Dia diberikan sebutan Buya, yaitu panggilan buat orang Minangkabau yang berasal dari kata abi, abuya dalam bahasa Arab, yang berarti ayah kami, atau seseorang yang dihormati.
Ayahnya, Syeikh Abdul Karim bin Amrullah, disapa Haji Rasul, seorang pelopor Gerakan Islah(tajdid) di Minangkabau, sekembalinya dari Makkah 1906.

HAMKA mendapat pendidikan rendah di Sekolah Dasar Maninjau sehingga Darjah Dua. Ketika usia HAMKA mencapai 10 tahun, ayahnya telah mendirikan Sumatera Thawalib di Padang Panjang. Di situ HAMKA mempelajari agama dan mendalami bahasa Arab. HAMKA juga pernah mengikuti pengajaran agama di surau dan masjid yang diberikan ulama terkenal seperti Syeikh Ibrahim Musa, Syeikh Ahmad Rasyid, Sutan Mansur, R.M. Surjoparonto dan Ki Bagus Hadikusumo.

Hamka mula-mula bekerja sebagai guru agama pada tahun 1927 di Perkebunan Tebing Tinggi, Medan dan guru agama di Padang panjang pada tahun 1929. HAMKA kemudian dilantik sebagai dosen di Universitas Islam, Jakarta dan Universitas Muhammadiyah, Padangpanjang dari tahun 1957 hingga tahun 1958. Setelah itu, beliau diangkat menjadi rektor Perguruan Tinggi Islam, Jakarta dan Profesor Universitas Mustopo, Jakarta. Dari tahun 1951 hingga tahun 1960, beliau menjabat sebagai Pegawai Tinggi Agama oleh Menteri Agama Indonesia, tetapi meletakkan jabatan itu ketika Sukarno menyuruhnya memilih antara menjadi pegawai negeri atau bergiat dalam politik Majlis Syura Muslimin Indonesia (Masyumi).

Dengan kemahiran bahasa Arabnya yang tinggi, beliau dapat menyelidiki karya ulama dan pujangga besar di Timur Tengah seperti Zaki Mubarak, Jurji Zaidan, Abbas al-Aqqad, Mustafa al-Manfaluti dan Hussain Haikal.

Mulai tahun 1928, beliau mengetuai cabang Muhammadiyah di Padang Panjang. Pada tahun 1929, Hamka mendirikan pusat latihan pendakwah Muhammadiyah dan dua tahun kemudian beliau menjadi konsul Muhammadiyah di Makassar.

Beliau menyusun kembali pembangunan dalam Kongres Muhammadiyah ke-31 di Yogyakarta pada tahun 1950.

Pada tahun 1953, Hamka dipilih sebagai penasihat pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiah. Pada 26 Juli 1977, Menteri Agama Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Mukti Ali melantik Hamka sebagai ketua umum Majlis Ulama Indonesia tetapi beliau kemudiannya meletak jawatan pada tahun 1981 karena nasihatnya tidak dipedulikan oleh pemerintah Indonesia.

Kegiatan politik HAMKA bermula pada tahun 1925 apabila beliau menjadi anggota parti politik Sarekat Islam. Pada tahun 1945, beliau membantu menentang kemaraan kembali penjajah Belanda ke Indonesia melalui pidato dan menyertai kegiatan gerila di dalam hutan di Medan. Pada tahun 1947, HAMKA dilantik sebagai ketua Barisan Pertahanan Nasional, Indonesia. Beliau menjadi anggota Konstituante Masyumi dan menjadi pemidato utama dalam Pilihan Raya Umum 1955. Masyumi kemudiannya diharamkan oleh pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1960. Dari tahun 1964 hingga tahun1966, HAMKA telah dipenjarakan oleh Presiden Sukarno kerana dituduh pro-Malaysia. Semasa dipenjarakanlah maka beliau mula menulis Tafsir al-Azhar yang merupakan karya ilmiah terbesarnya. Setelah keluar dari penjara, HAMKA dilantik sebagai ahli Badan Musyawarah Kebajikan Nasional, Indonesia, anggota Majlis Perjalanan Haji Indonesia dan anggota Lembaga Kebudayaan Nasional, Indonesia.

Selain aktif dalam soal keagamaan dan politik, HAMKA merupakan seorang wartawan, penulis, editor dan penerbit. Sejak tahun 1920-an lagi, HAMKA menjadi wartawan beberapa buah akhbar seperti Pelita Andalas, Seruan Islam, Bintang Islam dan Seruan Muhammadiyah. Pada tahun 1928, beliau menjadi editor majalah Kemajuan Masyarakat. Pada tahun 1932, beliau menjadi editor dan menerbitkan majalah al-Mahdi di Makasar. HAMKA juga pernah menjadi editor majalah Pedoman Masyarakat, Panji Masyarakat dan Gema Islam.

Hamka juga menghasilkan karya ilmiah Islam dan karya kreatif seperti novel dan cerpen. Karya ilmiah terbesarnya ialah Tafsir al-Azhar (5 jilid) dan antara novel-novelnya yang mendapat perhatian umum dan menjadi buku teks sastera di Malaysia dan Singapura termasuklah Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck, Di Bawah Lindungan Kaabah dan Merantau ke Deli.

Hamka pernah menerima beberapa anugerah pada peringkat nasional dan antarabangsa seperti anugerah kehormatan Doctor Honoris Causa, Universitas al-Azhar, 1958; Doktor Honoris Causa, Universitas Kebangsaan Malaysia, 1974; dan gelaran Datuk Indono dan Pengeran Wiroguno daripada pemerintah Indonesia.

Hamka telah pulang ke rahmatullah pada 24 Juli 1981, namun jasa dan pengaruhnya masih terasa sehingga kini dalam memartabatkan agama Islam.
