Born to British Pakistani father Yaser and an English mother, Tricia Malik (née Brannan), he has three sisters Doniya, Waliyha and Safaa.He grew up in East Bowling, located south of the Bradford city centre. Malik was a pupil at Lower Fields Primary School in East Bowling and went to Tong High School, a state comprehensive school.Malik didn't fit in at his first two schools due to his mixed heritage, revealing that when he and his sister moved schools he felt he fitted in better.

On auditioning for The X Factor, Malik, dicho "I was looking for an experience". He cites urban música as his main musical influence.

He as well as other members of One Direction further notes artists such as Bruno Mars, as a "dream collaborator."Malik is addicted to smoking cigarettes, in 2011 he expressed desire to quit, saying "I definitely have to quit smoking. I need to do it."In May 2012, after months of media speculation, Malik and Little Mix member Perrie Edwards confirmed they are in a relationship.Malik once tweeted, "La ila ha ill lalla ho muhammed door rasoolalah", the tweet is a common declaration of faith among Muslims meaning: "There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God." Kari Huus from msnbc.com, felt it is, "likely to alienate some conservative Muslims and has already sparked the wrath of at least one well known anti-Muslim conservative in the US." However Wajahat Ali, a San Francisco-based screen writer who is a practicing Muslim, felt Malik represents progress. "It is empowering for Muslims worldwide to see the success of a pop estrella who also happens to be Muslim. It sends that message that a person can be respected for their talent, and their "Musliminess" will not exclude them from the public arena and culture," dicho Ali. "It's also good business. tu have a Muslim in a five-person boy band… and tu have captured an audience of Muslim girls worldwide." Zudhi Jasser, an American Muslim who frequently warns of Islamic radicalization, commented, "I would say all the power to him to be respectful to his faith and be proud of it," dicho Jasser. But he also notes that conservative Islamists would likely frown on many aspects of Malik's behavior—his smoking, his tattoos, ear piercing, and song lyrics that — "while saccharine — probably would not be seen to glorify God." Ali, the screenwriter, dicho that even if más conservative Muslims don't agree with Malik's behavior, he could help expand the artistic boundaries for young Muslims. "What we have seen in the last 10 years is that tu can be an artist who is Muslim and can be practicing and doing art that is inspired por your beliefs, but does not have to be overtly Islamic o using religious language," he said. "A guy like Zayn Malik can really help open those minds and convey that as a generation we are moving ahead."
