After that, he joined the Darul Uloom Haqqania in Akora Khattak. About three months after graduating from Darul Uloom Haqqania, he also studied from the teachers of Jamia Ashrafia Lahore, Sheikh Tafsir Maulana Muhammad Idris Kandhlawi and Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Hassan.[2][3]

After 20 years of teaching, on the advice of Shaykh-ul-Hadeeth Maulana Abdul Haq Akorwi, he entered the Islamic University of Madinah in 1973 and studied in various fields for fifteen years and got his Master and Ph.D. degrees. He also continued teaching in the Masjid e Nabawi. After graduating from the Islamic University of Madinah, he was appointed as a teacher in Jamia Darul Uloom, Karachi in 1987. Later, he also taught in Mufti Zar Wali Khan's Madrasa Jamia Ahsan-ul-Uloom Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi and Maulana Jalaluddin Haqqani's Madrasa Manba-ul-Uloom, Miramshah. Finally, at the invitation of his longtime colleague Shaykh-ul-Hadeeth Maulana Sami-ul-Haq in 1996 he came and started teaching Hadith at Darul Uloom Haqqania.[2][4]
