He is often referred to as 'Mohius Sunnah' (Reviver of the Sunnah) for his role in leading the Majlis-e Dawatul Haq Bangladesh, a movement linked to Ashraf Ali Thanwi's reform initiatives, and he is recognized as a Sufi master in the Thanwi order through his discipleship under Abrarul Haq Haqqi, a successor of Thanwi.[1] He has been leading Jamia Islamia Darul Uloom Madania for over four decades and serves as the President of the National Fatwa Board, as well as the Khatib of Gulshan Central Masjid. He has authored a four-volume Quranic exegesis named Burhan al-Quran and written more than two hundred other books, in addition to establishing Al-Jamia, a monthly magazine published in Dhaka.
