Afterward, he moved to Lucknow to pursue higher education in Islamic studies at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, where he earned his title. He then headed to Aligarh for further studies but, disliking the intense political atmosphere on campus, chose instead to enroll at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, where he graduated with a degree in Arabic honors. He later completed an MA in Islamic Studies and obtained a BEd from Al-Falah University.[2][10]

India should not only stop the war in Gaza by mediating but should also stop the war in Ukraine by intervening because India is the biggest example of a humanitarian approach. There is no bigger example of it than India in the world.[6]
