Koduvally in Kozhikode district on 8 March 1949, Rahim started his political career through MSF during his college days.[citation needed] He completed a B.Com. degree at Farook College and LLB at Government Law College, Kozhikode.[citation needed] He was secretary of the Indian Union Muslim League Kozhikode District Committee and he was also President of Koduvally Grama Panchayath (1988–1993, 1998–2006). He left the Muslim League in early 2000s and formed Muslim League(R) with his followers. He made a successful movement in the Panachayat election held in 2005 with the support of Left Front in Koduvally.

He became a noted politician when he defeated K. Muraleedharan, the UDF candidate in Koduvally constituency in 2006 elections. In early 2011 with the support of LDF, under the leadership of P. T. A. Rahim a new party, National Secular Conference (NSC) was formed, which aimed to protect the rights of Dalits, religious minorities and other backward sections of people.
