In 1987, he moved to Canada and served as the Imam of Waterloo Masjid for four years. In 1991, he established an Islamic seminary in Buffalo, Darul Uloom Al-Madania. In 2010, a new branch of the seminary by the name of Darul Uloom Canada was opened in Chatham, Ontario. He pioneered eAlim, an online distance education program which caters to those who want to seek authentic Islamic knowledge but are unable to attend a full-time seminary. Then in 2013, he started a new institution for the general public called “Ibadur Rahmaan: Servants of Allah”
According to his students, he is an ardent bibliophile and erudite scholar with a thorough grasp of the Islamic tradition, whether it is Quranic exegesis, Hadith scholarship, Islamic Jurisprudence, History and Biography, Theology or Spirituality. He is fluent in Arabic, Urdu and English.
His extensive national and international travel experience on lecture appointments, community and interfaith outreach events and educational tours has given him valuable insights that his students and addresses regularly benefit from.
