Karabegović was born in the northern Bosnian city of Modriča into a notable bey family who immigrated to Bosnia and Herzegovina from Budapest.[1] In Modriča he finished maktab. His father Hasan died in 1893, and his mother Fatima (née Mustajbegović) died in 1896. Following his mothers' death, Karabegović cared for his brother and two sisters.

His cousin Avdo S. Karabegović Halidbegov (also born 1878, but died 1900 of tuberculosis), shared his name is often confused for Karabegović. After suffering from tuberculosis for years, Karabegović entered a Loznica hospital in November 1908.
